It has been 12 years since the debut of the PC-based, sci-fi strategy game StarCraft, which has sold more than 11 million copies, captured critical acclaim (widely cited in industry lists for being one of the top games of all time) and created an impressive long tail of gameplay from its fans.

According to data from Nielsen IAG, a CoverGirl tie-in with the CW’s “America’s Next Top Model” was the most recalled new “hybrid” ad during the four weeks between October 27 and November 23, 2008.
Hybrid Ads include customized ads, branded promos, vignettes, interstitials, and micro-series where sponsor messaging is combined with program or entertainment content.
Recall refers to the percentage of television viewers who can recall, within 24 hours, a hybrid ad’s sponsor.
