Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Smartphones, PC / Laptop, Portable Audio / Video, Videos,
Speaking of marketing, watch every Apple commercial from 1977 to present day. There's about 485 commercials, which includes the famous Mac vs PC, the technicolored hipster iPod dance ads and, of course, the iconic 1984 Macintosh SuperBowl spot directed by Sir Ridley Scott. One of my favorites, the first iPhone ad 'Surprised' from 2007.

Lexus CinePrint ad uses iPad to merge print and digital to promote 2013 Lexus ES (video!)
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Misc. Tech, Transportation,
Lexus calls it CinePrint, we call it brilliant. The luxury auto maker has created a very nifty interactive marketing ad, which utilizes a user's iPad to bring a 2013 Lexus ES to life in a magazine. From a marketing standpoint, the illustration is very impressive and gets the reader involved in the process of merging print and video. This is surely lacking when just reading a static page or watching a traditional car commercial on TV, at which point we usually just turn the page or tune out. It's still an ad, but it's pretty freaking cool. Check out the video after the break.

Selena Gomez says her first fragrance campaign is "very sensual." The singer-and-actress is wearing a sexy purple dress while she is submerged in water in the ad for the self-titled perfume and she is thrilled with the results.
"The water is actually lit from underneath, so it made it look pink and purple, like the colors of the bottle. I wanted it to look like I was swimming in my fragrance. It's very romantic, very sensual. But it's fun and beautiful at the same time. I don't really understand why I decided to be underwater [in the ad] but it looked cool!" she told People.

Madonna’s Perfume Ad Too Racy for TV
Madonna's perfume commercial is too racy for TV. The "Girls Gone Wild" singer's new 30-second black-and-white ad for her Truth or Dare scent have been deemed inappropriate for Disney-owned channel ABC with bosses ordering that shots of her breasts and butt be digitally altered to cover them up.
"ABC viewed the ad [and] came back with a list of changes. They say they want her bra digitally made bigger, and to extend higher to cover more of her chest, and her corset longer to cover more of her bottom. ABC also wants to cut another suggestive scene where Madonna writhes around," a source the New York Post's Page Six.
However, even once the changes have been made, channel bosses have ruled the ad (seen after the jump) can only run after the 9pm watershed, with the exception of daytime show The View.
"ABC has requested some changes be made to the content of the Truth or Dare perfume commercial," another source said.

Ashley Greene says it's "very cool" to appear on a giant billboard for DKNY.
The actress is the new face of the brand and says it was amazing to see her campaign be unveiled in New York's Times Square yesterday. "This is very cool. There are a lot of firsts for me here today. It's my first photo op in Times Square, my first time on one of these buses and my first billboard for DKNY Jeans. It's an exciting day. The campaign shots turned out great. They're such talented photographers and really captured the essence of New York."
Ashley is also an ambassador for Mark cosmetics and said she's happy that the two brands she works with are so complementary: "They pair together nicely. They reach the same demographic - young and carefree. And they both provide a positive message of empowerment for women."
The full DKNY advertising campaign featuring Ashley will be out beginning in early January.
Lindsay Lohan Becomes Face of Jag Jeans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Lindsay Lohan has become the new face of Jag Jeans. The actress - who recently posed naked for Playboy magazine - recently shot a campaign for the denim brand and impressed bosses with her professionalism.
"As Jag Jeans' newest endorser, Lindsay embodies the strength and fearlessness of the woman of today. She is unafraid to be who she is. She is fierce yet exudes feminine grace," a press release read. "Lindsay was so involved with the shoot that she would go as far as adjusting items on the set. She even requested scissors so she could personally fray the edges of her black crepe blouse because she believed it would look better that way. Lindsay would take a hands-on approach to her shots, as she was more than willing to change her hairstyle during mid-shoot and even used her own personal jewelry and accessories when needed."
Dakota Fanning’s Marc Jacobs Ad Banned
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
A Marc Jacobs advert has been banned for appearing to "sexualize a child."
The British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has slammed the "sexually provocative" magazine commercial, which features 17-year-old actress Dakota Fanning sitting on the floor wearing a pale-colored thigh-length dress with an Oh Lola perfume bottle between her thighs."We noted that the model was holding up the perfume bottle which rested in her lap between her legs and we considered that its position was sexually provocative. We understood the model was 17 years old but we considered she looked under the age of 16. We considered that the length of her dress, her leg and position of the perfume bottle drew attention to her sexuality. Because of that, along with her appearance, we considered the ad could be seen to sexualize a child," said the ASA in a statement.

Ever since Pretty Little Liars character Emily Fields came out as a lesbian on the show, it ruffled some conservative feathers over at the Florida Family Association (FFA), prompting the group to launch a campaign that aims to have advertisers pull out of the show over "irresponsible imagery" -- i.e., Emily's romantic scenes.
