Bring the love back 
1. Emakina Blog : Blog Archive : Bring the love back. | May 16, 2007 at 7:12 pm
[…] A funny ad for Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions that could be an Emakina ad if we could afford such a shooting budget ๐ Please post your comments directly on their (WordPress powered) blog […]

Great ad, really. Now I wonder how “Mr Advertiser” will use digital technologies to win back his “Mrs Consumer” wife. I’d be happy to write a script but it may turn too hot for a Microsoft campaign. The movie would feature one of the only Apple unapproved iPod accessory. Guess which ?

It seems Geert finished his movie
I like it: touch้
Indeed, in my mind advertising is about listening to your consumers, offer the opportunities and basically understand them. Something…

Great video. I’ve got it up on L+E
Please put this on YouTube. Getting the source code from daily motion was too difficult. I had to get your code “the old fashioned way”.
Love it. Keep up the good work.

This is great! A powerful metaphor to humorously describe the looming advertising crisis. Great work.
6. Kris Van Hauwermeiren | May 16, 2007 at 8:17 pm
Really a great Ad, it captures the problem really well. A superb job.
7. Brandon | May 16, 2007 at 8:17 pm
Good concept, weak script.
8. johnjohn | May 16, 2007 at 8:32 pm
At least Microsoft has tried to do something. It’s neither fun, nor true, and quite arrogant – Microsoft like. Is this supposed to be viral ?
9. Mark | May 16, 2007 at 10:04 pm
Fantastic. It perfectly mirrors the invasion of our lives by marketing and advertising.

Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions’ movie finally released
And it looks great. The execution is cool (good job by the OpenHere team), the script is so damn real for many of the (mainly) above agencies that are still selling the same old shit since the 1800’s or so. The movie reminds me about Joseph Jaffe…
14. Tanguy De Kelver | May 16, 2007 at 11:03 pm
Great job Geert! But do you think it was necessary to write their roles on their chests? Looking forward to seeing the first mash-ups ๐
15. Geert | May 16, 2007 at 11:14 pm
Well Tanguy, I think we needed those titles on thier chest. Even with them I got comments that it wasn’t clear enough.

16. sean howard | May 17, 2007 at 12:01 am
Love the direction you are going. My one nagging question is what is Microsoft doing about this?
17. Geert | May 17, 2007 at 12:07 am
Excellent question Sean, the whole idea is to look at digital or online marketing as one of the answers (of course there is more than one). We first have to convince people to invest online before we can try to convince them to look at advertising within Messenger or at in-game advertising. Once we will have all the big spenders online, then we can start talking ๐

Good work. You forgot the “mistress” – the ad agency in this. The advertisers I know court ad agencies MORE than understanding the consumer.
Great job Geert. Very cool.

I see a role here for the agency: the waitress !
28. Geert | May 17, 2007 at 8:58 am
Hi Hans, we actually had another version of the movie where a waitress played “the potential consumer” that attracted the attention from the advertiser… but your suggestion could have worked as well ๐
29. Rolling Talks | May 17, 2007 at 9:20 am
I love it , I want more ๐ did not fall for the blue eyes obviously but for the ‘Hugh Grant’ style.
My thoughts to convince advertisers to invest online Geert and maybe the next idea for a following video would be this one:
(Sex & the city like) Customer is talking with her friends about Advertiser in a famous place where Advertiser had never been before (the blogosphere). He’s been dragged over there by friend MDAS of course, who else?? and stumbled upon Customer. He listens to what these beautiful sexy girls are saying about him and he’s more than confused because of what he’s hearing. He undertands he has to do something about it and turn to friend MDAS for advice ๐
More on my blog today, you inspired me ๐
30. Geert | May 17, 2007 at 9:22 am
Rolling Talks… you rock. I love the idea…if this project goes well and I get to do a series I’ll definetly try this idea. Thanks , really inspiring.

Very Nice. Send this out to every client in North America. Agency folks get this, but it’s hard for clients to get away with buying gross impressions as those big numbers sounds so good and effective, even if nobody is paying attention.

Great video, great (and important) message. But I’m having this disconnect knowing it’s coming from Microsoft . . .
And #37 has a good point, although I’m not sure it’s all that necessary. Advertisers do at least pretend to listen, sometimes . . .
45. Geert | May 17, 2007 at 8:48 pm
Hi TAE, you are not the first to say this…marketeers at Microsoft are going to have to work harder to change that ๐

“We first have to convince people to invest online before we can try to convince them to look at advertising within Messenger or at in-game advertising. Once we will have all the big spenders online, then we can start talking”
Nice…you are using the medium to subvert the medium? What a crock of bull, really. How is this any different than what advertisers are doing with ‘viral marketing’? How is this really leading towards a respect for the customer? It may be ‘clever’ and ‘funny’, but, like the woman implied, funny ain’t gonna cut it. Change yourselves, don’t just try to charm us into accepting advertising on, yet, another medium.
48. Chris Messina | May 17, 2007 at 11:30 pm
How much are you guys spending on his horseshit? Why don’t you just go home? No one wants to hear from you anymore, and we don’t appreciate you muscling in, yet again, on hallowed ground.

Well done. The Advertiser really hits that perfect note of schmooze and charm that almost makes you want to be somewhat sympathetic to him as well, but ultimately repulsed. It’s like he’s trying so hard to be human! ๐
51. rationalpsychic | May 18, 2007 at 3:29 am
It IS viral marketing. The only problem for Microsoft is that the message is bigger than they are and they can’t control it. It’s such an absolutely on-target satire of what they and every other large company does wrong that there’s no way they can effectively respond to the challenge they themselves have put out there.
Again, they show that they think their consumers are foolish, weak-willed and focused on winning contests to go to the Bahamas (geez, not even St. Kitts and St. Nevis?).
52. Matheus Neves | May 18, 2007 at 3:39 am

53. kelly | May 18, 2007 at 8:59 am
is this a dialogue?
54. Di | May 18, 2007 at 9:23 am
Great ad! I think this definitely represents what’s happening out in the marketplace and the reluctance of both marketers and agencies alike to listen to consumers and change their behaviour accordingly. We’ve spoken about the need to change for ages…just seems that some people are still living in the dark and “dictatorial” ages. Look forward to seeing the next one…

Microsoft as a relation therapist. Yesterday, Microsoft launched โThe Break-upโ, a viral movie to promote its โDigital Advertising Solutionsโ. Created by Openhere. A fun campaign. And so is the MS marketing guyโs blog. But yet, some second thoughts. http://www.mm.be/blog
60. Geert | May 18, 2007 at 12:26 pm
Hi Etienne, wanted to comment on the MM blog but couldn’t get in, i’ll do it here then. First of all I consider it a huge compliment to be compared to ads such as the Get a MAc ads or the 2 other movies you mentioned. And indeed, we’ll see if our movie has the staying power of those classics. One point that I look at differently is that I see us more as just a saleshouse. We have more and more formats, tools and services that allow advertisers to connect with consumers in a different way (and different as opposed to traditional media, I mean). Look at in-game advertising, personal expressions in Messenger, campaigns that have integrated Spaces beyond just bannering…and I could go on, of course. And actually that is the message that we want to get across… we can help reconnecting today’s consumer. If you don’t believe me, let’s schedule a meeting and I’ll try to convince you ๐ Remember: I’m a marketeer at hart and a sales person by trade.
61. Xenia | May 18, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Hi Geert!
You’re great and the commercial is really wonderful.
I write about your project at the russian site about advertizing – http://www.adme.ru . And unfortnately not all the russians know english rather well to understand all in film. And I’m afraid I can miss some words by listening.
Can your help me and send me the whole text of the commercial in English?
e-mail: xenia at adme.ru
Thank you so much and good luck!
62. Etienne Valencienne | May 18, 2007 at 2:14 pm
On line people (what’s in a name) tend to believe that only on line media allow us to “reconnect with the consumer in a different way”. Point is: you can do that with whatever medium, as long as you use it wisely. Branded entertainment (but not the way Electrabel/VT4 did it), clever real life experiences, sponsored magazines (ask Sanoma), etc. The technology behind isn’t key, the idea you put in it is.
A lot of sales houses are bragging about it (Var gaat ver! Scripta, break the rules! Studio Fred to name a few), but none has convinced me they can really make the difference.
63. Geert | May 18, 2007 at 2:29 pm
Hi Etienne, I agree that online media is only complementary and that the idea is key and not technology. I hope that in the end we can convince you!

97. Roger Rabbit | July 10, 2007 at 10:30 am
Well, okay – we all know this is true. But who has ever claimed that there is a way for brands to communicate with consumers other than on the generalised level? A personal relationship and the ‘general’ relationship that a brand has with its millions of consumers (the target audience) are two different things – which is why juxtoposing the two in this way is so funny. However, it doesn’t solve the problem save the obvious, which is to write copy / dialogue in a more human and less marketing tone of voice. I work as a creative in advertising in the UK and this is something that we try to persuade clients to do all of the time – but few are willing to try it as research has shown that in an info-saturated age consumers literally want a bullet-point list of info about a product or service. There are some brilliant ads out there that really resonate with people in a human way – anyone can write these type of ads but few advertisiers will pay for them.

Clever!
The only real way to have one-to-one conversations with customers and prospects is by having one-to-one conversations. You can’t fake it by personalizing the first names in a bulk email. Those who can enable those dialogs/relationships best will win.

It reminds me of what Seth Godin has been talking about in Meatball Sundae. Too many companies are trying to reach customers through old methods by identifying them as groups, not individuals. The smart marketers are using New Marketing techniques — blogging, niche marketing, etc. — to reach their populations, and are spanking the Old Marketers.

146. Carter F Smith | March 24, 2008 at 3:18 pm
So how can we get that message to the companies who keep pushing their products and services on us, without so much as a real follow up?
Perhaps we should just walk out on them and take our business elsewhere . . .
Is it that easy? Do you think they’ll get it? NO!!! Not without a united effort by the people formerly known as the audience . . . we touched on the need for new strategies in our post on marketing in The Relationship Economy. Remember the peanuts that brought Jericho back? Well, that campaign worked (though not for very long), but this one is different, and it won’t cost you money.
How ’bout this?
. . . go to as many company feedback sites as you can in the next 7 days.
Post something like this.
I (and a lot of people like me) have been trying to convey our sincere desire to have a real relationship with those who provide products and services for our consumption and enjoyment. The benefit of this relationship for you is that you get to know EXACTLY what we need, not only what you think we need, based on your research, focus groups, and late-night brainstorming with people who are so entrenched in the marketing model of the 20th Century that they wouldn’t know a real conversation if one bit them on the nose. We want you to know what we need, when we need it, and why . . .
If you really care about our relationship, please invest two minutes and three seconds in it, by watching this video – http://bringtheloveback.com/2007/05/16/mdas_europe/

Haha! That is extremely well done. The component of the commercial that I found most prevalent was that the “consumer” and “advertiser” are not hanging out in the same place anymore. It’s a growing challenge to break past the 4 stages of the AIDA model (awareness, interest & desire, and action) into the consumer mind.
153. Juan Mansfield | April 22, 2008 at 4:16 pm
