Fang-tastic Ads for True Blood, real brands vamped up - gotta love it, too clever

True Blood's second season kicks off with a slew of vampire-friendly fake ads for real brands.  These are just too good to miss!

According to a report on Creativity-Online Cable network HBO has partnered with popular marketers for an ad campaign promoting the second season premier of its series True Blood.  Agency Digital Kitchen created ads for fake products targeting vampires for real brands Ecko Unlimited, Geico, Gillette, Harley-Davidson, MINI and Monster.com. The ads maintain the brands' logos and creative style while featuring made-up vampire-themed copy and products.

In actual fact the products sound fake but the companies are real. Don't bother going to the web addresses shown in the ads, there’s nothing at those addresses, at least for now.

These ads are really cool.  Someone had on a great thinking cap to come up with this idea.  Love it!
