Earlier this week AdAge reported on the case study I discussed on the use of humor in corporate web video. I showed a few clips including one from our Smarter Planet campaign. “Mainframe: The Art of the Sale” earned some great press coverage. The San Francisco Chronicle blog “What are They Drinking in Armonk,” ZDNet compared it favorably against Microsoft’s broadcast ads with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates, industry luminary James Governor blogged “Selling big iron the David Brent way,” and Comedy Central selected it as a finalist in its Test Pilot’s contest.
