I Am Legend - DVD & Blu-Ray widget!
We've re-purposed this to promote the Warner Home Video release of
I AM LEGEND. This has given us a chance to make some modifications based on lessons learned from the theatrical campaign, such that we now take people straight into Robert Neville's hideout, and give them the chance to get stuck straight into the awesome mini-game we created. If you have a moment, see if you can help us push the PPC Interactive survivor score up!

Will you watch?
Our campaign for UNTRACEABLE is now nearing a frenzied conclusion, after several weeks of subversive online marketing activity culminating in Facebook's decision to shut down our KILL WITH ME page on the basis that it is "hateful", "threatening" and/or "obscene".

If it receives over 10,000 visits between now and Friday we're going to show the entire first 10 minutes of the film.
For the best overall analysis of the campaign I recommend a piece by Jemima Kiss on The Guardian's website, and we've also picked up some great coverage on METRO. It's going to be great to watch the digital footprint of this activity grow leading up to the release on Friday.
Coming just a couple of days out from release, this reinforces how important and integrated a part of the marketing mix online publicity has become.
UPDATE (01/03/2008): Collated here for posterity, here is some of the coverage we've generated leading up to the UK's opening weekend:
