http://youtube.com/watch?v=OZwdpXgPbKc?rel=0 Treyarch and Activision have gone to some extreme lengths in terms of marketing their games. When they were promoting the most recent Call of Duty game, Black Ops 2, the company went out and secured Robert Downey Jr. and various online celebrities.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=uGOU8X2JZbc?rel=0 Cristiano Ronaldo runs pretty fast. In the past, we've seen him race against a Bugatti as well as sprint 96 meters in just 10 seconds in a game for Real Madrid. Nike has elected to demonstrate what it's like when you're on the pitch or when you're on the sidelines when Ronaldo comes flying […]

Geico is known for using animals to promote its product – that is nothing new. The cute little Gecko with a British/Aussie accent can be somewhat endearing. I can think of a couple commercials, at least, that feature him in an interesting way. But lately…lately they've turned to a pig. I don't get it, like […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tKTO9wgrRsU?rel=0 Boy, advertising sure was a bit wacky 30-40 years ago, wasn't it? What's that? This McDonald's ad was just loaded to the company's YouTube page on January 15th, 2013? Well, that makes things a bit more interesting. McDonald's is going back to the past with some advertising straight out of a different decade. Complete […]

Apparently, The Rock (or Dwayne Johnson) is going to appear in a "Got Milk?" commercial that will air on Super Bowl Sunday. The actor/wrestler posted the picture below to his Facebook account, with the caption "The most dangerous Super Bowl commercial of all time." So far, details on this ad have been kept quiet. All […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= uIhGsXCv2js[/youtube] Ahhh New Years – when everyone vows to drop 40 pounds or however much it will take to get back to their high school weight, only to say "screw it" two weeks in because they'd rather lie on their couch when it's 13-degrees outside than go to the gym. Anyway, this Tropicana ad […]

What happens when Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are together out on the driving range? No cup is safe. http://youtube.com/watch?v=2NCDYjHtEcU?rel=0 Welcome back to fun advertisements, Tiger Woods. Tiger easily has the best line of the ad, asking McIlroy if that's "his real hair" shortly after McIlroy insults Tiger on his age. We even see Woods resort back […]

QR codes were supposed to revolutionize the way we consume information through our smart phones. They were supposed to be a quick and easy way to connect the user/reader with whatever form of media they were looking at. For a variety of reasons, QR codes never really took off. Most QR codes appeared to be […]

In the Outback Bowl on New Years Day, South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney obliterated Michigan running back Vincent Smith on a tackle, forcing Smith to fumble the ball and sending his helmet flying about 10 yards down the field. It was one of the best hits of the football season, and has turned Clowney […]

Coca-Cola has a new vending machine that's simply called the "Worldwide Machine". The difference between the Worldwide Machine compared to your standard vending machine is the fact the Worldwide Machine has the ability to accept most currencies. The ad above mentions that the machine will be placed at International airports, using the slogan "No matter […]

FreeCreditScore has a new feature on their site where you can see what will happen to your credit score under various hypothetical scenarios. It's a cool feature, one that has been in similar formats on other credit sites such as Credit Karma. How does FreeCreditScore promote their latest feature? Guacamole. Lots of guacamole. http://youtube.com/watch?v=gfq2tnKBJLU?rel=0 Interesting. […]

Poor Marshall Faulk. No one told him that retirement life consists of spending time in the bunker while Arnold Palmer talks trash on your golf game. Few insults are better than the one Palmer dishes out at the end of the ad where he offers to get Faulk an Arnold Palmer. We assume that sort […]

In November we published a preview of the ads you could expect to see during the 2013 Super Bowl. As we've crept closer to the big game, additional information on the commercials has been released/leaked. Want to maintain the suspense and surprise? Read no further. What follows is a rather detailed look at what's to […]
