Hot Bavarian Girls for QR Codes

Here's a pic of a HOT Bavarian girl wearing a QR code at the World Cup with some nerd. God bless.

Verizon "Droid" Posters Feature QR Codes

It's been no secret that Google and Android have embraced QR codes as an easy way to share information and apps. While in Chigago, IL for a wedding, I  stumbled across these posters on the side of a building using QR codes. Funny thing is that the movie poster above do NOT feature QR codes but the Verizon "Droid" posters do (I personally think that the movie industry needs get with it) .  The codes direct you to the same landing page for Iphone users as the same ad run in People Magazine. The codes are much more friendly to Android devises with links to hot new apps for the OS. For the Iphone, the content is blah, which isn't surprising.

Hearts On Fire Continues to Dazzle the QR Code World

This is what "BEYOND the CODE" is all about! Hearts On Fire continues to dominate the world of QR code marketing by offering custom mobile content (Smart Sites) for each audience of readers that is targeted and sharable. In this case it's the readers of Harper's Bazaar and The Knot. By scanning the QR code readers are taken to a custom landing page with info about the particular styles with social links, including the Facebook "like" button. 

Most brands who have been early to incorporate QR codes into their print media have been doing it wrong. The content isn't mobile or it's hard to share and gimmicky.  Hearts On Fire is doing it right. Check out the video and see how. Cheers
