Verizon Marketing Stunt at Piedmont Park in Atlanta

I honestly can’t tell if they hired actors to do this or not.  If so, they did a stellar job!

Rumor has it, this was staged.  You might recognize Chris of Dad’s Garage improv theater in the green t-shirt meeting the gentleman being followed by The Network.

Great idea and the video was well done.
- The message and image parallels that of the brand’s advertising.
- The random public audience provided a means for buzz among current customers and those Verizon would like to acquire.
- The method/style in which they filmed the stunt looks like a random person in the park happened upon the event and was attempting to document it via some variety of consumer video electronic, giving the stunt greater believability.

iPhone 3G

I must have been out of my mind. Little did I know when I woke up this morning that I would end up spend two hours visiting five AT&T locations in addition to spending thirteen hours at the Apple Store. All to pick up the new iPhone 3G that was released today. He’s big and black. We’re syncing up right now. It’s moving pretty fast but I like that.

Hello Stranger

Apparently it takes a corporate layoff to motivate yourself to put something besides your resume and “Hello” up on your personal domain.
