I know these topics usually cause all sorts of debate, but hold that for just a moment, and enjoy this smart little “mock” iAd for VGT (an association combating animal factories in Austria) in an iPad magazine called Datums.

Here is AXE’s first iAd, launched as part of their latest campaign (see below, they are the European version of Lynx). On first impression it’s not nearly as in depth and engaging as some of the previous iAds I’ve posted, it’s essentially just serving as a branded content piece. The app lets you engage with the famous AXE angels [...]

I’m yet to see many good rich media (in app) iPhone ads, so this feels like a great execution in a very relevant space on the Variety.com iPhone App in the lead up to the launch of True Blood Season 3. When the ad appears, any touch to the screen leaves a bloody print. The ad gives [...]
