Long time reader, first time poster.



What're all of your ideas for the ad campaign for the new iMac.. There is bound to be one.. so hook up some thoughts...



My guess is it'll be something cheesy like the old cube ads, ie, "Revolution" by the Beatles playing and ending with "It's a revolution. Squared"



May god help us all....



So give up some REAL ideas... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    "The Second Coming" or "The New Revolution" or "Revolution 2"

    Scantily white-clad supermodels waltz across a whitewash landscape with a white table and white chairs, camera angles swooping up to reveal a little color on top of that table.



    iMac 2. Prettier than ever.

    They'll probably just use the old G4 Cube ads....since the new iMac is probably going to be a Cube with a non-attached 15" Apple LCD. The iMac Bundle...or something.

    EVOLUTION. If they do that, I'll fall asleep for a thousand years (until there is a G6).

    I like Sony's ad for their desktop where it says how you can watch TV, burn music, etc. I think they'd need to show what the new Mac can do.

    While I totaly agree, I don't think that will ever happen because Apple takes the "we are cool, buy us" approach. I have said for soooo long they need to have commercials showing EVERYTHING that you can do on a Mac. The avg Joe thinks Macs are only for graphics. The iMac is for the avg Joe, so Apple needs to do more avg Joe type commercials, it can still be cool, just show what the fricking Mac can do!

    The new iMac ads will be lame, like all the other Apple ads have been lately.



    But will it be called an iMac any longer?

    imac2......go



    ad shows new imac as slightly bulky apple display with handle on desk...camera pulls back slowly as imac owner ejects dvd from slot that he has just burned, he powers down imac, then grabs it by the handle and walks out the front door (make it the same guy and apartment as the ipod commercial)....

    I don't see now it's 'squared'

    =/



    Most likely they'll do what they've done before and tie the new flat panel feature in with some clever phrase . . .

    ok, it starts on a starship, and theres an alien on watch duty- but he's bored! so he checks out his old imac and some cheezy 40's music is playing- it morphs into a new one before his eyes! techno starts blazing and the imac grows to 10 times actual size as speakers grow from the sides and turntables pop out the front! then the boss comes out and he has to hide it and pretend he's doing work, yea... thats a good commercial. then at the end it says



    imac, the center of your digital world

    How about something in the lines of...



    "iMac, maybe the world is flat. Think Different."

    Anyone see the posters at MWNY for the new LCDs?



    "Asta la vista CRT" - oh god! who was the marketing genius who came up with that one! ick

    The Joy of buying your first iMac

    14-year-old girl watching out the living room window

    Checks clock...just then:

    FedEx pulls up, and runs for door

    Her and her daddy sign for the iMac



    Jump cut to her bedroom room

    Show her and her daddy setting it up

    (clock on wall shows 4 minutes later

    Do the "registration" process

    Get online inside of 7 minutes



    Pan right and back

    Shows old beige PC on floor with keyboard and mouse hanging out of trash can.



    Share the joy. iMac.

    Those G3 commericals were great, they should use something like that again.

    pursuant to the "flat world" idea...



    maybe this is better:



    Just because the world is round, doesn't mean your computer has to be.



    (glamour shots)



    (hello (again)) shot



    fade to black



    Say hello to iMac. Again.
