A Great Campaign

Apple has dominated any other computer ad campaign for a while now. However, with the release of the Microsoft's "Windows 7 was my idea" campaign, they are giving Apple a run for their money. This campaign reaches out to the public by having PC users explain the new features of Windows 7, and take credit for the new program. What I love about these ads is that Microsoft manages to demo features of their product while making their "spokespeople" real and relatable. They also have 3 different ad format - one is quick cuts to different people who claim that Windows 7 was their idea, one focuses on one person who explains why Windows 7 was their idea, and the last one is a 7 second demo of one of the features of Windows 7. They also have some print and outdoor ads, but they are much more successful in TV format.
