Johnnie Walker Keep Walking

Update: BBH or Johnnie Walker are idiots. This is a brilliant film, but they’ve put a copyright claim in and pulled the YouTube versions without providing alternatives. There are a LOT of blogs that have embedded this. Idiots.

Nice little video from The Viral Factory to support the Samsung Jet, funny idea which really demonstrate a key benefit of the phone, its camera speed. I like it when there’s such a clear link as it’s not always found when creating this distributed content.

T-Mobile Sing-a-long

Here’s what T-Mobile were up to on Thursday, a sing-a-long. The ad is the crowd singing Hey Jude, with some glimpses of Pink, but she’s not the focus, the crowd is. The first video is the full 4 minutes of the song, the second is a recording of the 2 minute ad that appeared [...]

Videos 27 Apr 09

YouTube is still full of Britain’s Got Talent and the odd bit of Miss California. But highest rated product video is this ‘flash mob’ from Trident, with 100 Single Ladies dancing to Beyonce’s Single Ladies. Yawn. Another ‘flash-mob’, made up of the most un-casual group of people hanging around Piccadilly circus with what looks like [...]
