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?
In a recent WillVideoForFood Forum post, I invited people to submit their “must read” blogs and websites on the subject of online video. As you can imagine, it’s very difficult to find these on Google. Here’s an initial list, and I’m going to be making a video featuring the best sources. So please let me…
Ann is a 46-year-old mother and mental-health professional and self described “conservative liberal, or liberal conservative, closet science nerd, shoe-addict, and beauty product-junkie.” She says she’s met her credit card balance limits and paid routinely, but that didn’t stop Bank of America from jacking up her interest rate to a whooping 30%.

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.

Ditto to 1, 6 and 7
anyone have a link?
