There have been few advertising campaigns that have grabbed as much attention online as the recent Old Spice ads but just how successful were they and did they help to increase sales. We have heard both sides of the story with many claiming they just wouldn’t buy the product but this video from the agency behind the ads sheds more light on the sales…
I have always loved the video ad campaign from Old Spice and was one of the 12 million viewers they had for the original advert on Youtube. As if the original advert was not good enough they have taken it to the next level with personalized adverts for internet celebrities like Kevin Rose and Perez Hilton as well as normal users that will make the ads get even bigger in the coming days and weeks. Pure genius…

I read a couple of really top posts recently about SEO (here and here) and it got me to thinking about it’s importance. The guys were talking about building something so remarkable that people would come and use it no matter what and that the cream would rise to the top. I love this idea and agree with it to a large extent but it just doesn’t work like that. Not everybody has the ability to build truly outstanding products or services.
