Does this ad work ?

by . Saijo on January 29, 2010

in News

I think this might be Japanese Korean ad for Windows Mobile ( I might be wrong ). Man its crazy, I hope I wont see them out here in Melbourne. What do you think ? will this work for you ? I think Microsoft is working hard with the ad campaigns coz this kind of stuff is quite popular out there.

What is with the dude at around 3:39 ???

I also ran across this today… I think the actions taking place around 3:39 are very similar to the US ad with the symbols under the conference table! as far as I know this ad was created by Windows phone Japan and thus is the Japan subsidiary's adaptation of the the U.S. ad.

your right though, these types of ads are very popular… although since its 4+ minutes long I'm not sure this will air on TV.

ahh yes .. who could forget the symbols under the table… lol

I think it was shown during the news. It might be a YouTube thing and not meant for TV

Am I the only one who thinks that this advertisement is stupid ?

Although “us in the west” may laugh and scoff at such an advert (and yes I do as well), we do have to keep it in context for the Japanese market! They absolutely LOVE their Hello Kitty and the like, so this advert, in my view, is “perfect” for their market. Not so much for ours ;-)

This advert is perfect for the audience this advert was targeting. Asians probably think our adverts are stupid :) and since 1/4 of the human population are Asian I think it's money well spent.

Check this one with Arnold Schwarzenegger, they love it :)

It's not Japanese. I think it's Korean.

It's Korean.

I agree! This ad is targeting specific consumers.
I will guess that this works…

@Raudi and TS : I wasn't sure thanks for letting me know about it.
