With their new interactive web campaign, Saab takes you through a series of questions to identify your “turbo gene.”
But instead of the usual text multiple choice personality tests, each question prompts you to pick the image of the things that best represent you: A famous person in history, a glove, a periodical, etc.
At the conclusion of the questions the items you have picked are grouped on the screen before you and a small summary titled, “THIS IS YOU.” Next you are introduced to the Saab car model that matches your turbo gene.
I will admit I am a sucker for personality tests. Myer Brigs quantifies me as an ENFP, the Color Code says I am a Blue-Red, and now according to Saab I am a “Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan Aero Biopower.”
Because I invested a few minutes into the test, and felt like the summary accurately portrayed me, I now feel personally connected with the 9-3 Sport Sedan. Proof that the campaign connects with its audience, (well at least all ENFP’s in the world).
Heck, maybe I will use my Saab bio for my online dating profile:
You are creative, somewhat philosophical, with lots of different interests. You love design, beautiful things and quality and follow current affairs. And, if possible you’ll go to the zoo. You’re single. When driving: a mix of hills and flat roads, in light showers, enjoying the mild temperature.

Now ANY web page can become a Social Network. LiveWord, leader in social media marketing, announced today the availability LiveBar.
“LiveBar can be deployed across a brand’s site literally in minutes and instantly appears as an action bar at the bottom of the web page. As a user clicks on the bar, a translucent overlay rises over the primary web page, enabling discussions, commenting and other social network applications. Users don’t have to leave the content page in order to participate in the community. LiveBar knows what page it is on, thus providing conversations that are relevant to the context of that page.” (www.liveworld.com)
“‘LiveBar totally changes the social network marketing opportunity,’ said Rich LaFauci, U.S. Managing Director of Technology, Digitas. ‘This allows brands to deploy a social network on a current site with virtually no lead time, bypassing the costly and time consuming efforts of designing and integrating a community site. In many cases this could make the difference between activating a social marketing campaign or skipping it completely.’” (www.liveworld.com)
