Orange Internet Words | The Power of A Word

The new Orange Internet commercial ad reminds us of the power of words and how one simple word can have two meanings. Orange is introducing its new generic Internet campaign following "livebox, allons plus loin ensemble". The campaign is based on a simple idea, which is expressed in a powerful and light hearted way: one single word can be used to cover a number of situations, from everyday scenarios to highly emotional, intense moments. The way in which words can have several meanings in life has led us to reconsider what we mean by the term "Internet". And to understand that there is Internet, and there is Internet par Orange. The "les mots" campaign uses the idea that with Orange "there is Internet and Internet", along with evidence that supports this position across all media and on several aspects of Orange Internet.

Good News Windows 7 Commercial

The star of the new Windows 7 commercial is Kylie, who seems to have become Microsoft's poster child for Windows. She first appeared in a Windows commercial earlier this year, plugging the Windows Live Photo Gallery, now Kylie takes all the happy words about Windows 7 and makes them happier in her very own slide show.Windows 7 spot by ad agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky titled "Good News," is hoping to gain third-party credibility with positive reviews by outlets such as CNET, Gizmodo, Maximum PC and the Seattle Times.
Windows 7 much like Windows Vista will do nothing for me but the commercial is great, thanks to little Kylie, the reviews are meaningless Kylie does all the work in this commercial.

Apple Get A Mac Mac VS PC "Bean Counter" Commercial

New Mac VS PC "Bean Counter" commercial.

Apple creates another funny commercial in the Mac VS PC advertising saga. The newest commercial release titled "Bean Counter" takes a good shot at Vista. Our favorite PC is sitting back adding more money to be spent on Vista advertising and very little to fixing all the problems with Vista. Of course, with the suggestion by Mac, PC decides to spend all the money on advertising and leave Vista just the way it is. It is a funny commercial.

Sony Bravia Domino City Commercial

Sony Bravia Domino City Commercial, another beautiful commercial epic from Sony. The spot was shot entirely on location in India, and the Sony dominoes runs to the Taj Mahal in Agra. The music is beautiful, anyone know the artist.


Sonal Dabral, of Bates141, Singapore, explains the idea behind the Sony Domino's commercial:
“In this commercial we introduce the large dominoes into the setting with an intriguing chemistry of hyper-real dominoes set against the exotic naturalism of the location. The vibrancy and accuracy of the new BRAVIA is perfectly illustrated by the colorful dominoes. These dominoes are the full gambit – the full spectrum of colour, seen in among the hennas and browns and ivories of this earthy place. The environment offered a great canvas for us to reinforce the spectrum of color for BRAVIA, set against the primarily sepia, monochromatic locations.”
