Look out for bannerads on your mobiles as Verizon take the the initative and place banners on on news, weather, sports and other websites that users visit via their Verizon mobile phones.
Bannerblog will be takling a brweak from Dec 22 - Jan 3. There will still be some updates (to get through the backlog of entries we have received) but don't expect regular updates.
We hope you all have a great holiday season and what ever you are celebrating, make sure you shoot a video of it and pop it on Youtube.
No use getting totally drunk and throwing up on a slippery slide if there's no one there to video tape it.
I'll be posting all the agency Xmas ecards in the enxt few days.
I like is the little characters in the design frames. Sadly that's the limit to their involvement.
I hate to be negative but the whole thing is registering pretty high on my "Lame-O-Meter".
I like that Youtube are open to different promotions but this just seems a waste? (read: shit)
Maybe i'm just an Ebenezer Scrooge.
What really freaked me out was this image of the Coca-Cola polar bear. WTF!
Foster has been relaunched in the USA and they have done it entirely online. You can read the credit list and more info here on Campaign Brief's blog.
There are currently 3 videos on youtube with, by the looks of the website, another 18 or so to come. The website Crackopenafriendly.com is a bit of the let down. Or if you are Australian it's a bit of an embarrassment. Crikey mate! this site's as smelly as a dead dingo's donger.
We've reached a milestone today with our 1000th comment being posted on Bannerblog. Admittedly it was 1 of 4 comments posted by the same person, for a banner I assume they had a part in but it doesn't matter.. we broke 1000!!
In reality we've actually had over 9,000 comments posted but the other 8,000 are spam.
I'm happy that the majority of people who post comments do not post anonymously, and the majority is not overly negative. We do have the odd commenter who likes to stir the pot "read: posting that everything is shit" but this just adds to the fun. At least we have a friendlier community than the one on the Campaign Brief blog
There's a great selection of work in there, and this is a good chance to look at it all, take a deep breath and say - "I can do better than that" - then get to it.
It's a great time for digital, people are looking, the budgets and the standards are getting higher and richer than ever.
This is a viral to raise awareness of Bluetongue Brewery's support of the Sea Shepard Society and their quest to rid the Southern Ocean of Japanese Whaling fleets.
Japan continues to hunt hundreds of whales each year in our backyard, the Southern Ocean, on the pretext of scientific research. Bluetongue Brewery wants Australians to be aware of who owns their beer company, and what the owners of those brewers really represent and stand for. Ever wondered who owns the piss you drink? check out the list here
