Did Clos du Bois pay to get this PR or did it just happen... and would they want it?

Thanks to Craig Nichols for this.

Search this page

There seems to be a trend at the moment for brands to do search ads. Just thought it's interesting - especially as Absolut have done an interactive version.

Spot Stella's film references:

Happy searching.

LX TV for Scotch

LX TV is an online lifestyle TV channel specialising in food, drink, entertainment and fashion.



This screen grab below is from a video they host guiding viewers through the world of Scotch. To watch the video click here.



More interesting still is this video for Absolut Ruby Red.



It is the first installment in a three part series linking the spirtit with cocktails, cool bars and exciting social occassions. Moreover it's supported by an ad on the right of the screen linking to Absolut's Ruby Red website. This is a great example of how to incorporate video material online whilst integrating it into the rest of the brand campaign.

Absolut Lomography







To enter the Absolut Lomo contest or to see what it's all about click here.

It all sounds a bit like Hype to me:

"Apart from simply visiting the Gallery and see the artwork, visitors to the ABSOLUT LOMO site will be given the opportunity to send in their own pictures. The photos will then be printed out – inside the Gallery – and fitted on the wall, thus becoming part of the exhibition.

If you don’t want to participate with your photos in the exhibition you are more than welcome as a spectator: Once visitors have ventured to the Gallery, they will be able to zoom in on all photographs on the wall and post comments on them. A rating system of the photographs is also available. During December, January and February, the rankings generated by visitors will be displayed on the site."
