BBC iplayer
Would you have done this if it wasn't for Ricky Gervais? Am sure there is some nice tech behind it but I was disappointed by it as after a few clicks I have seen everything. Luckily by then the ads was over...to make this a success they would have needed more celebrities

McDonald: Coffeetime
Great concept, really badly executed, they could have partnered with Instagram or similar, they could have actually put the real time of the photo, they could have try to use the actual Facebook timeline too. What a shame.

Samsung: Project Teamwork
So basically you set-up some events and you try loosely to connected it to the products by including it in some shots. I supposed it's branded content but why would I choose the phone after watching these, I still don't know.

Take Them to School
Of course it's only a trick, but it's a lovely and emotional trick...pure joy, perfect way for people to donate, I hope Apple is waving their fee.

I haven't got a clue how this is going to work but it's sure going to be interesting.

Kia: The Extras
Not a new concepts but the clips on youtube are well shots and well played and really follow the TV ads really well. So why as the channel not being changed and why is the mini site so boring? A lot could be done with these characters and the audience even if it's as simple as vote for your favourite.

Wonka Wrapper
In principle the idea should be fun, in practically it doesn't work as you can not hold the pack and use your mouse at the same time in an elegant manner. Also the reaction time is poor. So what do you get in the end? lots of video of kids that don't know what to do.

Red: (2015) Quilt
The classic quilt idea with now the added Facebook connect functionality that make it so much more easy to found your friends'panels. Am not sure if it's some tech issue but I can see a lot of repeating panel when I browse around. Maybe my panel needs to be moderated but I could not found is thumbnail ever.

Action Movie FX
Considering this is to mainly promote the new "Mission: Impossible", it's a bit cheeky to have some adds on that need to be purchased. Nevertheless the kids, and a few grown up, will like this app for 5 minutes at least. On brand, on target...
