administrator$$ — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 18:46:46 +0000

Way back in November of 2010, Google announced a new partnership with five major companies that would be adding Google Goggles enabled content to advertisements. As brilliant as the idea was, the concept never really seemed to take off. Sure, you could find a Google Goggles enabled ad tucked inside a magazine every now and then, but Google's interactive...

Video: Rovio runs with video ads for Angry Birds

John Walton — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 00:58:53 +0000

Few mobile software titles see the success that Rovio's Angry Birds has seen, and the ad-supported free version for Android has seen over 7 million downloads already. With in-app purchase power called Bad Piggy Bank on the way, Rovio should be raking in the dough. If virtual must-have accessories don't do the trick for you (pig scarves?), perhaps an ad-free...

Get tub-side with Motorola

Taking a page out of T-Mobile's book (see: Catherine Zeta-Jones), Motorola has started a new ad campaign using Megan Fox as their MOTOBLUR spokesperson. Can anyone out there think of a better way to start the campaign than to put Ms. Fox in a bathtub sending out pictures via BLUR? No? Then we are on the same page. The Superbowl ad most of you have seen... Read more

2009 Android Advertising

administrator$$ — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 04:13:36 +0000

2009 was a great year in advertising for the mobile industry. We saw everything from The Island of Misfit toys, a very creepy webOS multitasking blonde, Catherine Zeta Jones, and miracle banana diets on The Now Network to “an app for that”, a “map for that”, and more of Charles Barkley's Fave 5 (R.I.P.). Those are just some of the popular mobile... Read more
