Behind the Buzz - digital and interactive advertising and marketing

Vodafone and Time

by Rachel on June 20th, 2007

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, indicative of the changing face of media, they played the ad on 200 TV channels and 6 websites. Associated print can be seen over at Scamp’s blog and digital work (from Dare) can be found here. Although all the bits in themselves are good, I find a disconnect - are they really the same? The web stuff is good - clean and effective but focuses on the functional, there’s none of the whimsy or fun found in the TV.

In comments I suggested that there should be an outtake of this where you get grandfather clocks falling out the sky and crushing people. Unfortunately, although discussed, this was not done. Now I just wait for the spoof!
