Not one soul knew it. And these guys are from the exact same TG that World space is targetting. <BR/><BR/>So what does this say? Should the brand be more explicit with it's message? Will it, in that case, be too in your face? Or should it be subtle like the way it was in LRM? We come back again to the creatively crafted message which walks the fine line balancing the two.<BR/><BR/>U remember any instance where branded content in a hindi movie led to wider brand acceptance or atleast, awareness?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32930145.post-1159011224892290882006-09-23T17:03:00.000+05:302006-09-23T17:03:00.000+05:30How about non-conventional or simply, user-interac...How about non-conventional or simply, user-interactive advertising?<BR/><BR/>Ad avoidance on the increase and finding way to continue with that old doggerel of engagement. <BR/><BR/>Well, if an idea's interesting enough it'll attract folks anyway.

The street racing game touts brands right from Audi, Lambi, Ferrari, Ford GT and so on (all excellent racing heritage)<BR/><BR/>My last phone (unfortunately robbed within office confines!..*sob sob*) had a rather lovely tennis game - the side stands had advertising by Ericsson. Brilliant thinking!<BR/><BR/>Check out ragnorok. They're trying out some pretty interesting stuff in the MMPG space. (massively multiplayer gaming...hate acronyms!)<BR/><BR/>What is more interesting to my own mind, is the element of "Flow" -gaming has proven effects on generating flow, and a more relaxed mind state. But..blame that on the book.<BR/><BR/>There are a few superb opportunities out there, but important to tie them into a Big Idea. Uh-oh..here we go again, on that one..<BR/><BR/>My own thought is that our thinking as advertising folks, is sometimes shallow. And that there is a Big Idea, but it neccesarily needs to reflect business context. Changing behaviour is an admirable goal - but it also needs sound ideas that work harder towards this end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32930145.post-1158941884070864602006-09-22T21:48:00.000+05:302006-09-22T21:48:00.000+05:30yes have seen the BMW films... awesome... am not r...yes have seen the BMW films... awesome... am not really the best person to give a POV on video game advertising! lets do some digging around this medium!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231391499541540584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32930145.post-1158939672308223262006-09-22T21:11:00.001+05:302006-09-22T21:11:00.001+05:30big idea is often a whole lot of words and gas! an...big idea is often a whole lot of words and gas! and almost always the elusive chase of the big idea is used by many creatives to buy time, protect turf and waste client's money!!<BR/>the really big ideas happen outside the advertising world.
