Apple Releases Three More Mac Versus PC Ads
Apple has just released three more ads that promote the benefits of owning a Mac. The ads are based on the following themes (as stated at the end of the ads)
- "You can make amazing stuff"
- "Awesome out of the box"
- "Macs do Windows, too"
The newly released ads continue to demonstrate that Apple is interested in selling Macs to current Windows/PC users. In a prior post, I stated the view that Apple is using the "Get A Mac" campaign as a revitalized Switch campaign.
You can view the ads on the ESPN Soccernet page. Just reload the page until they are visible in the upper right corner. Updates including quotes from the ads will be posted shortly.
Updates
June 12, 2006
- Ads are no longer showing up on the ESPN Soccernet page
- A discussion about the ads can be found at Digg
- Updated post with the quote from the end of each ad
- The ads do not show up on Apple's getamac site
- Perhaps ESPN pulled the ads as they may have been posted prematurely
