I like these holiday inspired TV spots from Garmin. They’re catchy, fun, and deliver the low down on some of the GPS’s cool features. I was especially impressed to learn that all this work came from just one man- Brian Tierney. Brian was let go from Fallon, Garmin’s old agency of record. Since 2007, Brian has kept on doing work for the brand and runs a “one man shop” in which he acts as art director, copywriter and account manager. It’s good to see brands sticking with talent when it’s a good fit.

This Burger King website, which uses augmented reality to make the site interactive. is creative and fun. This is exactly the sort of thing that defines original. It’s also cool because I learn how to actually do these things through my New Media classes at UGA.

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:22:56 -0400

I don’t care for Verizon’s latest round of ads including their “There’s a Map for That” and “iDon’t” commercials. Verizon cannot compete with the iPhone because the iPhone is a phone and they are a carrier. Besides that, the iPhone is a novel product and is far superior to anything else on the market.

While the Android OS is nice, thus far all Android equipped phones are far inferior to Apple’s product. I have T-Mobile’s G1 and while it is nifty, its hardware does not match up to the iPhones. It is slower, it freezes and breaks down, it is clunky and unsexy, the screen is smaller, it maxes out at 2gb flash memory, and it doesn’t have a direct 3mm jack for earbuds.

Dear Verizon, you cannot compete with the iPhone and the iPhone’s consumers will not abandon AT&T for a Blackberry or Android phone. Instead focus on other segments of consumers such as kids, seniors, hispanics, and business users.

BudLight w/ Lime wants everyone to try it in the can. Double entendres are always funny and the one in this viral video does not disappoint. I love when creative is both informative and entertaining.

I love celebrity spokespersons. It turns epic when the promotion is for a software program and the celebrity is Kimbo Slice.

Stephen Colbert Schools Black Eyed Peas on Missed “Advertunities”. Funny stuff, but it does make me wonder how long it will be until we see multiple product placements in music videos. And it begs the question if the space would generate enough demand anymore in the days where shows like MTV’s TRL have been discontinued?

I love this viral video series by DropTheWeapons.org. As a kid, some of my favorite books were the pick-your-own-ending Goosebumps series. This unique youtube series by MCBD is excellent because it allows for a lot of viewer interaction and control. And it’s interesting enough to make the audience want to spend more time with the message.

This Ad from LG has me thinking iPhone all the way through. I don’t even recall what phone LG does have. This commercial does nothing to differentiate itself from Apple it just reiterates the features that all smartphones have. Boring.
