Orange I am campaign

4 comments

Orange's latest billboard marketing campaign in London is quite remarkable, as it asks you to search for "I am" to find out more.

So that means that at least through out the campaign they must have paid every major search engine every time a respondent wants to find out more about their product offering.

To me, this is surprisingly stupid. Is it that difficult for those coke snorting marketeers to find a reasonable (sub)domain and add some non-vacuous content? Crikey.

I guess Hutchison 3G have the same problem when people search for 3. I guess if you don’t understand the Web you’ll get punished by Google.

You are not a typical luser.

I don’t see why 3 bother, they are top anyway.

That’s not really the point. Orange could have create a domain for this but have decided upon an approach popular in Japan. Users often search for a site even if they know the URL, they even put ‘www.google.com’ into google. It might not be to everyone’s tastes, but their was thought behind the idea.

Thanks Ian for the comment.

Last night I read The truth about Web navigation which re-affirms your point.
