GEICO Insurance: The Unskippable Pre-Roll Ad
Getting creative with Pre-Roll ads has never been more important, and we are starting to see agencies and brands stepping up to the plate with custom pieces designed to leverage or play on the pre-roll framework. I love these from GEICO, Unskippable Pre-Roll Ads. Little bit of fun too.
Continue reading...Honda and Youtube do interactive video right
3. November 2014
While ‘interactive video’ is an idea that we’ve seen before, this recent campaign from Honda is exceptionally executed. What’s makes it so impressive is its shocking simplicity and how ultimately the interactivity is so vital in making the experience special. These two stories wouldn’t be nearly as interesting without the interactivity, which isn’t superfluous like [...]
Continue reading...IKEA: Multi-View Interactive Kitchen Stories
9. April 2012
I love this piece from IKEA in Russia. It’s not easy to create new, interesting ways to allow users to explore kitchens and the various accessories, but if anyone can do it, it’s IKEA, who’ve got a rich history in doing so. And again, they’ve created a new way for users to experience their kitchen [...]

19. March 2012
Welcome to Google Play, you can be forgiven for thinking this is just iTunes for Android, because you’d be right, it is. But Google does take it a little further I guess, as the Google Play platform is ready to connect with their smart TV platform, which will give them a slight edge, if you [...]

Via AdsMitchell. So what makes [...]

26. December 2011
This is another beautiful ad from Google. This time, it’s from Google India extending the “The Web is What You Make of It” campaign with a spot about Tanjore, an ancient Indian art form that seems to be fading away from the modern every day world. The ad tells the story of a Tanjore artist [...]
Continue reading...Desperados Beer YouTube Takeover
11. April 2011
Here is one of the best YouTube takeovers I’ve seen in a while, and potentially the first one to integrate the Facebook Connect functionality as part of the experience. (happy to be corrected here!) The YouTube campaign for beer brand Desperados is different to most, by letting you interact with the story as it unfolds [...]

5. October 2010
Sorry! I’m a few days late on this, but if you’ve not already seen it, then check out the worlds first YouTube store (I think…) called the YouTique by French Connection with agency Poke, London. It’s a very clever way of taking the current trend around video based fashion tips and stylists, then working to seamlessly [...]

21. June 2010
Firstly, my sincere apologies, never would I have thought that Miley Cyrus would grace a Digital Buzz page, and let me predict it will probably be the first and last time! However, I’ve good reason to post this YouTube video, lately, I’ve started to notice all kinds of interesting commercial applications of YouTube Annotations, and this [...]
Continue reading...The Making of the Google Chrome Speed Tests
6. May 2010
Just how fast is Google Chrome? In Sunspider benchmark tests it scored.. blah, blah, blah. Whatever. Benchmarking test scores used to measure browser performance don’t mean anything to anyone except for the most hardcore browser geeks, so Google came up with another way to show the speed of the latest beta version of Chrome; racing it [...]

19. January 2010
Google has taken unboxing (the process of documenting a products removal from its packaging) to the next level with the latest promotion for its “superphone” the Nexus One: “NINJA’S UNBOXING”. It’s pretty self explanatory/awesome. Check it out!

4. August 2009
YouTube campaigns are changing and so are the ways you can develop interactivity with video. Since the introduction of video hotlinks we’ve seen more and more “interactive” videos & story telling campaigns emerging.

Australia’s world cup soccer bid is heating up ahead of the official submissions in 2010.
