Recently I have been taken smitten by the new ads out for The Natural Confectionery Co. by Fallon London. They just make you chuckle and are somewhat endearing. Also knowing that ads can still be produced using strong bits of copy over major art direction, in both commercial and press ads makes me happy as […]

I hate advertising when…
When I’m breaking my neck to check out an ad (in this particular scenario, b/c I couldn’t make out the image) and I trip over my own foot. Bastards. Ad was poster for Oasis’ new album. Pic to to follow as this is my first post from the iPhone & I’m not that advanced yet. […]
Diamonds in the rough
Lately I’ve been pretty disappointed with the ads I’ve been seeing. Not just on television I suppose, but I am going to focus on that particular area here. That is until quite recently. The ad above just launched this week and is a 122 second long ad done for Hovis bread, created by Miles Calcraft […]
Schweptastic?

Director […]
Brief: Get men to buy pregnancy tests
When this ad first aired on television, I was all but shocked. I thought, surely this can’t be aimed at women? Make an already awkward situation even worse by turning into some kind of sci-fi thriller preview? As if being an alien incubator isn’t creepy enough or having to go buy one and take it […]
Audi A4 – Can you unmask it?
I’ve only driven by the 48 sheet for this ad twice and they were in two different locations, so I’m not too sure if the type is just very light or if it somehow gets darker. I haven’t been able to find anything on it. Inform me! Update: I’m convinced they definitely do. I drove […]
Do you like it RAW?
Not a big Pepsi fan. Nor a big Coke fan either. I prefer American Dr. Pepper (not owned by Coke inc) – but don’t even get me started on that – needless to say, living in the U.K., my addiction is not fed. However, I must say, that apart from the ‘Happy Factory’ by coke, […]
Fun Stuff
This Ad for Arcor bubble gum ad done by Leo Burnett in Sao Paulo. I used to have Thanksgiving and Halloween decorations made with this stuff. I loved them. Such a strange and captivating material. A very clever way to put it to use. via ibelieveinadv
Good Question
This is great. The introductory question actually made me go “hrmmm….?” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-qUh3a3Fpc] The funny thing is, I just asked my husband this morning a similar question: If those that can’t do teach, what do teachers that can’t teach do? thanks to brand dna for the video
I'm Ba-ack… With an Ad of course…
Good god it’s been months! Time flies when you’re heads spinning at 10,000mph. I’m in between terrific opportunities for my career and I’m needing to take a deep breath and have a wee think before I head in and attemt to crack this brief I’m on. Breath in… This is just my chance to show […]
