The first Nokia Windows Phone advertisement was not something that really sold the features built in to Windows Phone but give a glimpse of the live lites on the device but Nokia India has been putting up some great little ads that showcase some of the cool new features on Windows Phone. This ad shows off the advantages of pinning a live tile contact on the the home screen in a fun cool way ( or it could be seen as a way to keep tabs on someone , but I am going to go with the former scenario )
… I am taking about Advertising Windows Phone to the masses. The marketing efforts of Microsoft ( in Australia ) in regards to Windows Phone was well, not enough by any means there were hardly any TV ads .. there were a few in the beginning but then it just faded away. But Nokia has been quite busy marketing their Lumia series in Australia from interactive giant lumia 800s in the street , TV ads and even full page ads in Newspapers .. MX is a popular free newspaper in Melbourne , most commuters pick it up on their way back home and in Melbourne their readership is over to 300,000 and when you put an ad like this , it will get noticed .. look and learn Microsoft. ( excludes Ben Rudolph, that guy is a super star .. one of the few left since Brandon Watson left Microsoft )
Here are some Nokia lumia 900 ads for those involved in extreme sports like free running. To celebrate the launch of the new Nokia Lumia 900 at Mobile World Congress 2012, Nokia challenged free runner, Pip Andersen to try out the Lumia 900 in and around the city of Barcelona. They also invited BMXer, James Ivett to try out the Lumia 900 followed by skateboarder, Jed Cullen. The best part is the ads also shows some handy features and Apps on Windows Phone unlike the Microsoft Me Series which was more about the people using them than the Phones themselves.
Jace one of our games reviewer from BestWP7Games.com has put up a short Fan made ad for Windows Phone. It highlights the fact that we have a lot of the stuff people use integrated right in to the OS like Facebook, Twitter, Bing Vision, etc.
A couple of new Microsoft ads has popped up on youtube , they are from the new Family Series of ads by ad agency Cripin, Porter + Bogusky , The ads show how familes can interact with Windows PCs, Xbox, Kinect, and Windows Phones !! The ads are part of a new campaign to promote Windows, Xbox, and Windows Phone, and a new website at www.microsoft.com/family
And here are the video for the ads “Epic Share”, and “Dog.ppt”
Microsoft has been pushing Windows Phone 7 in any way they can, I am still upset they didn’t try to air an ad during Super Bowl, but they have been steadily pushing WP7 through various media and social channels, including various TV shows.
