The AXA Insurance Advertisement is Very Wrong

The AXA advertisements "Born to Protect" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXpoO_tMSSQ) about how it was able to process a claim for a consumer who had a car accident even before the consumer file a claim had been going on for quite awhile.

Everyday I pass in front of Time Square in Causeway Bay, the most expensive piece of real states in Hong Kong, I saw it.

If your story does not WOW, or Ops, or OMG

Or there is not enough time for your to tell a WOW/OPS/OMG story.

... ...

One Day, I stopped to watch it.

And I am confused.

A list of question comes across my mind:

How comes the newspaper is faster than the client?

How much percentage of these accident is covered by a newspaper?

How much is the possibility that an agent happen to read this piece of news and s/he is also the person in charge of the client account?

All in all, what is the odds that such a story is true?

And to a UX person, how the target customer can possibility associate the story with themselves, or quickly understand the message it is trying to convey.

I don’t think they can.

Because the case is too strange and rare to allow them to make a connection.

Well, who cares about talking a common case?

Say,

I had a car accident, i take 3 photos of the damaged parts of my car, a AXA staff looks at my photos, i get the money in my account to fix the car.

That is boring.

Well, you know.

PEOPLE’S LIFE ARE BORING!!

ACCIDENTS ARE BORING!!

AND..

IT HAPPENS!!

Tell a realistic story.

Know your customers and what their concerns are.

Tell them how you can solve them.

Be boring is okay.

It is better than be irrelevant.

The Global Digital Gaming Market: Reasons, Ecosystem and Top Performers

What are digital games to us as a society. I believe the most important question to answer when looking at an industry is how the society interact and utilize it. More specifically, how different groups in the society do. Looking at several dozens of iconic speeches, videos and discussion papers, I summarized them into 6 kinds: Source of Joy : no doubt this is the most usage of a digital game, It is fun to play and makes people happy. Human beings cannot live without play, and games exist to satisfy this need. Art Form : since the first video game exhibition in Museum of Moving Image in 1989; the characterization of games as art works has been controversial.The opponent states that games has no meaning but to entertain and they do not last long enough like art does; while the supporters argue that the medium of video games is potentially post-modern art and should be viewed through the same critical lens as any other form of art. And ...

2 Myth & 2 Truth About Bio-authentication

Bio-metrics using our physical characteristics to verify our identity. What has been advertised on the market is that it improves security level and make user experience much more simple. While at the same time, we also hear the opposite voice, from time to time, about the failure of the technology and the risk of using it. In this article, I aim to summarize the research findings to understand the actual benefit and risk of bio-metrics and what what are the key hurdles for implementing biometrics in end-consumer products. TechTarget defined Biometric payment as a point of sale (POS) technology that uses biometric authentication to identify the users and authorize the deduction of funds from a bank account. Fingerprint payment, based on finger-scanning, is the most common biometric payment method. As the authentication involved physical characteristics (e.g. fingerprint; voice; pupil etc), there certainly need a “point” on which the “S...
