BBDO Canada has launched a campaign for Swiss Chalet in february. Swiss Chalet is known in Canada for their roasted chicken. They started a The Rotisserie channel, where one can watch rottisserie chicken 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The mere announcement created a lot of free publicity, it was broadcasted in several newsshows, they were trending topic on Twitter, etc. While we Europeans are buying fireplace CD-ROMs – in America and Canada they have a fireplace channel and of course the step to Rotisserie Channel is smaller then.
We really enjoyed our dinner at Auberge Saint-Gabriel in Montréal, and all the show elements they use were an inspiration for Horecatrends. For example the bread is served, delicious warm, with a bow around it! It’s served on a shelve with knife in it.
Auberge Saint-Gabriel in Montréal, has a lot of space which is designed in an original way by designer Bruno Braën. For example the first thing you see upon entering the restaurant is a huge spine of a whale hanging in the center of the restaurant. They also have a grass-covered expanse that becomes a picnic and play area for the young at heart, and two genuine stuffed moose joined at the neck—the antithesis of a moose trophy on the wall—serve as a lamp. At their website you’ll find more pictures.
As we are confronted in the Netherlands with a lot of festivals during the summer, today we serve you this idea to get some extra attention for a festival through social media. The Beercompany Zlaty Bazant created an original and simple checking alcohol tester – The Line. By this they created a buzz about their product and the festival.

Adam Goldberg is not a restaurant critic, nor is he involved with food professionally. He is a software engineer who has a passion to eat and share his culinary experiences. He does that by taking pictures of his meal and share those with his followers on Twitter, Facebook and his website. Most of the visited restaurants are at San Francisco, New York and Paris. And there are many more self-styled restaurant critics who are not professionally giving reviews and have a lot of followers. It’s a development we haven’t yet seen in the Netherlands. But do you have our Illucensies in Amerika?

Concrete Blonde is a 100-seat restaurant presided over by chef Patrick Dang who has brought the many nuances of his international experience to the stylish tables of Concrete Blonde. We loved the pictures at The Cool Hunter.
ING Direct in Italy discovered that positive testimonials from current ING customers were responsible for bringing many new customers into the bank. In order to highlight how word of mouth referrals were driving the bank’s business, Leo Burnett Milan decided to create a series of live executions featuring real customers framed against bank billboards. Thus giving potential customers on the street the opportunity to talk to ING clients firsthand. Inspiration for the restaurant or hotel business? Just put happy guests somewhere behind a table with a meal, or in a bed?
