mms advertising

without comments

Great idea for a use of medium in advertising, in this case a magazine advert paired with an MMS. You see the ad in the mag, you text to get the secret MMS to complete the picture, AXE deodorant gets your mobile number to text you more ads down the road. What I don’t get is how tenuous the link is between the message and the product. Just wished they saved this idea for a bit and used it for a more appropriate client.

The new campagin for Sony PS3. Simply excellent! What’s your playface? See more on the Playface website!

It’s that face you make when you are playing video games and concentrating so much that you don’t even realize the kind of expressions you are making. And everyone has a different one.”

Brilliant advertising comes in many forms. Sometimes its the one ad with the catchy song that everyone loves. Sometimes its on the floor in the mall with a really smart message. Sometimes its this Pringles ad that made me walk to FairPrice to get me some. Yes. Advertising does work on me.

the king has lost his wallet

Once in a while, somewhere, someone comes up with such a ridiculously good marketing idea that it makes you stand up, take note and be in awe.

Burger King decided that losing wallets with real cash inside will be a good way to sell burgers, and they are right! Along with cash bills, ranging fro $1 to $100 USD, in the wallets are also receipts, fake IDs and Burger King discount cards.

Brilliant!
