Google has debuted a cool new ad for Google Maps, a service that rarely gets advertised, it's too well known for it to need it. But Google is doing more and more ads for its products and once you see the video, you'll be glad they do.
Google is returning to a familiar theme with the latest Google Maps ad, depicting digital experiences and products, with real-world objects. It did it with its famous series of ads for Chrome and it's doing it again with Maps.
The ad pictures Google Maps as a classic Labyrinth game where a ball, in this case the glowing blue ball from Google Maps, navigates a maze to reach a certain goal. In the ad, the maze is the city or the inside of a mall.
Google is actually working on a
digital version of the game, very similar to the one in the video, to be launched for Google+ next month.
