Did Nike really go out and make an ad out of this?
The comment from howling fantods at Metafilter reads: it was only a matter of time. i saw the ad this morning. its essentially the raw footage with the following white text on black screen interspersed:
"We gave you a wedge that gives you more feel"
"We gave you a ball with better control"
and closing with:
"And you couldn't even line up the logo"
(i'm paraphrasing here, but that's the gist of it)
Did Nike really make an ad out of that footage? Another twist is the web page http://www.howdiditgoin.com/ where lots of 'fun' films are available for download, each reprsenting a theory on why the ball finally fell into the hole. The domain HOWDIDITGOIN.COM is owned by Domains by Proxy, Inc. which is another way of saying it's clearly a viral campaign out of the headquarters of w+k.
The sign-execution of the Conservatives one wasn't half-bad. I liked that, I dug the cheeky "clean me" in the hospital. Couldn't read all of them tho, like the road-signs for example, as shoddy windows media and my computer never really did get along. Dang.
hahahaha, over at Snarkhunting GaryVision suggests that they got the name from this intersection near the GAP headquarters. I think Gary is right.
Hear hear.
I don't understand this fear of fragmentation. I long for the day when I don't get stupid media in my briefs such as "Target: Sk8-kids Media: Double Page Spread in Conservative newspaper". I've seriously gotten briefs that read like that. I spent lots of time figuring out where the target was so I could reach them there as part of the creative process, media-buy should be part of it, and media buyer should be a creative job. Now, there's less wheelin' and dealin' for discount prices when bulk-buying but nobody wanted those four o'clock in the morning cable-channel spot-slots anyway. Media is not a bulk commodity, for great campaigns it never was, perhaps this 'fragmentation' will finally make people realize this. Media buying shouldn't be willy nilly, but well thought out as part of the entire creative strategy.
