The Aimless Penguin
One girl One car One video camera …and a shitload of fun! Just over two months ago, a friend of mine from university, Renee McMahon went on a massive road trip around the states with her her Penguin Terry and created an amazing online presence surrounding her adventures. Entitled The Aimless Penguin, Renee filmed over [...]
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 [...]
The Big O
Brilliant. I can just imagine every 20-55yr old woman who has never had the pleasure of an orgasm, who writes letters into Cosmo magazine and compulsively purchases said magazine monthly to figure out how to find their “maybe it exists, maybe it doesn’t” g-spot, running out and purchasing boxes of this stuff. Well I say [...]
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 [...]
Know an online addict?
Unplug Your friends is a campaign created by the people at Meetup.com (whom I forgot existed actually, because it didn’t really work for me, but maybe will give it another go) to help people intervene in their mates lives if they feel they’ve become a bit too social network dependent. A little something to remind [...]
Lil' Gordon
Little Gordon, done by Rebel Virals for Caterer.com. One of the best virals I’ve seen since AKQA‘s Tipping Pot. Update: Only issue I might have with this… possibly, wee Gordon would have still had his Scottish accent at this age? no?
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
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 [...]
