CYNOPSIS DIGITAL - TODAY'S
TOP STORY:
Microsoft plans to spend
$80-$100 million to promote its new search engine that now has a name -
"Bing," per Ad Age. (This is a huge commitment
considering the software giant's entire ad budget was $25 million in
2008, according to TNS Media Intelligence.) Ad agency JWT has been hiring
new creative executives to tackle the challenge. The campaign will be
focused on convincing users that existing search engines just aren't
cutting it.
