Microsoft's Google-Bashing TV Campaign Is Actually Working | Digital - Advertising Age

"The commercials are hard hitting, beating up Google for everything from invasive ads in Gmail to sharing data with app developers to placing paid results on its search page. Google, the ads claim, is "Scroogling" its users, or exploiting their private data to maximize advertising profits.

And just like ruthless political attack ads, you can go nearly the full length of these without a clue as to whom is behind them. Only at the end does Microsoft identify itself. "For honest search results, try Bing," the narrator might say, sometimes waiting until the final two seconds to do so."

I think we will need to see how market share is affected before we will really know if the ads worked.
