Well, here is one sure hit. At least as of this writing, July 8, the tip calculator Tiptitude is carrying iAds for the Nissan Leaf and Dove for Men. The Nissan iAd is viewable in an online video demo. It opens with a futuristic video that makes good use of the iPhone frame in portrait mode. Compelling, pin-sharp views of the far future land us back to the invention of the Leaf. We interact with a spinning car to enter what is essentially a lush micro-site that allows for a lot of tapping to gather car details. It has branding elements, informational elements, lead-gen pieces, etc. It is fine, but not much more than we have already seen from branded apps.

This new game utilizes the Massive ad platform for Xbox, but the game sucks. The relevant part for advertisers is that the article calls out the in-game ads in particular as diminishing the quality of the gaming experience. The futuristic setting of the game does not mesh well with the in-game ads. As an agency, we should think of ways to complement, not disturb, the gaming experience when launching such a campaign.
