Whaddaya Know, a Deliciously Watchable Zune Ad!

Finally a Zune ad we like. It is fun to watch, slightly nostalgic, and smacks a little of springtime (something we need right now because winter is sucking out our souls).

This spot is called Intergalactic Swap Meet. Think Sony Bravia with a dash of Little Deviants (because it’s a bit dark, not all pop and Technicolor).

That whole “sharing is caring” thread is present as in the previous spots, but it’s not sickening or otherwise objectively lame like in previous efforts (observe hither and yon).

The spot was produced by Blacklist, NY and directed by againstallodds for agency 72andSunny, LA. Music by The Deadly Syndrome.

Stick with it, Zune! Your product may suck, but great advertising does wonders!

(Seriously, though. Try and make the Zune stop sucking. It would be awful if you generated actual buyers, then bit them in the hand.)
