I read about this promotion and just thought it was completely brilliant. So many digital stuff can be reworking - often in a great way - but finding some new way of using games and banner ads can be hard. This one is excellent.

The Resident Evil Extinction DVD comes out in the UK on Monday 18th Feb and there’ll be a huge interactive advertising purchase on that day promoting the film. But the ads are going to be special, they are going to be interactive and full of your zombies, all fighting it out to be the last survivor and win the prize of Television, PS3 and a copy of the film. Here’s the plan.

• Go to the Resident Evil Extinction DVD site and create your own zombie; load up your pic and set the decay buttons zombify your face.
• Visit the page regularly and train and feed your zombie. This is like the tiny electronic pets that you’ve to keep alive.
• On the 18th, the banner display ads get released and your zombie will be one of them, loose in the world. You’ll get an email telling you where it is so you can go and look at how it’s doing. Your zombie will roam across the ads on the site.
• But Alice is also out there, killing off the zombies at randon. However, if you’ve fed and trained it, it stands a superior chance of survival and being the last one standing. Alice will be tracked, as will the status of all the zombies. Whoever is left will win the prize.

So you get continued brand awareness from repeat visits to the initial site and from looking at the ads, buzz from the competition on the build up and eyeballs going to the sites where the ads are (which implies there is a value-add deal being done and it’s not a straightforward paid deal). The only thing I’d have liked to have seen is the ability to shore up your zombie on the day of the big hunt, maybe allow it to search for food across the site or something. It appears to have come from Green Room Digital (not sure if they just did the build or did the concept as well) and all I have the ability to state is congratulations for a really cool promotion.

Email groups are a great way to keep in touch with like-minded people. You get to learn and share information relevant to your fields, interests, or hobbies. However a side effect of email groups is inbox clutter.

So it’s a natural temptation to change your email group preferences and elect to receive “digests”, instead of individual messages as they’re sent within the group. Digests are compilations of all group activity for the day, and is packaged into one email for easy perusal. Yet this neatness-based feature might actually limit your effectiveness within an email group.

The email inbox doubles as a check list. More often than not, each individual message represents a specific task which needs to be accomplished. That’s why Gmail’s archive feature is a favorite of mine, since it allows me to make messages that I’ve handled disappear from the inbox. The workflow is simple: receive a message, handle the task outlined in it, and archive the message.

Unfortunately, email group digests make this difficult, as I found a few months ago when I opted to receive digests from the b5media business channel mail group. Because the messages were bunched together, it was practically impossible to quickly pull distinct tasks out of them. I found myself basically ignoring the messages and ended up behind the activities within the group.

Once I opted to receive individual messages again, I was able to get back on track. So, as you being your work week fellow freelancers, know that there’s nothing wrong with email groups. Just make sure you participate in them the right way.
