<title>FedEx, BBDO NY Plus Mariachi Band, Hip-Hop Act Present The Jingle Studio</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><iframe width="480" height="375" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NhtyQ8mGrwY"></iframe></p>
<p>For a company that specializes in mundane activities like box building and document copying, FedEx made some jazzy choices in their latest campaign. To sell FedEx as a company providing “solutions that matter,” BBDO NY worked with Caviar and Haus to show businesses what they <em>won’t</em> be getting.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-39701 aligncenter" title="Fedex jingle 1" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy/files/2012/10/Fedex-jingle-1-300x264.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="264" /></p>
<p>It all takes place in the <a href="https://apps.facebook.com/fedexjingle/?id=385&amp;rf=email" target="_blank">Jingle Studio Facebook app</a>, where companies can create the cheesiest of jingles. They pick a band&#8211;possibilities include mariachi feat. singing cactus, hip hop ensemble, glam metal band. Then, using text-to-singing technology, they can insert their company name and info into an ad reminiscent of what you might see on a tiny town’s television channel (read: tacky).  Then, of course, the jingle-maker shares their fresh video along with its tacked-on FedEx promotion.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Maybe it’s just me, but the example video is going to be stuck in my head for the entire day. “Let’s fiesta like zillionaires!!” If FedEx’s strategy backfires and inspires a rise in bizarre singing ads, a ton of 90’s bands are going to have lucrative side-jobs.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Credits after the jump.</p>
