Microsoft has had its ups and downs when it comes to marketing. As part of the end-of-year festivities, I thought it would be entertaining to look back at some of the wacky, weird, and wonderful ads Microsoft has put out over the years.
Microsoft hasn't always been the best when it comes to marketing. Those aggressive Windows Phone ads of yesteryear didn't exactly pan out as hoped, and the first Surface commercial was just plain ... weird. However, we got some real tear-jerkers from Microsoft as well, as it highlighted the need for greater accessibility technology, while also finding its footing in some slick and sexy advertisements for its Surface lineup.
I thought it might be fun to cast the spotlight back, and look at some of the commercials Microsoft has put together over the years. From the cringe to the plain cool.
