Yes, Novocortex sells drugs in Eastern Europe – internet marketing campaigns for OTC medicines
When you call a company Novocortex, you know that you will end up selling drugs:-) This is exactly what we do in Russia, Ukraine, Croatia and other countries of Eastern Europe – internet campaigns for non-prescription (Over-The-Counter) medicines. We can recommend a couple of drugs we’ve tested on ourselves: the motion sickness pill Dramina or the revolutionary probiotic for feminine health Vagilac.
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.
Enjoy Salieri, the poisoned mineral water. Best served to award winners

Internet marketing campaign to launch Rabo PinBox on the Dutch market

This user generated advertising was so convincing that Rabobank sold over 1.000 PinBoxes within 5 months.
Crowdsourcing and co-creation of online ads in a digital campaign for 24h Translations

Novocortex developed a creative concept for the ads – Words Can Be Expensive – and asked readers of marketing blogs to send us their own ideas of expensive words. The most expensive words were used in online ads and posters of 24h Translations.
