Xbox Advertising Awarded
It’s time to pop open your finest champagne and celebrate Microsoft’s recent success at the 2002 Cannes International Advertising Festival. Microsoft brought home awards for their Champagne and European-only Mosquito commercials in the area of Creative Advertising. Champagne, which was handed the highly coveted Golden Lion award, is described to be a short film about how life goes by fast and how one should take the time to slow it down and play a few games along the way. The Mosquito ad, given the Bronze Lion, is a minute long commercial about the importance of having fun and the consequences that lie ahead if you do forget to enjoy life. Unfortunately, there have been no announcements regarding a nudist commercial to hit the U.S. airwaves. We can only dream that they day will come.Source: http://xbox.ign.com/
