(Almost) An Advert A Day...

Let’s discuss.

We shall work around this popular scenario…

”I have good GCSEs, A Levels and a good degree, I DESERVE a good job.”

No, you deserve a pat on the back for having a good track record and working hard… from your mum. You may even get yourself on to a graduate…

THIS SATANIC GODDAMN THING IS REAL AND I AM UNREASONABLY ANGRY ABOUT IT

seriously look at this awful thing

No.

No no no no no no no.

I’m sorry, if you’re too stupid to make eggs in a pan, you don’t get to have a horrible egg-dog on a wooden stick like it’s some kind of carnival food. This product is a crime against gastronomy, and I want to find and destroy each and every example of it.

THE TOP COMMENT ON THAT VIDEO OMG

This is a scary-good idea for Coke from McCann in Hong Kong: a digital game that actually rewards people for watching the TV commercial. Brilliant.

Here’s the write-up from the Harvard Business Review (hat tip to Don Affleck!):

Plenty of advertising is already embedded in electronic games. The new wrinkle is that gaming can be embedded in ads — perhaps the only hope of engaging some people’s interest long enough to get a message across.

Coca-Cola China’s TV ad for the Hong Kong market invited viewers to use their smartphones to “chok” bottle caps flying across their TV screens. A well-timed waggle of the phone would catch a cap on the phone’s screen, earning points (to be redeemed later for sweepstakes entries). This mobile integration was complicated: For instance, people had to download a special app to play, and the timing of the ads had to be announced in advance so that players would be ready. But it all came together and worked. The app was downloaded 380,000 times in its first month, and exposure to the ad (on TV, YouTube, and Weibo combined) exceeded 9 million views.

Electronic games started out as all whizbang technology and no aesthetic appeal. (Pong, anyone?) Today’s gamers demand not only stunning visuals but also narrative and emotional depth. As advancing technology makes such integration more seamless, many marketers will build on this start. Some of them may be surprised at how rapidly creative talent comes back to the fore.
