“Live fast - - High speed Shopping diesel.com” So the agency that did these ads is Marcel Paris, I don’t know how I feel about the ads. I am really on the fence here, I think some are funny but don’t know if collectively they make sense. Is this suppose to be edgy? Does it deliver on the brand’s promise? Hmm I gotta think about this one a bit more.

Stickk to your promise or else!

January 18th, 2008 by nic

Can’t seem to stick to your new year’s resolution? Why not sign a personal contract? Stickk.com says it promotes healthier and happier living by helping people achieve their personal goals through the signing of Commitment Contracts. How it works is you place a financial wager on yourself. If you accomplish your goal (which you won’t), you get your money back (cool). If you don’t, your money goes to charity or to someone you’ve designated in advance. Sounds like a research paper to me (Zzzzzz), no disrepect to my own research department I think they’re fabulous!!!!!

The difference between branded entertainment and product integration

January 14th, 2008 by nic

As I am out and about town I hear a lot of people confusing the meaning of branded entertainment and product integration. I am going to easily break it down and give you an example.

Product integration is taking an established property (i.e., tv show, movie, etc) and inserting the brand on the set or in the story line. Think GM and the Transformers movie.

Branded entertainment pushes it a bit further, this is when an advertiser (brand) and a media company (network, studio, production company, etc.) form a partnership to co-produce content. Think BMW films, watch this clip it’s my favorite from this series.

Now I can care less about the Olympics, it just doesn’t excite me as much, but I do think this ad is cool.
