Michael: I have been a critical of COMPAQ's ad campaign, or lack of it in the past. It's nice to be able to report a really good one. The Times of London carried a quarter page ad for Presario. It is a coloured ad. Very nice look to it, clean, clear, classy and compelling in the understated way liked over here. The TV ad campaign is more about changing COMPAQ's image from that of a PC vendor to enterprise. As I mentioned before, it uses animated line drawings of people in a shopping mall coming and going at an ATM machine - then says at the end that COMPAQ supports 70% of the world's ATM machines. To get a taste of the drawing, there is a small corner of it on the COMPAQ site. But in the TV add, the ATM machne has coloured buttons, and there are dozens more people. compaq.co.uk I also mentioned earlier that COMPAQ has taken over several stations on the light overhead railway in the City of London as well as complete wraparound ads on the exterior of the trains themselves. This is high visibility in the City of London which is Metropolitain London's Wall Street.
