Google proves further it is an advertising company

April 18, 2006 by in Tech with 3 Comments

Google and Sony Pictures Entertainment have partnered to promote “The Da Vinci Code” and Google Homepage through a time-sensitive, interactive contest.

While other Internet giants such as America Online, have typically used synergies with parent companies or other partners to create media promotions of this nature, this marks a significant move for Google.

This is pure marketing for Google. This was done not only to promote their own products, but to further show they are not opposed to selling off their “untarnished” image. Microsoft shouldn’t be scared, Viacom should.

    eek, I guess Google is an advertising company. I never would’ve expected this from them… well, actually I would, but let’s just keep that a secret.

    how long until the “do no evil” montra comes back to haunt them?

    I think evil is right around the corner myself ;)

    So, you’ve acquired a customer, they’re paying you a monthly rental fee, referred a friend, purchased packing supplies and a lock from you and just insured their grandmother’s heirlooms and son’s baseball card collection they have stored with you…
