I’m in the Big Apple this week for Advertising Week covering the event for Microsoft Advertising.
Follow all our news and videos here Advertising Week 2010
And follow us on Twitter!
Seth Godin kicked off with an awesome presentation!
Our intro video below:
From the Windows Phone team:
“Go ahead and stare the user interface of the Windows Phone 7 deserves it. That’s the reaction we got at Mobile World Conference in Barcelona when we revealed this new holistic design system that brings together form and function based on key principles — informing every aspect of the phone. See what everyone is talking about by checking out this video.”
I’ve seen one.
I’ve even touched it.
I’m getting one.
Will you?
Re-posting this video seeing as I’m down in Singapore right now.
I’m en route to Hong Kong to see the Microsoft Advertising Asia team there and speak at SES Hong Kong.
I’ll be on the B2B ROI and Social Media panel with Eddie Choi at the helm.
Lots to come from this part of the world. I met a lot of agency and brand execs while I was in Cannes.
Check out these video interviews from our Microsoft Advertising YouTube Channel from the advertising festival in the South of France
Trying to keep Tiger Beer in business until Lee Odden and others get here 
Thought I’d start adding one of my fave photos every time I post some content from other blogs I have a hand in.
Today’s is a snap from a game drive at dawn in the Kruger National Park in South Africa last year. We were staying at the Arathusa Game Lodge on a holiday we’ll never forget.
Anyway…………….day dream over!

I’ve been a very bad person and not written for Media Week for a while so promise to get back on it next week after our long weekend in the Isle of Arran.
Beautiful video from our Microsoft Advertising team in Asia showcasing all the creative digital goodness they’ve been spreading around the net over the last few months.
I’m off down there soon to learn more about the teams and the region, so more on that soon.
Just written a post with all their online collateral on: Microsoft Advertising Asia Digital Showcase Video and Online Marketing Resources
The video is also on our Microsoft Advertising YouTube Channel
Let me know what you think!
Via the TED website, this quite long – 28 minute – presentation is a very entertaining look at how games are starting to become part and parcel of our digital lives.
Jesse is quite hilarious in his delivery, but the serious point is how these games have huge potential for marketers and brands.
Just posted on the Microsoft Advertising Blog about our digital advertising case studies which are all up on our ad site in Silverlight glory.
Includes insight from campaigns we’ve run for Pepsi, Sony, Sprint, Coca-Cola, Bing, Cadbury, P&G, Toyota, Kia, Nivea and loads more.
Pretty cool that you can pick and choose via different criteria.
The team say it’s set to grow as we get more and more advertisers to partner with us on talking about their campaigns in detail.
The man, the myth, the legend that is Brian “Gordon’s Alive!” Blessed has just become the voice of Tom Tom after a Facebook campaign where he garnered over 25,000 votes.
As a commenter on YT says, why hasn’t he been given a knighthood?
Did drama with his daughter Roz at university. Lovely family!
Just listen to his thank you to see why I’m so proud to be British!
