If you haven’t guessed it already they’re selling an oven. The tag-line for the ad is “The biggest oven ever”. I love the ad campaign but I shutter at the idea of putting a killer whale or hippo in the oven… ewww!

You have to feel for the little fly here but wow what an amazing idea, talk about getting the attention of people this is one of the best marketing ideas I’ve ever seen. It’s a little gross with those big ol’ flies buzzing around but if you’re an advertiser… this idea is gold!
The agency Jung von Matt / Neckar first in the world to use the flies as carriers of advertising.
Publisher Eichborn looked for an original way to draw attention to the stand at the publishing house of the famous Frankfurt Book Fair.
Each fly was attached a string and a thread, a mini-banner. Weight of a paper mini-banner was designed so that a fly could fly with it, but low and for short distances, constantly landing on the visitors.

Once again, like a used care salesman, Microsoft says “Trust me.” When it comes to Windows, Microsoft’s promises never end and they never get realized, either.

This ad isn’t really anything special but the watch/phone is pretty cool. I haven’t seen anything like this before as usual I’m sure this version is extremely watered down and the real cool version will be out in a year or so after they’ve milked this one for all it’s worth.
