Talking Newspaper from The Times of India

Everyone who opened today's edition of The Times of India, where in a shock when they found their newspaper talking. The world’s largest circulated English daily, Times Of India surprised it's readers by placing a small embed audio device inside the newspaper. As people opened the page, they heard a robotic voice telling about Volkswagen car.

Hope that this innovative campaign would inspire other advertisers to follow a similar path. :smile:

While once in a while, this concept is good, but imagine it being used all over the place.

Wanna know something funny... the ad was also there in hindustan times and it also featured an article about it carrying the ad in today's newspaper but both TOI and HT did not talk about each other. Like seeing this kinda competition..

2.5 crores to each TOI and The Hindu for carrying the ad in around 22 lakh copies. :grin:
