I was approached by a media company for permission to use my photos in an online ad campaign for KFC a few weeks back. It was meant to be non-monetary (e.g. free) but with an inbound link to the post in question about the KFC Toasted Twister entry I did a few weeks ago. It came out in The Star (pictured above), MSN Malaysia and MSN Live Messenger this week.
I’ve seen it also on the Today screen of MSN Live Messenger. There seem to be two (2) versions of the ads:
Skyscraper unit
Large rectangle unit
The two versions above does not have the inbound link but I’ve heard from a friend that there’s another splash page version that comes out occasionally with an inbound link if you click on the headline (other parts of the ad will direct you to the KFC website).
Has anyone seen that version around? Cheers! 🙂
somehow it never choses to show on me.
i noticed it when i on9 a few days ago… that’s why i found your blog…
so sad lo cannot see your blog from tomorrow to this thursday~~~ got trial exam~~~@_@
i can smell free fried chickens coming to u… *drools
So you managed to get to see it in the end. I caught it again a day or two later on Windows Live Today…but when I clicked on replay. nothing happened…and clicking for more got me to KFC website only, nothing about the ad. They pay u for that or not? Lifetime supply of KFC??? I want! I want! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
HB is now the official KFC endorsement man haha, any free chickens for that?
i saw it where the INNER ATHLETE ad is in your screencap, and yes there was a link to your blog. there was a link to another blog as well.
Haha…i did came across that on The Star recently but they never post anything details (especially about you) on the link itself. You know anything bout this before hand?
Hmmmm… where is the very common ethical practice that they should the least have to give credit to the original source that they quoted from? It doesn’t matter whether they have the link somewhere else, it is necessary to show the source side by side of the material each time they use it.
anae kiamsiak. ha ha.
Bo le… I dun see it. *faster* *faster* *go to surf more sites to check out the ads* LOL
YingYang: I’ve seen it a couple of times, there are other ads rotating, so it might take a while.
vincent: Oh, so you came in from the ad? Interesting. Good luck in your exam! 🙂
Bert: Haha! It’s gratis. I didn’t receive any payment for this. I do Fast Food Inc. reviews coz I like it, I don’t get paid for it at all (and I also pay for the food). Hmm…now come to think of it, that should probably change eh? 😉
suituapui: No lah, I didn’t receive any payment for it. No lifetime supply of KFC too. Have to pay. 😉
Darren: Nope, unfortunately not. 😉
I need to sharpen my negotiation skillz.
christmas: Thanks for the information! 🙂
Yeah, it was going to be a dual feature with two excerpts from two bloggers and inbound links for both but that ad never shows on me. I haven’t seen it, but then again I’ve been busy this week. Shall check it out when I’m on MSN. Cheers!
JoeNiece: Yeah, I knew about this a couple of weeks ago. 🙂
fish fish: Hmm…well, there’s no model release forms or anything like that, but I gave written consent for the use of the photos, in exchange for an inbound link. 😉
clement: Times are hard, I guess. 😉
Eh, petrol price decrease already.
Choonie: Those are the three sites that I know has it. I don’t think it’s shown any other place. 🙂
I wanna know how you got twister-fied!
jessy: The second part of the ad is up today. 🙂
This is the interactive one with the inbound link to sixthseal.com
