What a great way to promote the new Madden video game. Madden crushes the videos adjacent to his video ad. Not the first use of an ad interacting with surrounding content, but a brilliant application. Hats off to the agency. Dare you identify yourself?
How can a small company take advantage of this bountiful new online-video market? They can personalize their offering, increase reach, optimize search-engine rankings, and target with greater precision. While few startups will “go viral,” entrepreneurs have a competitive advantage in their flexibility and agility. Without large bureaucracies or expensive agencies, a smaller business can leave out…
Who would have thought that a few hundred dollars worth of Diet Coke and Mentos could turn into $30,000?

Oh sorry. I wasn’t speaking to you. I was talking to the blog. Would value your tips on improving the look and experience of this blog. I used to enjoy interacting more with commenters, but now “new comments” has been demoted visually beneath the big book. So a few thoughts, and welcome yours: 1) More…

I like butter.
I have to agree it was a pretty cool ad. I don’t really care about the product they’re advertising, but it’s nice to have ads that are clever instead of irritating.
I thought it was pretty cool too. Apparently Madden is a pretty cool game. Not being a gamer, I really couldn’t care less, but still a cool ad.
Ditto to 1, 6 and 7
anyone have a link?
