72 and sunny, the agency who helmed the creative behind Zune's marketing is known for using grassroots culture to sell products and companies. If you take a look at their work, especially the DC Shoes spots, they aren't in the business of using million dollar productions and clever storylines. Most of their work is merely a hodgepodge of clips and moments cut together with a tagline at the end. Are they great, sure, but it's more of a lesson in being hip to something before someone else uses the people or footage for something else. And it was in this spirit that they created the zune campaign, "welcome to the social."

I thought the most interesting paragraph from the article was:
But where they went wrong was with the non traditional advertising that could have been done. For instance, imagine a huge zune billboard that was sending out via wireless a free song for zune users in range. How about a free album? This would have caused people to gather around the installation, all standing there holding their Zunes into the air- true social interaction. Then imagine an ipod user walking by and feeling left out. Probably a little more convincing than a commercial.
