ass-vertising | ahead of our time but clients not brave enough
Damn it! We had this idea many moons ago when working with some well known vodka and beer brands!! Unfortunately they thought we were fookin crazy.

Digital goes into bridal: hot wedding trends for 2007: Daily bridal blogs (imagine how many “I guess I’ll do it myself then” statements there will be), personal URLs on invites, online RSVP, live webcasts, digital music, streaming video (I sincerely hope this doesn’t extend to honeymoons?)

web 2.0 + star wars
Ever noticed how web 2.0 companies all have silly sounding names?
