Sony hires new advertising agency to replace Kevin Butler firm

sony

Sony Computer Entertainment America has signed up with New York advertising agency Bartle, Bogle, Hegarty. GamesIndustry reports Sony considered “outstanding” proposals from Anomaly, 180LA and former agency Deutsch before settling on the new team. Deutsch was responsible for the successful and popular Kevin Butler campaigns and its wit will be much missed; unfortunately it seems we’ve seen the last of our erstwhile vice president of everything. New agency BBH will probably have quite a lot of work on its hands in the near future.

LittleBigPlanet Karting offers Kevin Butler pre-order bonus

20120418lbpkart_kb

Pre-order LittleBigPlanet Karting through Gamestop or Amazon and you’ll score a bonus DLC pack, which features a Kevin Butler themed Sack Boy and an executive golf kart. Yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds. Sony hasn’t announced an exclusivity deal on the bonus, so keep an eye on other retailers, too. The racing spin-off is due in late October, and as with any game featuring a cameo from Sony’s Vice President of Everything, is a PlayStation exclusive.

Thanks, Shack.

20111103kevinbutler

To honour the release of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Kevin Butler is offering $10,000 to whoever has the greatest physical endurance and free time.

To win, all you need to do is sit in front of your webcam, holding your arm out, for longer than anybody else. No, really, but the current champion has over two hours under his belt. The promo also offers $500 daily prizes.

Watch Butler’s fierce introduction and try your luck at the promotion’s website – but be advised, only US residents are eligible, and you may want to glance over the rules and FAQ – no fake hands are eligible.
