Intel’s Ultrabook Temptations campaign has won Gold for Outdoor at the 2012 Spikes Creativity Awards. Six social experiments were staged across Australia, Indonesia, and Thailand using Ultrabooks as bait. The psychological studies were all devised to make participants step out of their comfort zone, but more specifically observe the human qualities of Determination, Power, Daring, Excitement, Persistence and Persuasiveness; the same qualities that went into the creation of the Ultrabook. Online at intel.com/ultrabooktemptations, the Ultrabook™ Temptations are a series of social experiments that explore just what people are prepared to do to get their hands on an Ultrabook™.
