It’s just been announced in Miami that the IAB has recognised this ad format – The IAB Mobile Filmstrip – as one of its rising stars.

This short and sweet video show’s we’ve definitely moved on from the pop-up (people still mention those to me when I say I work in digital advertising) and are providing rich, immersive and engaging solutions for brands to show their wares to consumers in a way that adds value.

Well done to the team for this well deserved accolade!

This is a great a example of being agile in marketing. The #SmokedByWindowsPhone videos have been so successful, Ben Rudolph and team have turned them into ads. #Genius!

Check out the Microsoft Advertising Blog next week for my interview with the great man that we recorded last week!

He’ll talk about this challenge as well has role at Microsoft and other stuff.

What do you think of the Windows Phone ads?

Love this ad from BA in time for the run up to The Olympics. Makes me feel a bit home sick actually. That coupled with imagining little Maggie as that little girl…….sniff…..[reaches for tissues]!

Update: Check out their Facebook Page too. There’s a great competition going on there right now for free flights: http://www.facebook.com/britishairways

Now my wife Ashley reminded me that this blog’s four or five readers have not had some Maggie action recently, so I thought I’d rectify that with this videoette.

We’ve seen Maggie laugh for the first time, and bounce, we’ve even heard her sing, but nowhere in the same video have we seen her giggle and then jump about a bit, so this is a real treat…….I promise!

Are you sitting comfortably?

One minute and fifty-four seconds of yummy rich media goodness, showcasing the IAB Rising Stars and some fabulous executions on MSN including the Filmstrip, Pushdown, Billboard and Sidekick.

Great to see there’s more on the way too!

I love BIG & BOLD productions and we’ve nailed one with the Microsoft Advertising Story Video featuring (the very lovely) Felicia Day.

The campaign centres around the Microsoft Advertising Story Awards which is a competition we’re running to challenge brand advertisers, marketers and agencies.

More on the competition in Richard Dunmall’s post: Challenging Global Marketers and Agencies to be Storytellers and Win a trip to Cannes! 

Check out Felicia’s teaser for the advertising awards too!

Enjoy and more coming soon!

I love these videos the Cannes Lions chaps do. This one has Yukio Nakayama, Executive Creative Director at Dentsu giving 5 tips on winning one of the coveted awards.

Love the fact he says to keep the subtitles slow as many of the judges don’t actually have English as their first language.

Nicely edited and presented little clip too!

Now who’s going to Cannes this year?

Just goes to show how much work goes into setting up an experience like that! Bet it didn’t take so long to break down though.

The above was filmed and edited by my buddy Bryan Schaeffer, who has quite the fantastic show reel!

Links to videos here and here!

Enjoy!

With a little bit of help from mummy, Maggie knocks the high bit right out of the park!

Getting Maggie ready for bed the other day in Cambridge, she just started cracking up.

Not the last time she’ll be laughing “at” her father methinks! Let’s hope there’s a good measure of “with” smattered in with all those priceless giggles over years to come!
