Google takes a turn for TV with NOVA commercial
12/14/2005 12:13:00 AM
Via ZDNet's Google blog, the first known Google TV commercial is attractive screen candy. The spot feels like a trip through the galaxy with a search field populating with "egyptology" and then panning video of pyramids. To further titillate the explorer in you, the search field then populates with "astronomy" and zooms into a starry space scene followed by a sedate image of the Google homepage and the search field populating with "NOVA."
I think it's easy to see that a NOVA sponsorship is an appropriate placement for Google and just happens to be a convenient way of making a baby step into capturing an audience from a new medium. Other similar comments are available in this discussion of the ad spots. NOVA targets well-educated and deep-pocketed middle-agers, and so a sponsorship by Google of this program is really just a way of pointing out to this audience sector that Google can bring them the same kind of exploration that NOVA does. If ever Google were to take that step of a first advertisement on a medium, then this is the way to do it: sleekly, responsibly, and with targeting that doesn't waste a dollar.

It cannot succeed in actual fact, that is exactly what I think.

It’s difficult to get knowledgeable folks on this topic, but the truth is be understood as what happens you’re preaching about! Thanks. Instagram is one of the biggest social media platforms. An Instagram stalker can create big trouble. It is important to know every Insta stalker who is visiting your profile or story. You have read my post about how to check who viewed my Instagram profile/account.
