		<description>It really makes me wonder, Saatchi and Dare are big guns in the agency world, and they&#039;re throwing away all of Sony Ericsson&#039;s money.  I guess its the whole traditional versus digital argument going off here, they should just stick to utilising their brand name when using search queries for call-to-actions.  I hear they&#039;re about to go ballistic on Yahoo&#039;s network and getting people to design their own hoppers, more money wasted if they can&#039;t fix this simple issue.  I hope your enjoying the match bud, thanks for the comment.</description>

		<description>Arrived here after watching the ad during the England-Brazil football match - presumably an expensive spot. Searching for Spark Something led me to this site, and a bunch of other blogs discussing the campaign. Can&#039;t find the &quot;official&quot; site anywhere in the first three pages of the google search - gave up after that. Only found the    hopperinvasion.com url after reading your article.</description>

		<description>Amrit,

Great article nice example of how to fail when you launch a new product and your agency doesn&#039;t care about search...

What makes this aspect interesting it is not an example of a brand being caught off guard since it was launch in late September.  

This demonstrates a complete lack of understanding about why you would build a brand, supported by a offline media campaign without owning at least one of the top 3 results.  

The top 3 results still show clearly the failure of Sony to understand search.  
1# is a online review site
2# Press release
3# Blog about how Sony failed
4# Youtube clips
5# Agency called &quot;Spark Communication&quot;

This shows they have failed and not just overlooked the issue, most research shows that consumers don&#039;t usually remember the campaign url in tv/radio ads.

When Cadbury launched their Gorilla campaign some of the many terms new terms their campaign generated: cadbury gorilla, gorilla ad, cadbury ad

http://www.brandrepublic.com/InDepth/Features/773064/Cadbury-gorilla-wins-Campaign-Year/

Good point on BetFair which operates in a highly competitive industry but still does show how to dominate search results.</description>
