Right up at the top this week, well at no 2, is a video that at first glance is not commercial. It’s for ideablob.com, a place “where entrepreneurs and small business owners can share and grow their business ideas”. The people behind it are Avanta, a credit card and small business loan company, not your usual YouTube content provider. The video isn’t your normal video either, being an exploration about ideas and what they’re, but at 1.2 million views, it looks care about it caught the imagination somewhere.
Rudy Gay is busy promoting the Sprite Slam Dunk competition, or at least his entry in it. Load up a video of you doing a Slam Dunk and the favourite one gets performed by the player in the competition. Not strictly talking a commercial video, but the promoter gets enough plugs.
Next up from Sunsilk, at 54, a promotional ad for a new competition they’re are running - it’ll also show during the Superbowl, making this the first large game ad I’ve seen on the chart. Tied into Life Can’t Wait, they are looking for you to tell your story, but only from Feb 1 on MySpace. The video is not a version loaded up by Sunsilk, but from Spanish music blog, Only Pop, who have reported on the stars, Shakira and Madonna (plus Marilyn Monroe) who are in the video .
Finally, the front page promotional spot is taken up by a Vauxhall Corsa supported ad from the Cmons. The competition has been running for the last 2 months so it looks like they are looking for a last minute boost to the numbers.
