WHAT DO CREEPY MAGICIANS AND MAN-BOOBS HAVE TO DO WITH CLEAR 4G INTERNET?
February 21, 2012
This week VB&P launches a new campaign for Clear 4G internet that includes TV spots “Shirts” and “Magician.” Both play up ridiculous scenarios where data limits and long-term contracts from the internet world are applied to everyday situations. In “Magician,” a family finds themselves awkwardly eating breakfast with a magician with whom they reluctantly signed a “two-year birthday party contract.” And in “Shirts,” a mid-level manager finds himself giving a bare-chested presentation to a crowded conference room because he happened to reach his “shirt limit for the month.”
TOP TEN.

We’re proud to report that Audi “Vampire Party” scored in the top 10 of “Most Liked” Super Bowl ads according to USAToday‘s first ever Facebook AdMeter. This is huge. We beat out Chevy, Acura’s Seinfeld, Coke’s Polar Bears, Budweiser and…drumroll…Ferris. Check it out here. *
USAToday isn’t the only poll that “likes” our work. Nielsen ranked us the 7th “Most Liked” and we are now #8 on Hulu’s Adzone Countdown (voted by Facebook likes). To top it off, we have 6.1 million YouTube views and counting (7th most overall of any Super Bowl advertiser).
In addition to all this social media chatter, our Vampires earned top press reviews in People, CNBC, The Daily Beast, LA Times, Fox Sports and Good Morning America.
*The Facebook AdMeter is a much bigger deal than the traditional USAToday AdMeter as the traditional one only talks to 286 randoms in McLean, VA.
WE’RE ULTRA EXCITED.
