Ad Agency Nerdgasm


When Cyberdyne isn't ignorantly plotting mankind towards destruction via Judgement Day with its creation of Skynet, they need to drum up some new business just like the rest of us. I mean, its not like creating Terminators and flabby Arnold look alikes is gonna be able to sustain business forever. That's why they use ads like this one, to show you that they too are Building Our Future...Today! Too bad nobody ever told them that their money would be better spent making terminators that can write press releases, track and engage blogs, and search and destroys bad rumors.
This is actually the genius side project of ad agency GiantIdeas, who have an ongoing series of Geek Ad Wednesdays where they mock up ads for fictional mega-corporations from various movies and shows such as Lost, Bladerunner, Terminator and Jurassic Park. It does an excellent job of showcasing their creative talent and technical skills as well as highlighting their sense of humor and personality. Something to consider as we wrap up our marketing materials for the office and continue looking into other creative ways to show ourselves off to the local Cyberdynes.
Who wants to help me host a podcast interview with the Joker about how he's always been so successful at promoting his brand identity.
