Playstation commercial — Double Life

Double Life' is one of the greatest TV commercials sony ever did here in europe for the original PlayStation.

Here's a transscript:
For years, I've lived a double life.
In the day, I do my job
I ride the bus, roll up my sleeves with the hoi polloi.
But at night, I live a life of exhilaration,
of missed heartbeats and adrenalin.
And, if the truth be known, a life of dubious virtue.
I won'€™t deny it I've been engaged in violence, even indulged in it.
I've maimed and killed adversaries€“ and not merely in self-defence.
I've exhibited disregard for life, limb and property,
and savoured every moment.
You may not think it, to look at me,
but I have commanded armies and conquered worlds.
And though in achieving these things I've set morality aside,
I have no regrets.
For though I've led a double life, at least I can say:
I've lived.

Amnesty International: China Is Getting Ready

When I first saw these ads, I didn’t know much about Amnesty International and their mission in the world. After some digging I’ve learned that the Amnesty focus on five key areas: Women’s Rights, Children’s Rights, Ending Torture and Execution, Rights of Refugees and Rights of Prisoners of Conscience. Their primary mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights.

“In the name of ensuring stability and harmony in the country during the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese Government continues to detain and harass political activists, journalists, lawyers and human rights workers. Get involved www.amnesty.sk.”

Video for Durex Performa

Ooma’s First Viral Video

New consumer VOIP service Ooma officially launched yesterday and began selling units on their website. See additional coverage from Dean Takahashi and Adweek.

They also released their first (drug induced?) viral video to promote the service, which I have embedded above. The video was conceptualized by Ashton Kutcher, the company’s creative director (hear our interview with Kutcher and CEO Andrew Frame here). Kutcher’s production company, Katalyst Films, produced it.

The company says the video is loaded with symbolism, and the meaning will become clearer over time as more videos are released in the series. Whatever it is, it’s entertaining.

Get one of the last ten free Oomas
The company gave TechCrunch readers fifty free Ooma systems in July. Today they say they’ll give us more to distribute to readers now - the last ten free Oomas. To win, leave a comment below and tell me WTF you think the video means, because I have no idea. The most creative answers win.

The 'Halo' Effect

Hello, Halo. The latest installment of the Xbox 360 video-game sensation will be released Sept. 25. Gamers have been playing beta snippets for months, fans are slurping up co-marketed "Halo 3" Mountain Dew Game Fuel and bloggers have typed millions of words on it.
So whether the installment of the first-person shooter saga lives up to its hype is irrelevant. Halo is already a certifiable pop-culture and marketing phenomenon.
SALES
Presales for "Halo 3" have already topped 1 million ("Halo 2" set a record with $125 million in first-day sales in November 2004). During E3, then-Microsoft executive Peter Moore said he expects "Halo 3" to become a $1 billion franchise by the end of the year.
CONSOLE SALES
"Halo 3," like previous Halos, was created by Bungie Studios exclusively for Microsoft's Xbox. That means anyone who wants to play the game has to have -- or buy -- an Xbox 360 console. Don't scoff. Analysts expect a surge in 360-console sales around the launch.
ONLINE PLAY
Beginning with "Halo 2," players could compete online through Microsoft's Xbox Live service. "Halo 2" was the most popular game on Live until "Gears of War" supplanted it last holiday. To date, almost 1 billion collective playing hours have been logged.
MARKETING
A trailer for "Halo 3" was rolled out at E3 in 2006. Microsoft agency McCann Worldgroup, San Francisco, and T.A.G. launched the first ad -- a well-received live-action spot -- in December and ran it only one time. More McCann spots that feature main character Master Chief defeating foes began last week, and Microsoft has dubbed launch week "Unite to Fight." An alternate-reality game, "Iris," also has been running online since June, revealing game details along the way.
THE MOVIE
Director Peter Jackson has pledged his support, but several studios have dropped the project due to its expense. According to news reports, when Microsoft first went to studios with a script in 2005, its demands included $10 million plus 15% of the box office gross, plus a minimum $75 million budget.
HALO NATION
The fanatic group of loyalists are often referred to by Microsoft, Bungie and others as the Halo Nation. There is a Halo Nation website, podcast and plenty of gear. More than 10,000 retailers in the U.S. will sell "Halo 3 " beginning at midnight on Sept. 25.
CO-MARKETING
The Halo franchise has about 30 licensees. For "3," Mountain Dew, 7-Eleven, Pontiac, Burger King and Comcast are looking for the Halo effect on a cadre of products and promotions.

Commercial for Ford s-max

Agency: Ogilvy, London
Creatives: Paul Diver, Alan Morrice
Production: Rattling Stick, London
Director: Daniel Kleinman
Editor: Steve Gandolfi
Post Production: Framestore CFC, London
While the new generation Ford Galaxy takes the attributes of flexibility, spaciousness, and safe and comfortable driving to new levels, the Ford S-MAX takes Ford into a new market sector.

Both models have been designed and developed in-house by Ford of Europe, and will be built at the company’s Genk Assembly Plant in Belgium. For the Galaxy, this marks a major departure from the previous joint-venture model.

Both vehicles are also significant in being the first to enter volume production with elements of the company’s new ´kinetic design´ styling. First seen last year in the striking Ford iosis concept car, this creative new form language expresses energy in motion, and this is certainly true for the distinctive shapes in the bold body forms of Ford Galaxy and Ford S-MAX.

While the new Galaxy generation adds a dynamic angle to the vehicle’s space credentials, the crossover S-MAX clearly expresses more sporty ambitions.

The family face of both vehicles shows their obvious relation, yet the only common parts in the S-MAX’s and Galaxy’s external body panels are the head lights and the front bonnet. They really are two distinctly different vehicles – the Ford S-MAX roof height is about one hand width lower than the Galaxy’s (1607mm v 1676mm). All other body panels, as well as doors and glass, are individual. Thus, each vehicle’s distinguished design style expresses its particular character.

CNN.com Inks Multi-Year Advertising Agreement with Google

Exclusive advertising deal connects CNN.com with hundreds of thousands of advertisers

ATLANTA and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (August 28, 2007) - CNN.com and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) announced an agreement today that enlists Google’s AdSense™ advertising program to deliver site targeted advertising to CNN.com.

Through this collaboration, the AdSense service places contextually relevant ads alongside CNN.com content, allowing both small and large advertisers to target CNN.com specifically and connect with high quality content and traffic. Under the terms of the deal, Google will serve as the exclusive provider of auction-based text advertisements throughout CNN.com.

"At CNN.com, our mission is laser-focused on providing up-to-the-minute news and information to our users," said David Payne, senior vice president and general manager of CNN.com. "Our new relationship with Google will deliver relevant ads to our users, enhancing their overall experience on CNN.com. We look forward to a successful partnership."

"CNN.com is an important and respected news source, and we’re pleased to enhance the reader experience through the targeted placement of relevant ads," said Marc Leibowitz, Google’s director of strategic partnerships.

With a variety of ad formats including text, image and video, AdSense gives advertisers the ability to communicate their messages in compelling ways and allows publishers to customize the look and feel of their sites to give consumers the best possible online experience. AdSense has a number of targeting options so publishers can maximize their revenue potential and advertisers can effectively meet their campaign goals no matter their budget. Site targeting, a feature of AdSense available to all program participants, helps publishers earn even more revenue by connecting them with new advertisers who are willing to bid a higher cost-per-thousand impressions for space on their site.

ads article: There Are 12 Kinds of Ads in the World

In 1978, Donald Gunn was a creative director for the advertising agency Leo Burnett. Though his position implied expertise, Gunn felt he was often just throwing darts—relying on inspiration and luck (instead of proven formulas) to make great ads. So, he decided to inject some analytical rigor into the process: He took a yearlong sabbatical, studied the best TV ads he could find, and looked for elemental patterns.

After much research, Gunn determined that nearly all good ads fall into one of 12 categories—or "master formats," in his words. At last year's Clio Awards, I saw Gunn give a lecture about these formats (using ads mostly from the '70s and '80s as examples), and I was fascinated by his theory. I soon found myself categorizing every ad I saw on TV. It was a revelation: The curtain had been pulled back on all those sly sales tactics at the heart of persuasive advertising.

This slide show presents some recent ads exemplifying each of Gunn's 12 basic categories. With a little practice, you, too, will be ticking off the master formats during commercial breaks.

Prometeus - The Media Revolution

Man is God.
He is everywhere, he is anybody, he knows everything.
This is the Prometeus new world.
All started with the Media Revolution, with Internet, at the end of the last century.
Everything related to the old media vanished: Gutenberg, the
copyright, the radio, the television, the publicity.
The old world reacts: more restrictions for the copyright, new laws against non authorized copies. Napster, the music peer to peer company is sued.
At the same time, free internet radio appears;
TIVO, the internet television, allows to avoid publicity; the Wall Street Journal goes on line; Google launches Google news.
Millions of people read daily the biggest on line newspaper. Ohmynews written by thousands of journalists; Flickr becomes the biggest repository in the history of photos, YouTube for movies.
The power of the masses.
A new figure emerges: the prosumer, a producer and a consumer of information. Anyone can be a prosumer.
The news channels become available on Internet.
The blogs become more influential than the old media.
The newspapers are released for free.
Wikipedia is the most complete encyclopedia ever.
In 2007 Life magazine closes.
The NYT sells its television and declares that the future is digital. BBC follows.
In the main cities of the world people are connected for free.
At the corners of the streets totems print pages from blogs and digital magazines.
The virtual worlds are common places on the Internet for millions of people.
A person can have multiple on line identities.
Second Life launches the vocal avatar.
The old media fight back.
A tax is added on any screen; newspapers, radios and televisions are financed by the State; illegal download from the web is punished with years of jail.
Around 2011 the tipping point is reached: the publicity investments are done on the Net. The electronic paper is a mass product: anyone can read anything on plastic paper.
In 2015 newspapers and broadcasting television disappear, digital terrestrial is abandoned, the radio goes on the Internet.
The media arena is less and less populated. Only the Tyrannosaurus Rex survives. The Net includes and unifies all the content. Google buys Microsoft. Amazon buys Yahoo! and become the world universal content leaders with BBC, CNN and CCTV.
The concept of static information - books, articles, images - changes and is transformed into knowledge flow.
The publicity is chosen by the content creators, by the authors and becomes information, comparison, experience.
In 2020 Lawrence Lessig, the author of 'Free Culture', is the new US Secretary of Justice and declares the copyright illegal.
Devices that replicate the five senses are available in the virtual worlds. The reality could be replicated in Second Life.
Any one has an Agav (agent-avatar) that finds information, people, places in the virtual worlds.
In 2022 Google launches Prometeus, the Agav standard interface.
Amazon creates Place, a company that replicates reality. You can be on Mars, at the battle of Waterloo, at the Super Bowl as a person. It's real.
In 2027 Second Life evolves into Spirit. People become who they want.
And share the memory. The experiences. The feelings. Memory selling becomes a normal trading.
In 2050 Prometeus buys Place and Spirit. Virtual life is the biggest market on the planet. Prometeus finances all the space missions to find new worlds for its customers: the terrestrial avatar.
Experience is the new reality.

Voice: Philip K. Dick Avatar.

video ads: Sony Blu-ray Disc Advert

Here’s Brett Foraker’s new Sony Blu-ray Disc commercial.
The advert was filmed on location in Hungary within a working industrial chimney, with all shots taken in the absence of any form of natural light. A bank of lasers capture the action of gladiators battling futuristic robo-cops and suped-up motor cars being dropped from a sheer height (hence the industrial chimney).

Online Video Ads: Just Wait

Poke around on Yahoo! (YHOO) a bit, and you'd think online video advertising is already flourishing. A trailer for the latest Harry Potter film is prominently located on Yahoo's home page. On the portal's food site, there's a Hellmann's mayonnaise ad that features a video of a man steaming salmon on his car engine. And a search for "funny videos" reveals an entire Yahoo channel devoted to online commercials.

But a new report by eMarketer, released July 16, suggests Web surfers ain't seen nothing yet. Video ad sales are expected to grow from an estimated $775 million this year to $3.1 billion in 2010 and then to $4.3 billion in 2011. That's up from a November projection in which eMarketer estimated 2010's video ad sales at less than $3 billion (see BusinessWeek.com, 11/7/06, "Up Next: Online Video Ad Boom?").

Though the numbers sound large, the expected activity over the next four years suggests that advertisers will be merely experimenting with the medium. Even at $4.3 billion, spending on video ads would account for just $1 of every $10 of Internet advertising.
Much More to Come

It's after 2011 that the floodgates will really open, says eMarketer senior analyst David Hallerman. By then, the distinction between television and Web video will be so blurred that advertisers will begin directing more of their marketing budgets to the online version. "All you have to do is take a few percentages off of a TV advertiser's typical budget and that is going to be a large amount of money," says Hallerman. Television advertising is expected to top $46.3 billion in 2011, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The lines are already blurring. Sony plans to transform its online video site Grouper into a farm team, of sorts, for professional media talent. The decision marks a move away from the riskier user-generated content that advertisers have been reluctant to embrace, and toward making online video more television-quality, and presumably more advertiser-friendly.

By 2011, online commercials will likely appear in multiple forms beyond today's pre-roll ads, which users must sit through before watching a video clip. For example, some interactive banners will play an ad whenever a user clicks it or rolls the cursor over it. And graphics along the bottom or side of a video clip will encourage users to watch a commercial.

Hallerman also expects that more online video ads will offer rewards in exchange for the user's time. Potential payoffs may include free content, games, coupons, or ways for users to personalize commercials. Ads that don't offer such compensation will have to be sufficiently entertaining so that users aren't turned off. A study by Burst Media found that 77% of users find video ads intrusive.
New Formats in the Offing

Companies are already experimenting with the new video ad formats. Yahoo, for example, is working with animated window-shade ads that a user can pull down over a video. It is also testing graphical ads that appear during a video in the same way that TV networks now show ads at the bottom of the screen—say, to promote a new sitcom—while another program is being aired. "Ads will change to be less obtrusive to the user," says Mike Folgner, general manager of Yahoo! Video and former CEO of Jumpcut, which Yahoo acquired in September (see BusinessWeek.com, 10/2/06, "Yahoo's Strategy: Growth by Acquisition"). Folgner also sees advertisers integrating more user-generated video in ad campaigns. Already, PepsiCo's (PEP) Doritos and other brands have held contests with Yahoo encouraging users to create videos about their products.

VideoEgg,a startup that distributes video ads in its own player across social networks, has been serving overlaid graphic ads with its video content. The company is working with close to 100 advertisers, including Rockstar Games and General Motors (GM), says Troy Young, VideoEgg's chief marketing officer. Young says new formats are necessary to keep from annoying audiences. "Pre-roll is a really challenging advertising execution in terms of meeting the needs of the community. You don't want to start off alienating someone," says Young. "We are trying to bring a variety of ad types to the market."
Making the Medium More Accessible

The new forms of online video advertising are only partly responsible for marketer interest in the medium. The other culprit is cost. Internet video is relatively cheap compared to the millions it can cost to produce a regular TV commercial and secure a 30-second network slot.

TurnHere, a startup that produces Internet videos for businesses ranging from the corner bistro to global hotel chains, can produce an online commercial for as little as $500, says Bradley Inman, TurnHere's founder and CEO. Producers of conventional TV commercials "spend more on the catering trucks than we do on the video," says Inman.

The company has 2,000 independent filmmakers around the world available to shoot films for local businesses. Many of TurnHere's commercials take the form of short documentaries about each business. Think of the concierge at a hotel showing users around the grounds. The ads can be featured on a company's Web page or on local search sites such as IAC/InterActive Corp.'s (IACI) Citysearch.com.

Internet advertising leader Google (GOOG) is also trying to make the medium more accessible. In May, it began distributing click-to-play commercials through its AdSense network, a group of Web sites that post ads in exchange for a slice of the revenue (see BusinessWeek.com, 5/24/07, "Google's In-Video Ad Experiment").

No doubt online video advertising still has a way to go before every business has an Internet commercial. But users should be prepared for the Web to look a lot more like TV.
