Don’t forget, watch the ad and get it on TV

April 19, 2011 | By Surur

Just a reminder to our readers to watch Brandon Foy’s user-created Windows Phone 7 ad a few times. Microsoft has offered to air the ad, which has been well received by the community, nationally if it reaches 200,000 views in a week.

By my count there is 2 days and 140,000 views left, so watch regularly and share widely.

Surur this is the wrong one.

That's the ad that needs 200K views to be put on TV. Can you correct the post?

Fixed, but that makes it even further to go, by 150,00.

True about what Json said, correct the article. Anyways, i like this one better. It's shorter. The new one is focused on to much games, and the emulator shows many sequences lagging, like in Office and some other apps. Why the best software company in the world cant see that i dont understand. Second i dont understand why Microsoft Advertise and Marketing team doesnt hire him? With more resources i'm sure he will be able to do a much better job than the regular ones.

I'm sure someone else will hire him, the ads really gives me a feeling of Samsung spirited ad, samsung hire him for your next Windows Phone 7 phones!

It's the other video, but anyway I think these ads are fun for youtube but they're really not TV material, as Ryssfemma pointed out there are a lot of sequences where WP7 seems to be lagging, and with more resources, the same guy could create an ad that looks more professional. Unless Microsoft cooperates with him to edit the actual ad, I don't think it should be aired.

agreed

Sequenses are ok as TV ad but 2 min is much to long. To much double and very fast shown information which will confuse the custumer. THe other spot was much better!

Im sorry but MS need to keep with the "What If" styled ads

I see 70k on one hand, 125k on another, that's 195k view for windows phone, the ad should totally be aired on TV.
