Big Apes Love Blondes for iPhone explores the unexplained love of big apes (and men) towards blondes. You can become a great ape in the game by catching runaway blondes and protecting them from savage enemies. You need to use both your brain and testosterone to keep as many blondes in your nest as possible. If you lose 3 blondes, the game is over.

Guerrilla marketing campaign Scratches On Your Car for a car insurance

Novocortex used guerrilla marketing tactics to build brand awareness for VrijVerzekerd, a Dutch online insurance company. We placed stickers with huge scratches on expensive cars. Stickers could be easily removed, because they were printed on Static Paper. This paper has no glue on it and sticks due to static electricity. We filmed reactions of car owners with a hidden camera, placed the video on YouTube and invited blog readers to test the stickers on their friends.

Online videos, TV commercials and virals created by Novocortex

Importance of video for internet marketing is growing, as people prefer (moving) images to long stories. Just look in the news feed of your Facebook page, and you’ll see a lot of images and quite few words. In the early days of Novocortex, we made Flash banners and online advertising games for our clients. Today, we use video to tell the brand’s story in 1 minute and to connect with viewers on an emotional level. Watch selected virals, video reports and TV commercials created by Novocortex.

BrainShopping is a fun shopping and advergaming platform where visitors pay with their brain

Sometimes we develop our own online and mobile products to test our ideas in the market. In 2007-2008, we launched BrainShopping – a fun shopping concept for women and a new form of online advertising. BrainShopping.nl was the only internet shop where visitors could pay with their brain – by winning an online puzzle or quiz. Forget credit cards, cattle, cowry shells and even whale’s teeth – brain was the only currency accepted at BrainShopping. In 2009, we sold BrainShopping to Sanoma Magazines.
