Heinz and Reckitt Benckiser get playful with Captcha

   



Don’t you just love it when you come across something new and innovative, then before you know it, brands are falling over each other to try it out… We do! And that’s why we’re loving the fact that Future Ad Labs – one of our ‘Top Innovators’ – has just signed up Heinz and Reckitt Benckiser as launch partners for its PlayCaptcha product.

It’s a pretty cool idea. The interactive ad format is designed to increase brand engagement and improve overall consumer sentiment and product recall. How? By gamifying CAPTCHAs (that security feature that’s used online to prove that we’re not robots!)

For Heinz, the PlayCaptcha invites visitors to pour a virtual bottle of salad cream onto a sandwich, while Reckitt Benckiser has developed a PlayCaptcha persuading visitors to clean a virtual dirty penny by dragging it into a bowl of Cillit Bang.

Like I said, we just love it when a plan comes together…
