Wine Connection and DRNK AR App Launch Full Augmented Reality Experience Stores This Christmas

0

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 14 November 2019  Wine shopping just got a little better this
Christmas season. Not only is Wine Connection coming back with the second
iteration of their annual Wine Tasting Fair on 16 and 17 November, they are
also launching their Scan, See & Win campaign
in partnership with DRNK.

 

In this collaboration with DRNK — an augmented reality (AR) app for
alcoholic beverages — Wine Connection is turning all their stores islandwide
into a full AR experience. Over 500 wine bottle labels in all Wine Connection
stores have been optimised to be used with the DRNK AR App. With a simple scan
using the app, the drink will come to life in front of your eyes with
interactive animations.

 

In the spirit of the season of giving, Wine Connection and DRNK have
teamed up to gamify the entire experience for in-store customers. A total of
SGD50,000 worth of prizes are up for grabs – all you need to do is to scan any
wine bottle in store and you will be visited by a playful little Santa Claus.
With each scan, Father Christmas will let you know if you have won a prize or
if you need to try again next time. Prizes can be redeemed on the spot.

 

And because Santa is feeling generous, you can stand to win twice.

 

DRNK AR serves as more than just a fun and frivolous app. Harnessing
the power of AR — an emerging trend in marketing — Omniaz (developers of DRNK
AR app) aims to help you make better wine and drinks decisions (beers and
spirits). Scanning any compatible label will allow you to learn more about the
wine’s aromas, tasting notes, food pairings, and other information in an
engaging manner. You will be able to rate the wines and the app will remember
your preferences for the next time it makes a recommendation.

 

With DRNK AR, passive consumption will become a thing of the past as
wine enthusiasts appreciate the transparency and value-add that the app
provides.

 

On the business side of things, DRNK offers a platform for producers,
distributors, merchants, and the likes as a solution to get to know their
consumers better through data and analytics. Businesses can also personally
monitor and tailor their content assets in order to stand out from the other
brands on the shelves.

 

The Wine Connection and DRNK Scan,
See & Win
campaign launches on 18th November and runs till 31st
December, available while stocks last in all Wine Connection retail outlets
islandwide.

owners, distributors and merchants market and communicate to consumers through
beverage products. Driven by technology and data, we offer a personalized,
engaging and interactive channel via Artificial Intelligence and Augmented
Reality that businesses control and manage.

  • Ericsson Radio System offers service providers a means to transition smoothly to 5G
  • Telcos have the opportunity to invest in a solution that suits their current needs, with the flexibility to easily add functionality in the future.

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has won the Network Infrastructure Initiative of the Year award at Comms MEA Awards 2019 for its Ericsson Radio System (ERS) for 5G. The solution is designed to fit all site types and traffic scenarios, even as networks grow in scale and complexity from 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G – delivering industry-leading performance on the smallest site footprint with the lowest energy consumption. All ERS products, 4 million radios deployed worldwide since 2015, are ready to switch on 5G.

Ericsson’s 5G-ready Radio System also allows service providers to explore new use cases and business models as well as capture new revenue streams through addressing industry digitalization.

SBI Media Group and Its Boss Bag Multiple Awards at MWA 2019

0

Nigeria’s torch was lighted brightly and held aloft majestically at the MarketingWorld Awards 2019 as SBI Media, one of Nigeria’s top 7 largest media agencies, Streams Media and Communications Network, its subsidiary, and the media group’s founder and chief executive officer, Rotimi Bankole, one of Nigeria’s media and marketing communications eggheads, emerged winners in three different categories at the 9th edition of the Awards which held recently in Accra, the capital city of the Republic of Ghana.

While SBI Media clinched the Media Agency of the Year award, Streams Media and Communications Network won the award for the Creative Agency of the Year; while Rotimi Bankole, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the group emerged the Media Personality of the Year.

At a well-attended ceremony which held at Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in the heart of Accra and which had the crème de la crème of the marketing and advertising community in Africa and other parts of the world in attendance, the erudite professional and his iconic agencies were honoured with the awards among so much glitz and glamour.

As the organizers of the event disclosed, while SBI Media and its subsidiary, Streams Media and Communications Network were rewarded and celebrated for delivering superior product values to the integrated marketing communications market and having exhibited excellence in upholding concrete marketing strategies, displaying uniqueness among offerings, conveying clear message to consumers and standing out from the competition; Bankole was recognised and rewarded for his doggedness and hard work in growing the SBI Media Group to an Olympian height within just a few years.

It would be recalled that Bankole founded SBI Media in 2013 as a strategic media strategy and buying agency. SBI Media is a member of the Masscom Global Network, a group over 40 agencies across Asia, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific region. As the West Africa strategic partner of Masscom Global, SBI Media has expanded into event and activations with Streams Communications and Media Network as well as Octageo Energy, an oil and gas marketing and sales company.

As an agency group, SBI Media is among the media agencies in Nigeria with billions of Naira in annual billings. And, as a globally-focused group, the agency has built a strategic consortium of management partners across Canada, Turkey, Europe and Asia to cooperate beyond borders.

Commenting on the event, Bankole, the media advertising guru applauded the organizers of the marketing world Awards for their consistency in identifying deserving brands, agencies, companies and personalities across Africa and according them the recognition, commendation and celebration that are due to them, adding that for them to have done so for nine long years, with consistent improvement and greater impact year on year is laudable.

And while responding to exiting feat of his agencies and his own personality award, Bankole said, “On behalf of all the good people and team behind the SBI Media Group, we are elated to receive these tripartite awards,” adding, “We will be looking into the future with our heads up, with the mindset that impossible is nothing and that we can achieve much more if we put our minds to it. We look forward to breaking new grounds, going global and putting our country, region and continent on the map as a place filled with opportunities and talents and most especially, companies like us doing good work and making brands famous and profitable”.

Hosted by Instintwave, the MarketingWorld Award is one of the leading marketing communications’ industry awards that recognize outstanding performances across the industry in Africa. The echoes of its 2019 edition are still reverberating on the continent and beyond.

“Inheriting the already rich creative spirit of the Reno Series, this latest iteration presents our users with even more creative possibilities, empowering them to discover new perspectives,” said Joseph Adeola, Public Relations Manager of OPPO Nigeria. “Its advanced camera technology performs superbly in a range of environments and scenarios, from busy cities to natural landscapes to broad daylight to dark nightlife.”

The Reno2 will come equipped with four cameras that provide a full focal length imaging system; offering a 5x Hybrid Zoom, Ultra-Wide Angle lens and more.

With a 48MP primary lens equipped with Optical Image Stabilization, F1.7 aperture, and a 1/2-inch sensor along with Quad Bayer technology, Reno2 can achieve better performance in low light. The Reno2 Series’ Ultra Dark Mode covers an entire range of different night scenes via a powerful NPU, and OPPO fine-tuned algorithms. Even if light levels measure below 1 lux, it elevates your photos beyond naked eye through hardware network-optimized AI noise reduction.

Guests examining the OPPO Reno2 device at the launch

But a single photo can’t tell a whole story, and with social media users increasingly shooting video, OPPO is paying more attention to Videography than before. OPPO’s industry-leading Ultra Steady Video Mode technology ups the stability of videos, enabling users to capture steady videos while running, skiing, skateboarding, cycling, and more. It’s achieved through an IMU measuring device with a high sampling rate and a hull sensor, equipped with Electronic Image Stabilization and Optical Image Stabilization. These compensate for users’ shaky shots more accurately, and together with a 60fps frame rate, enhance image stabilization, fluency, and overall image quality.

The user-centric design combines practicality with style

The Reno2 is also equipped with a 6.5” dynamic AMOLED screen, 2400×1080 resolution, and a screen-to-body ratio of 93.1%, made from durable 6th Generation Corning® Gorilla® Glass. The Reno2 Z and Reno2 F feature a slightly smaller 6.5’’ AMOLED screen, with 2340×1080 resolution, and a screen-to-body ratio of 91.1%, made from toughened 5th Generation Corning® Gorilla® Glass. The Reno2 comes with the improved Dynamic AMOLED Screen, which offers sufficient brightness even in bright outdoor environments while extending screen service life by 50% and reducing power consumption by 6%. The Reno2 comes with a Shark fin Pop-up Camera, which supports an ultra-clear backlit shot and all-new AI Beauty Mode while the Reno2 Z and Reno2 F feature a 16MP pop-up front camera featuring an Atmosphere Light.

Cutting-edge hardware and software that delivers superb performance

ColorOS 6.1, running on the latest version of Android Pie 9.0, featuring a smoother and more enjoyable user experience, powers the Reno2 Series. It provides a brand-new visual experience, including wallpaper designs that better match the phone’s exterior design. Light, elegant, and borderless gradient colours are used to replace the previously used large-area colour blocks, and new gestures to manage navigation make the phone more comfortable to operate with a single hand.

This Reno2 series offers a complete gaming experience, with optimized features like Touch Boost 2.0, Frame Boost 2.0 and Game Space. Touch Boost 2.0 helps users avoid common pitfalls of running hardcore titles while Frame Boost 2.0 analyses the status of mobile performance so that frame rate and stability will be adjusted to prioritize a first-class gaming experience. Frame Boost 2.0 will also allocate resources to avoid the consumption of too much power and the heating of the phone. What’s more, Game Space collectively manages game apps to give users a distraction-free and more immersive gaming experience. Overall, the Reno2 Series has five-star gaming performance certification from TUV Rheinland, which tests the overall gaming performance of the phone from the screen, battery life, performance, and signal strength.

The OPPO Reno2 series features fast and safe VOOC Flash Charge 3.0 technology. This uses a new VFC algorithm, significantly shortening the final 10% of charging time by doubling the trickle charging speed. VOOC Flash Charge 3.0 combines with the Reno2 series’ 4,000mAh (Typ) battery to provide users with a much longer-lasting battery.
