Office XP (maybe ealier) Have prety tight integration with IE, open a Word document from a website, it opens in IE with a mini word toolbar, the same goes for Power Point, and Excell. They all have 'Save to HTML' also, it may be pretty bloated HTML, but it works to get the point across, and most users can do file|save|select HTML. They even have a template requrest, I have never tried it for responsiveness, but hey...MS can do some work for you:)
'Mr. Blaser considers the game to have been a success. "The bang for the buck was worth it," he says, pointing out that $20,000 buys little television time, which is fleeting anyway.'
I probably would to, if I had that sort of advertising budget, but the games are not a new idea, putting a message in them, not really.
Example: Elf Bowling Theres millions of people looking for cheap, easy, short term entertainment and relaxation. These are games that have piratically no learning curve. (maybe read what keys do what, after guessing a few common options) and can be easily put away when the boss is walking down the hall, or to take care of whatever home matters that need intimidate attention when they arise.
People happen to be browsing a website, theres something entertaining to do, if only for a few seconds (even I'm guilty of netting the monkey in the banner add for whatever product it was, to see if it was somewhat interactive) It was a few seconds more, that the longer 'impression' was there. If nothing else,it's less time that they have to spend on their competitors website.
If they can get someone to listen to their point, in an unobtrusive, truthful manner. Deceptive advertising is bad advertising. All the better.
The real question would be, what message are they preaching?
