Teaser! Countdown Clock! Blog! It Must be…A Marketing Campaign!

Here’s yet another one of those videos that presents itself as one thing but is likely just another promotion for something no one needs or wants. In the video, the predictions of Nostradamus are examined as they relate to some mysterious wind that is supposed to “besiege the capital of Europe” otherwise known as Brussels.

The video ends with the classic date teaser, “Fall 2008” and a link leads to https://legrandsouffle.be, a blog with the ubiquitous countdown clock and other goodies. It’s not in English so it’s unclear if there are any further details on the site. No doubt, those who can read the site will fill in the blanks.

The video was posted by Cherry and Cake, a fairly well known agency in the Netherlands. Care to comment, guys?

Cornell researcher Vanessa Bohns has spent years studying why people agree to requests they’d rather decline, and her research consistently finds that people dramatically overestimate the social cost of saying no, which means most of the exhaustion of over-committing gets paid for a consequence that was never really on the table
