Agency Spy pointed me towards, Nokia’s new site Get out and Play which I love. Great video, interesting and engaging, I love the ‘real life game’ included in the middle of the video.

There’s nothing commercial in the top 100 this week - have brands given up on YouTube or is it just not delivering? The main promotion this week is from Post It Notes, who are running a competition.
Usual type of contest - create a video showing your unique way of using Post It Notes, […]

An ad for a contest for Nescafe was on TV, the only phrase that caught my ear was Nescafe Experiences, no URL appeared to be mentioned. Searching for the phrase for me nothing and the Nescafe main site was only 4th on the list. I eventually found my way onto Nescafe UK, which […]

It’s April 1 and time to pull jokes. But there’s an interesting move in using the jokes to get more publicity for a company, as Valleywag points out. Now, given the blog and the day, there’s a chance that this is not correct, but it feels like something that companies would do […]

Iain reports on how he was surprised by the people behind Make Mine a Builder’s*. Sending out samples is nothing new, but Iain was surprised as this was completely out of the blue, they’d not emailed him first to find out his address but had done the digging needed to deliver a present. […]

Via Adrants, I see that Domino’s have a MySpace video competition on the go. Let them know what you do with your pizza box before you recycle it - the green message it pretty big throughout the page.

It’s interesting to watch how previous clients change their looks and strategy. Sunsilk in the US had the main tagline of ‘get some hairapy’, now it’s changed to ‘life can’t wait’.
