Today Verizon responded to AT&T's "There's a Map For That" commercials lawsuit by releasing a slew of new commercials with similar themes and messaging. The battle continues, this time on the infamous Island of Misfit Toys. The first commercial, which I saw air for the first time during the New England Patriots game this afternoon, is called Verizon Blue Christmas (above). As Elvis croons, a man depressingly...

If the iPhone is indeed coming to Verizon in 2010 , as rumors suggest, is it odd that the network’s latest attack ads on AT&T put the iPhone front and center? The new holiday ads from the company tackle AT&T’s (lack of) 3G coverage yet again, in a theme similar to the “there’s a map for that” campaign. It’s possible, however, that Verizon is attacking AT&T rather than the phone itself, essentially...

A few days ago AT&T filed suit against Verizon for its “There’s an App for That” ad campaign. Verizon’s response? Welcoming the iPhone to the Island of Misfit Toys in new commercial that embodies the Christmas Spirit. Hit the break…

If AT&T took offense at Verizon’s “There’s a Map for That” ad campaign, wait until it gets a load of its rivals newest ad spots. Unfazed by AT&T’s litigious reply to its first effort, Verizon rolled out a trio of new anti-AT&T ads over the weekend and they are brutal in their criticism of the carrier's network coverage

As it gears up for the holidays, Verizon is taking a more tongue-in-cheek approach to the whole fight with a new series of ads.

So AT&T has a problem: even after early and vociferous defections by bloggers, they’ve been getting creamed for sub-par service everywhere, especially left and right coast cities that rhyme with Blue Pork and Fan Fanfisco. Verizon is stepping into that breech by releasing these clever commercials touting its network over AT&Ts. But, as Mr. Fireball [...]

Despite AT&T’s lawsuit against Verizon, more commercials go live bashing AT&T’s coverage. They aired three new commercials this weekend featuring the allegedly dismal 3G coverage of AT&T’s service. The new Verizon commercials are holiday focused, featuring Santa’s elves and the iPhone that got sent to the Island of Misfit Toys. AT&T is suing Verizon in the state of New York for misrepresenting its...

Verizon’s latest Christmas-themed television commercials continue the teleco’s critique of competitor AT&T, using the Island of Misfit Toys, Blue Christmas and Santa’s Elves. The three ads set out to reveal the flaw in Apple’s iPhone deal with AT&T, subtly suggesting that the Verizon Droid make its way onto Christmas shopping lists this year.

AT&T is suing Verizon over its "There's a map for That" ad campaign, but that hasn't stopped Verizon from using the same Verizon vs. AT&T image map of 3G coverage in the U.S. in new holiday advertising. The latest advertisement, Verizon Misfit Toys , puts the iPhone at the center of a conversation between some toys on the Island of Misfit Toys. After finding the first ad we checked the Verizon Wireless...

Despite the recent lawsuit from AT&T, Verzion has released another round of commercials just in time for Christmas depicting the iPhone as just another misfit toy because of it’s lack of 3G coverage. I’ll admit that 3G coverage is limited, but I’d rather have the iPhone over the DROID or other Google Android Phones I’ve used. It’s just not an iPhone…

Verizon isn't scared of AT&T and its lawsuit , apparently. AT&T has sued over Verizon's ads showing comparative maps of Verizon vs. AT&T 3G coverage, stating the maps were confusing, but that hasn't stopped Verizon from airing a whole new series of ads. AT&T has said that the maps used in the ads (shown above) confuse people into thinking that AT&T has no coverage in those areas not marked blue. In...

Last week AT&T filed a lawsuit against Verizon because of its latest “coverage map” advertising campaign. Clearly they were upset with the way Verizon was depicting their coverage areas and they wanted to put an end to it. So what did Verizon do about this? They came back with three new holiday themed ads and [...]

Oh, my. Verizon doesn't want to let go of what I guess they think is a good thing. Misfit toys, Christmas music, Elves, Elvis, and 3G. Since they are pushing the coverage map thing, I see visions of lawyers dancing...

Some brands know how to use social media to their advantage while others don't! It's a rather simple statement that doesn't need too much explanations or justifications. I mean with all the noise out there, getting your message through needs certain elements and variables which, when ignored, could turn against you.
