This would not be the video of the exploding shoes that wowed us all. That was good, but still nothing more than some fancy video image master experimenting. This is the release of the Augmented Reality Shoe Teaser going live. Thats right, the full augmented reality experience with your interactive foot gear.

Astounded that this video is the most watched video on YouTube. "Charlie bit my finger - again" is the title and has seen over 160 million views.

Consumer Engagement and Socialnomics
It can be said without doubt that social media is here to stay. Consumers engagement has revolutionized the way small and large brands are communicating with their customers. To reach a person at their place of interest whilst browsing is a huge plus that traditional media such as radio, tv and print just have not attained.
