Apple Takes Over Wall Street Journal with iLife Ad

Submitted by Ryan Spoon on May 11, 2009 – 8:05 pmView Comments

A week after Apple took over ESPN.com to attack Microsoft’s latest campaign…
And two months after they shook up ESPN.com with a terrific iPhone ad….
And over a year after promoted Leopard on NYTimes.com…

Apple released another terrific rich ad campaign – this time on the Wall Street Journal and promoting iLife. Apple seems to have mastered the interactive double ad-unit (horizontal and double-width leaderboard) where the two components interact with one another. The campaigns are integrated with other marketing efforts and encourage user engagement on the publisher’s site… an win / win.

    While Apple sucks, I must admit I admire Apple. They really squeeze the cash out of idiots who'll pay more for the exact same thing with an incredibly slight enhancement.

    Better than Intel's overlay on top of the NYT today. Intel launched some huge campaign today ... they've been everywhere.
  • I heard about it but haven't seen it in action (currently an SAP ad on NYT.com). Any pics / links!?

    A little hard to tell since it's like a 80% opacity. Negative reactions are a combination of a whole page takeover (100% of the window), the silly attempt to project what the NYT will look like in 2040, and the NYT pimping its brand out for an advertiser.
  • Well at least it pays the bills to let them get to 2040!
