2010 Super Bowl Ads

Although this year's commercial spots were listed for $2.6 million for a spot. Seems like the quality of spots were slim and a resounding theme that resemblemed "manly". Here is a compilation of my top 5 super bowl ads.

Budweiser: Bridges


Doritos: Snack Attack Samurai


Google: Parisian Love


E*Trade: Baby Girlfriend


Bridgestone: Whale of a Tale


And if you just so happen to want to get a little more out of the Super Bowl ads. Ad Age has EVERY spot for you.

Do You Bing?

Being that I work for Bing Design, I would hope it doesn't surprise you that I would happen to post an ad for Bing, the new decision engine by Microsoft. JWT does a good job stick to their tagline of creating ideas people want to spend time with.



Of course when I went to check out Bing I did Google it first. Bing does have several differentiators to the search capabilities, compared to Google, but honestly I feel that the chaotic state of digital information overload will still haunt people who use the search functionality.

I was on the edge of my seat waiting to hear just what it sounded like to 'bing'.

Inside a Google Video

This interesting outdoor campaign for Google Video Germany used a billboard imitating a real-life video player capturing the simple things in life. The tagline "Any Film You Can Imagine", is a simple message that intice people to search for videos and to upload their own videos.

The billboard has a google search bar at the top with a search phrase with the billboard placed somewhere in Germany where people might be doing that of which is in the search criteria and the bar below shows what looks like a video streaming.



It's not very clear if the campaign was launched before or after the YouTube, but the fact that the video embedded above is from YouTube tells a lot about Google Video's success. The campaign makes the point that online video presents life in all it randomness and that is what makes it a success with the crowds.
