The Break Up
Uploaded by geertdesager

This is a brilliant commercial/parody produced by a marketing manager at microsoft to help communicate the current state of the relationship between advertisers and consumers. The projects blog is called bringbackthelove.com. This is an inspired production and an excellent communication tool. It was inspired somewhat by David Armano’s bit in Business Week titled It’s The Conversation Economy Stupid.

    Fabulous. The depiction of the advertising guy, with all the cliches, is brilliant. Two thumbs and at least a couple of pinkies up!

    Do you know who I need to contact to get permission to use this great piece (“The Breakup”) in a company video for an internal audience.

    @Mary, I don’t think you really need permission to use it in an internal company video.
