26 Jun

Reblogged from TechCrunch:

The Samsung Galaxy S III is the phone you've been waiting for (per our review), and you may be waiting a bit longer due to some slight shortages on GSIII supply, but luckily this extended version of the ad can coddle us through this very difficult period.

24 May

Reblogged from GigaOM:

Samsung has a recent history of mocking others in its ads -- some poked fun at iPhone users -- but now Samsung is using humor to tout its gesture controlled line of Smart TV sets. Thanks to an integrated web cam atop the display, consumers can control video playback, volume and other functions without touching the set.

To show how -- dare I say it -- sexy this is, the company's latest ad shows what happens when you put a female model wearing a camisole top and shorts that are two sizes too small in front of a Smart TV.

Editor's note: Hussein Fazal is CEO of AdParlor, an ad management and technology company for Facebook campaigns. AdParlor manages over 1 billion daily ad impressions on Facebook for clients such as Ubisoft, SEGA, Groupon, OMD and Starcom.

I must say that I have been a little bit disappointed recently in the many, many, many analysts who have been knocking the Facebook valuation with very limited insight into what is going on with their advertising business.
