HTC_One_Commercial_Blinkfeed

HTC, always coming up with clever ways to market their product, released two new commercials for the HTC One today. Unlike previous commercials, these put the BlinkFeed feature of HTC’s newest flagship device front and center. For those who don’t know, BlinkFeed (introduced in Sense 5) is integrated into the One’s homescreen and combines various social media services and news sites into one customizable, image-centric feed. The idea is that by utilizing BlinkFeed, users don’t have to “dig like gophers” to find status updates and news articles. Hit the break both commercials.

OK, so the Samsung Galaxy S 4 smartphone is finally available in stores now and as part of its massive marketing blitz, the Korean giant has started the next phase of its “Next Big Thing Is Here” advertising campaign— naturally showing off just a little of what the impressive smartphone can do and the iPhone 5 well… can’t do.  Taking place at a graduation pool party, a few of the party goers take the opportunity to impress others by showcasing things like the various photography modes, Air View and Air Gestures when your hands are full or messy from eating savory ribs, NFC S Beam to share photos with friends in an instant, and using the smartphone as a TV remote. Of course showing off that the phone is indestructible is not part of the ad, but hey— one step at a time, right?

Google’s recently stepped up their advertising game to try to draw some attention to their Nexus lineup, and the latest really hits home. The small story focuses on a couple trying to decide how to handle having their first child, and it goes through the beginning expecting stages all the way through the couple trying to decide on a name. The video of course showcases the cool things the Nexus 10 can do in a relateable way, like multi-user support for both parents’ schedule, and Google Now for making that tough naming decision.

It’s definitely a memorable commercial that’s bound to drum up a bit of interest for the 10-inch tab. Hopefully we’ll see a few more showcasing the other features Google stuffed into their devices. Hit the break below to check out the commercial for yourself. » Read the rest

Samsung has been working hard lately to release some clever commercials detailing their new products’ features, and today its Samsung’s new Galaxy Camera‘s turn to be in the limelight. The commercial was uploaded to Samsung’s Youtube page this morning and stars famous actor James Franco. In it, Mr Franco is cruising around a party and bumps into various scenarios where his Galaxy Camera’s features come in extremely handy.

Samsung has certainly stepped up its advertising budget in the past few years and is ramping things up for the holidays as we’ve already seen. To add to their holiday repertoire, Samsung has redone their humorous, yet slightly suggestive, S-Beam commercial with a cheery Christmas theme. Instead of being sent off by wife and children, Santa Claus S-Beams some videos from his hard-working elves and Mrs. Claus. Mrs. Claus has the traditional Galaxy S III, but Santa is rocking the brand new Galaxy Note II. Of course, the video he gets from Mrs. Claus comes with a dirty look and the warning “Don’t watch it on the sleigh.” Thanks for tainting my childhood memories of Christmas, Samsung.

I guess if you’re Santa no one is going to check to see if you’ve been naughty or nice. But Mrs. Claus might give you a hand toward the naughty. At least that’s what we’re led to believe by the new Samsung commercial which, once again, reminds us of what S Beam is capable of. We’ve seen videos showcasing the Note II but this time Sami promotes S Beam, a feature available on both the Galaxy Note II and Galaxy SIII (Android Beam is also on Jelly Bean devices with NFC).

Study Shows Google’s Nexus 7 Commercial More Effective Than Apple’s Genius Ads

We showed you Google’s Nexus 7: Camping commercial where a father and son are enjoying the Nexus 7 in all sorts of ways during a camping “trip”. It’s a fun spot that showcases some of the things the tablet can do. In contrast, Apple has released a series of commercials featuring an “Apple Genius” helping many people figure out their Macs during a crisis. The message, at least to me, seems like it goes against the ease-of-use mantra Apple has been pushing for years.

Ace Metrix, an analytics company specializing in advertising, has reported that Google’s commercial has scored better than Apple’s ads in their study. Measured by their “effectiveness scale” the Nexus 7 ad scored 662 out of 950 points, whereas only one of Apple’s ads scored above the upper half of the scale.

Ace Metrix VP Jonathan Symonds said of Google’s ad, ”Google has taken their strong emotional appeal and married that with strong product demonstration.”

Hit the break to watch all the ads from both companies.
