Last Day on Behind the Buzz

Nokia Comes with Music

Last week I went along to a launch of Nokia’s new phone/service Comes With Music. I say ‘a’ launch as this was one of a few, this one being the celebrity version, which means loud music, free drinks and a press line both inside and outside the venue ready to capture all the celebrities […]

King of Air Guitar

From Azor and King of Shaves, comes King of Air Guitar. This is RockBand/Guitar Hero for your flash games. I love this, it’s insane. There’s only a few songs available, but they’ve gone to town with the silly videos. A time waster which is a lot of fun.
The branding here is […]

American football is the most popular sport in the US, but in the rest of the world, it’s not so popular. But the National Football League, the sport’s governing body, wants to change that and has its eyes set on becoming a top 5 sport in the UK, according to the Bloomberg […]

Wassup 8 years on

Sometimes, ads enter the culture and take on a life on their own. This happened with the Bud Wassup ad, as any search on YT will show you.

Sony Ericsson C905 Cybershot

The Idea
Sony Ericsson have launched a new phone, the c905 Cybershot whose main selling point appears to be the 8.1megapixel camera.

there’s a YT video about the making of the big TV commercial. They’re only releasing this video online - which begs the question where else could they release it?

there’s a TV commercial somewhere, but […]

More Bond Promotion

You can’t move at the moment without hitting a James Bond promotion. Here in the UK, as well as obvious advertising we’ve had multiple TV programmes all about the franchise, or the man behind the story, or whatever they could squeeze out and get viewers.
Today I received a Sony email, pointing me towards the latest […]
