Dexter and Personalising Video

To support the UK release of the TV series Dexter, Ralph have created this very nice video at icetruck.tv, purporting to be a news report you can send to your friend. The video is then personalised, by adding their name and a message, which are displayed inline in the video. A lovely way […]

Vodafone and Time

Love this new commercial from BBH in London for Vodafone. Last Sunday, they took the route of the roadblock, that tactic that has not been seen for a while. It used to be you only needed to buy a few channels (2 would do it in the UK in the 80’s) but here, […]

TV and condoms

Adfreak point out a NY Times article explaining how 2 networks refused to accept advertising for Trojan Condoms as the message was contraception instead of disease reduction. I find the commercial itself amusing:

Bud TV

Looking at Bud TV, I’m was hit at the lack of information about what it is. The very first thing you have to do is register (to check you age) but there is little to explain what you will get if you do. I’m assuming the other media contains the enticement.

Heroes ARG

Heroes, the NBC TV show, has a Alternate Reality Game (ARG) associated with it. Well, sort of. Whilst following the premise of an ARG there’s no actual game play.
