DETROIT, MI, December 10, 2009 – Full-service media company Bandito Brothers received multiple honors for its US Navy work at the third annual ‘D Show’. Created via Campbell-Ewald/Detroit, “Navy Athletes” took home the award for Integrated Branding, while the agency’s US Navy account received the Ambassador Award, awarded for best marriage of creative content & context innovation. The work was honored in a ceremony held December 2 at the Max M. Fisher Music Center.
Based in Culver City, CA, Bandito Brothers is deepening its connection with the Motor City via the newly launched Bandito Garage, a one-stop shop that refines the process of producing industry-leading content for commercials, content footage, branded entertainment, and product placement by servicing all of these needs under one roof. The Garage is uniquely positioned to benefit automotive agencies and clients, and has already garnered attention for a spec campaign produced using its evolutionary business model: the BMW M3 film “Living in the Lights”, helmed by Bandito partner/director Mouse McCoy, is comprised of longform, shortform, and print components, and has taken car blogs and other media by storm, racking up 620,000+ and considerable press.
Founded in 2007, The D Show celebrates outstanding work done by the Detroit advertising community and the local creative community at large.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Being a blog writer myself, I really appreciate the time you took in writing this article.
