This made me laugh and is easy to relate to from both sides. I think Vodaphone and their agency did well with this.

Brain Powered Audience
I have come to my own conclusion that advertising people make ads almost to suit/for others in advertising as much as for the general public. Although is stated that the agencies with the most awards get more work and are the best, I would like to see the actual figures on how much more chocolate [...]
Naturally funny
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 [...]
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 [...]
Kubrick Season
Love the Man; Love the ad; looking forward to the ‘season’. Stanley Kubrick Season begin’s the 15th thru the 25th of July on More4. Finally, some salvation from all this bloody rain! Thanks Stan @ BrandDNA
A Kindred Spirit in a world full of Normals

For instance, now I’mlooking at my hat and thinking it was a human being that clearly didn’tdo so well in [...]
Addams Family M&Ms TV Commercial
I saw this ad whilst I was states and it made me smile. Silly me, it’s a year old! Ah well. I enjoy going to the states and comparing & contrasting the ads/billboards and uses of advertising. I’ve already written this post once and it didn’t show up, so other than saying I’m not sure [...]
Only If
On Tuesday the 6th of May, I went along to The Leith Agency’s launch of A.G. Barr’s new Irn Bru Ad. For those of you who may not know, Irn Bru is the cult soft drink of Scotland. They are given it in their first bottles as wee lads & lassies and are hooked. I [...]

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 [...]
