Tipp-Ex: My Favorite Digital Ads (Part 3 of 4)

For the past three days, I've been posting about my favorite ad campaigns of all time. In part 1, I wrote about my favorite print ad campaign. In part 2, I revealed my favorite TV ad. Today I've written about my favorite digital ads.

Part 3: My Favorite Digital Ads 
Tipp-Ex is the UK's version of Wite-Out. A couple of years ago, they launched a very popular digital video of a hunter shooting a bear. After that successful campaign, Tipp-Ex upped the ante and launched Tippexperience2.

Check out the video on the landing page in that second link, type in a new year at the end of the video, and then enjoy the magic. They created 46 different videos, representing 46 different time periods in history for this campaign. Have fun trying to stump it. It's fantastic.

I love this campaign because it's fun and engaging. You don't even think of it as an ad -- it's entertainment. It's a great way to leverage a digital platform that provides a limitless opportunity to create magical experiences. They couldn't run 46 different TV commercials, but they could create 46 awesome digital videos and tie them together in a great way.

While Old Spice has come out with some incredible digital work lately (Google it), Tipp-Ex gets my vote for favorite digital campaign to date. I can't wait to see what happens next in this space.

Porta Potties: Hilarious Product Names

I think the most entertaining product names in any one industry belong to the portable toilet industry. Porta potty names are hilarious! Here are eleven real portable toilet companies I found: The Honey Bucket Johnny on the Spot A Royal Flush Honey Do's Gotta Go Don John's Super Loo Pit Stop Pot-O-Gold Oui Oui (my favorite name) Floaters (slogan: "You Float 'm, We Tote 'm") See how much I love my readers? I researched porta potties for a long time to find these companies. You're welcome! Add This To Your To-Do List Am I right? Are porta potty names the most entertaining?

Only Old People Choose Butter Pecan Ice Cream

Image
Adapt or Die   Those who know me best often hear me proclaim my theory that only old people choose to eat butter pecan ice cream. Oh sure, some younger people enjoy its taste, but nobody under the age of 55 ever goes to the grocery store or Baskin Robins and buys butter pecan ice cream. The flavor is simply outdated. What does this mean for ice cream manufacturers? It means they should keep producing the flavor to satisfy current demand, but they had better create new flavors to adapt to changing tastes. That’s why they’ve created flavors like French silk and cookie dough — flavors that didn’t exist 15 years ago. In short, they adapt or die. Add This To Your To-Do List Have you taken a good look at your products or services lately? Are you still investing heavily in butter pecan ice cream and counting on it being your best seller for years to come? If so, you need to invest in innovation as quickly as possible. It could be as simple as offering new items on your menu, new servi

My TEDx Talk: Hey Marketers, Get Your Priorities Straight

Image
18 Minutes of Fame On April 12, 2013, I fulfilled a longtime goal: I gave a TEDx talk. I was honored to be one of six speakers at TEDx UofI Chicago. Everyone at the event was a pleasure to work with. It would be very difficult to add up all of the hours that went into preparing for my short, 18-minute talk. I think I practiced it enough to remember large parts of it for the rest of my life. I tried to bring my passion for the subject to the stage — along with a little humor and a little know-how. There's always room for improvement, but I think I did pretty well. I'd love to hear your thoughts. I must admit that I had so much fun doing the talk that I just may have to try and do another one someday. I guess we'll have to see if I have any more ideas worth spreading in the future. Add This To Your To-Do List Enjoy my talk! And let m e know what you th ought of it. There's never a lack of ideas.
