While there’s no question the actual numbers here are interesting on their own, it’s no surprise whatsoever that Samsung and Apple run away from the pack when it comes to marketing dollars. In fact, the most interesting takeaway here is just how much more Samsung and Apple spend against their three largest competitions in HTC, BlackBerry and Nokia. For its part, Samsung leapfrogged Apple in 2012 with spending from $78 million in 2011 to … [read full article]

T-Mobile’s Czech Republic Branch Discovers How To Properly Market Waterproof Smartphones (NSFW)

Generally speaking, I don’t usually look at T-Mobile news outside the US, but this marketing campaign used by T-Mobile in the Czech Republic is just awesome. It’s definitely NSFW by American standards and this kind of promotion would never, ever be tolerated by parents, mall security and the politically correct police we have stateside. Unfortunately, we don’t know when or if the Xperia Z will ever land on T-Mobile US and given the … [read full article]

T-Mobile Responding To AT&T’s Newspaper Ad With Their Own Creative Responses

Let me be the first to say, that if these ads developed for T-Mobile in response to AT&T’s one-page attack ad last week don’t run in newspapers everyday for the next year, I’m going to be disappointed. Do these ads point to a new, cocky T-Mobile? Absolutely, but that’s what makes me love these three spots. I’ve long hoped that T-Mobile would do more to adopt a scrappy marketing campaign and start … [read full article]

Google Shows Off The Nexus 4 And Google Now In Brand New TV Commercial

All it took was 61 seconds during last nights Grammy Awards, but Google has totally won me over with their new television spot. Aptly titled “Nexus 4: Live in the Now,” Google shows off not only the Nexus 4 hardware, but also how useful Google Now can be in the “real world.” No matter where you are in the world, Nexus 4 with Google Now gives you just the right information at just the right time. … [read full article]

T-Mobile Revamps Helicopter Commercial To Take Shot At AT&T Voice Quality

T-Mobile’s revamped a commercial originally debuting this past December with an opportunity to take a shot at AT&T’s voice quality at the end. The commercial itself is unchanged as we watch Carly fly around the country with lots of pink lighting going up in the background.
