Diversity is key in Google’s latest Android Wear ad

Google has really ramped up its Android Wear marketing since Apple announced its launch dates for the Apple Watch, and diversity is the focus of its latest one-minute ad entitled “Wear what you want.”

By making diversity the focus of its latest ads, Google is showcasing the one thing you cannot get from Apple Watch: choice. The clip below features a whole host of different Android Wear devices from different manufacturers that prove no matter what you’re style, you’ll find a Wear watch to match it.

Some Wear watches are square like the LG G Watch and the Samsung Gear Live, while others are round like the Moto 360 and the upcoming Huawei Watch. Some are made of metal, some are made of plastic; some have silicone straps, and some have leather straps.

In comparison, Apple Watch looks almost exactly the same no matter which model you choose. Sure, Apple offers a variety of straps, but the $350 Apple Watch Sport looks identical to the $13,500 Apple Watch Edition — just not quite as expensive.

Of course, which platform is right for you has little to do with choice right now; it’s all about whether you’re running Android or iOS on your smartphone, because neither platform supports both. But rumor has it Android Wear will support iPhone soon, and that could make it a real (and more affordable) alternative to Apple Watch for hundreds of millions of iPhone users.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role? Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Gears of War leakers punished by Microsoft

Footage of the Gears of War remaster currently in production leaked this week . Microsoft took swift action as a result, banning and suspending the accounts and consoles of the people who broke NDA. When you sign up to be a beta tester on very early projects like these, you sign a Nondisclosure Agreement. These NDAs are usually pretty tight and make clear what you are and aren’t allowed to talk about and what the consequences might be for breaking the agreement. In the case of these leaks, it seems that the leak actually went against not only the NDA the users in question signed when they started working with the firm handling the testing but against Microsoft’s End User License Agreement as well. The firm, VMC, sent out a letter to all its testers in the wake of the leak, stating that Microsoft has permanently disabled the Xbox Live accounts of the users in question, as well as any accounts unfortunate enough to be on the system at the time. Additionally, the console itself has be
