Another cool YouTube play from Volkswagen, with this ‘Hidden Frame’ being used to promote their new side assist feature. The Ad utilises a standard YouTube feature, which is the ‘frame view’ when you mouse over the timeline… This isn’t extremely innovative, but it’s a pretty smart and fun way to get the message across. What [...]

Here’s a really simple, but suitably smart digital media buy from Volkswagen, attempting to warn people not to stand for imitation Volkswagen parts. To do this, Volkswagen bought YouTube ads across popular videos that were imitations of great ones, and served them with an ad saying “Don’t accept Imitations. Prefer Original Parts” which would click [...]

Remember the TippExperience from just over a year ago? It was that very cool “Hunter Shoots A Bear” interactive YouTube campaign that finished up with something like 50 millions views.. Well, they are back, and this time it’s Hunter and Bear’s Birthday… Only this time, they are both in a world of trouble as a [...]

Mad Men is back and along with it comes a host of great content, including this weirdly wonderful 8-Bit YouTube “Choose Your Own Adventure” style Advergame that is getting some solid traction. It’s less than 5 days old and already over 300,000 people have played the game (or at least started it), plenty of the [...]

Here is a really interesting way to run a competition using YouTube videos. IKEA Belgium wanted to celebrate the Swedish mid-summer vibe, a time when sales are usually pretty flat for them in Belgium, so they created a series of product based videos called “Catch The Swedish Light”. The stop motion videos showcased the latest [...]

IKEA in the UK has launched an interactive social experience on YouTube. The above video is the ad to launch the overarching campaing around IKEA having everything to get you happy to bed, but the real fun is on their YouTube channel, where they’ve extended the idea with Facebook Connect. It starts with a room [...]

Here is a neat little idea for Caja de Ruidos, a leading music production company in Argentina, who’ve set about showing everyone how to create their own personal, interactive mixers for any video on YouTube, enabling people to create their own experiences in YouTube’s comments field. While most of us might know how to use [...]

After almost 8 years, Blink 182 have launched a new single, and with that, a very unique approach to re-engage their fan base, by trawling YouTube for every video uploaded that used their music without permission, then they set about cutting it into their very own music video, turning the tables on their fans, and [...]

And so it begins… Isaiah Mustafa VS Fabio himself in a real-time streaming Old Spice Internet Duel at 12pm Noon EST. Wooo! It was only a matter of time until the guys at W+K took the new-look Old Spice campaign to a whole new level, and that they will in just a few hours time, [...]

Here is a different kind of YouTube experience from Hugo Boss for the new fragrance “HUGO Just Different”. The YouTube experience is created around an interactive film called “KINO” that essentially has 3 variations that can be instantly engaged at any time. Playing on the idea of seeing things differently, users control the the film [...]

Here is a YouTube experience with a difference from the Royal New Zealand Airforce. It’s part advergame, part digital installation and part old school scale model all tied together via a live streaming, fly-wire (if that’s what you call it!?) webcam, controlled through the YouTube game. Basically, they’ve given users the ability to fly a [...]

The second generation of Intel’s new ‘i’ series processors are out, and to build some hype they have just launched a neat video on YouTube called “The Chase”. It’s a short action/adventure film that is shown through a variety of windows, animations, code, Facebook pages, websites, Google maps and games, among other things! It went live this week and [...]

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 [...]

I’m really starting to enjoy what brands and agencies are doing with their YouTube channels of late, and this new campaign out for the New Zealand Army (created by Saatchi & Saatchi NZ) is right on the money in terms of platform engagement and experience. The team created a Sharpshooter game that challenges you to “Get What [...]

I’m a few days late on this (was out of the Country!) but it’s worth a look if you haven’t yet seen it just yet. Called “A Hunter Shoots A Bear”, this interactive YouTube takeover campaign from Tipp-Ex has racked up over 2.5 million views on the initial start video and over 3.5 million channel [...]
