Zune's new ad came out a couple of days ago and it is not lacking in creativity and, um zombies. "Very Tim Burton", says adrants. Indeed. The ad is somewhat reminiscent of Burton's quirky and often dark style but the aptly titled Piece of Me, Piece of You manages to be very cheerful and totally cool.
Implications - With the popularity of zombie movies and television shows like "28 Days Later" and "The Walking Dead," it's no surprise to see advertising that features the undead becoming increasingly more common. Ads like this entertain while simultaneously informing consumers about products, an effective combination that can make any brand stand out.
