Superbowl-commercials.org just posted a nice snippet.

The site lists all the superbowl advertisers, and seems to agree with us: kgb users are a more advanced species of man than the rest of us.

“kgb will have one 30-second spot to air in the third quarter that will focus on their “542542″ text-answer service as a way to get information from their “special agents” instead of searching for it like some kind of neanderthal.”

Read the full article here… and more to follow soon on our appearance on Entertainment Tonight last night…

kgb plays on the big brands’ turf

Monday, January 18th, 2010

New York PostWe’re running an ad during the third quarter of the Super Bowl XLIV game on February 7. We’re putting the finishing touches on several ads, one of which we’ll choose to air during the big game.

One of the ads we’ve produced stars Stephen and William Baldwin.

After only just celebrating our first anniversary, we’re already jumping in and advertising with the big brands during one of the biggest TV events of the year. So we have a lot to be excited about.

We’ve been getting lots of press about running an ad during the super bowl — almost 100 million people will be watching the game, and the ads are talked about for days afterward.

Here’s one of the articles, from the New York Post. Stay tuned for more news and info on kgb’s super bowl ads.

kgb_ Special Agents are tireless and relentless in their search for the answers to America’s questions.  And what does America want to know, you ask?  Well, today’s buzz centers on what’s in and out for 2010:

What’s on the “in” list for 2010?

Know more:

Here are some of the highlights of the Washington Post’s What’s In and Out for 2010:

The Jonas Brothers are out and Justin Bieber is in

Justin Bieber is the Canadian pop singer who began his career on YouTube.  His first album was released in November 2009.  Bieber is the only solo artist in Billboard history to have four singles from a debut album chart in the Top 40 of the Hot 100 before the album’s release.

Interval Training is out and Muscle Confusion is in

The muscle confusion training principle centers on ensuring that there is a wide variety in the workout.  Muscles grow because sets, reps, exercises and rest periods change to maximize effectiveness.

Fraud is out and Adultery is in

It is estimated that roughly 30 to 60% of all married individuals (in the United States) will engage in infidelity at some point during their marriage.  The internet, e-mail, and chat rooms are making it easier for people to engage in infidelity.

D-List is out and Defriend is in

The New Oxford American Dictionary ignited a debate among Facebook users when it chose “unfriend” as the word of the year for 2009. The word, according to the dictionary, is a verb meaning “to remove someone as a ‘friend’ on a social networking site such as Facebook.” Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes and his friends use the term “defriend” instead.

Small-Batch Bourbon is out and Sweet Tea Vodka is in

Jeremiah Sweet Tea Vodka is a flavored vodka the borders on a liquer due to its extreme sweetness.  It tastes like Southern sweet tea with the medium texture of vodka.

The Summer Scarf is out and the Circle Scarf is in

The unisex circle scarf is a seamless tubular design that comes in a wide variety of fabrics and can be worn many ways.

Rooftop Swimming Pools are out and Dumpster Swimming Pools are in

The “newish” garbage containers aka “dumpsters” are cleaned and lined in plastic, and a filtration system is installed, as on a regular above-ground pool.

kgb Agents– Tuscaloosa to Panama City

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Oh I come from Alabamy with a banjo on my knee.

Well, not quite.

Special Agent Damschroder here. Today was a day of twists and turns. We began the day in Tuscaloosa, AL, packing up out squad cars to head south to Florida for Spring Break. As we put our keys in the ignitions, we got a call from the local television station saying that they’d like to do a story on us. Off we sped to the University of Alabama to meet with the news team. After a couple victory laps and an interview, we headed out for Panama City Beach, Fl. We’ll be in Panama City Beach for most of the week, so come say hello and get yourself a special KGB T-shirt!
