Don’t ask Bing for directions…

March 8, 2010 by Steak Marketing

According to several articles posted today, Bing’s TV campaign in the UK will feature ‘a woman seeking directions to Euston station.’

Unfortunately, the top result on Bing for ‘directions to Euston Station’ currently provides directions to St. Pancras Station, followed by hotel sites. In fact, there are no ‘directions to Euston Station’ anywhere on the front page.

Oh dear. We’d advise Bing to attend Steak’s presentation on integrating search with other marketing channels at the IAB on Wednesday 17th March.
