That was a most contradictory ad...do thing simple even though the world has changed to make it easier to get a much much bigger effect...but lets not because we're lazy...
If print was the most powerful way to reach the target audience; why bother making a video about it?
Seems like an effective, disruptive, viral video to me, that contradicts what it says at the end. It's a clever ad for the agency as a "pattern interrupt" in this case.
DI are actually making fools of the traditional ad agencies. According to DI they spend too much money on creating events (the zoo, the zebra toys, etc.), they don't understanding social media and they haven't realized the need for a strategy and analysis of the channels in relation to the target groups. The video is a show-off for the strength of social media - only that you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with your invested efforts and money.
The irony I first read about this on google reader after some people I were following recommended it and I ended up watching it on a social media site.
@bennijolink It proves that the social media lead to the product itself becoming obsolete, making the campaign a campaign for the campaign. So I heard you like campaigns :D
DI gör viral reklam på nätet för att få folk att börja köpa annonser i tryck. Uppenbarligen tror de inte på sitt eget budskap om att tryck är mest effektivt.
Det är dessutom en känga till reklamfolk och mediaplanerare som tror att sociala medier är guds gåva till mänskligheten. Det är väl utmärkt att använda sig av den kanalen de gillar och den man samtidigt kritiserar. Bra Storåkers!

The negative aspects of the example should have been exaggerated to a greater extent.
With this, 110 of the seconds completely contradicts the final 10 second key message that most people probably never got to.

They should have used an ostrich, not a zebra. They stick their head in the sand and ignore the world around them too.
Dagens Industri, like most printed dailies, will be f-ked in a matter of years if not months. And that's the daily news...
