The viral advertising campaign for Promethius has started to bring out some really interesting material. The 2023 TED Talk (backed by TED itself) by Peter Weyland is really quite impressive in the way it plays on the TED setup for Talks. It’s quite amazing TED would allow it’s brand to be used in this type of advertising. This also links up with the viral corporate site for Weyland Industries.
