socially (ir)responsible advertising
Couldn’t get away with these ads for Flirt Vodka in the UK drinks market as it promotes sexual promiscuity & drinking. The caption says “she’ll be choosing for a long time” – filthy minx. More examples here, here, here and here. And this TV campaign for the King of Condoms in France has some slightlyContinueContinue reading “socially (ir)responsible advertising”
it’s all about upgrades – even in jail
We all like something better than the next person. If they have a standard card, we want a Gold. And then Platinum. And if we’re really lucky… black. This loyalty/upgrade/privilege routine is so ingrained in our consumer psyche that its stretched into many parts of our lives. But who would have thought it would enterContinueContinue reading “it’s all about upgrades – even in jail”

As a relative newcomer to the advertising genre, he’s been on a number of courses funded by the good folks at DDB (those behind the VW campaigns of genius) and always pings a blogContinueContinue reading “reviving tango | an account planning think tank”
new virals
This just went live from our house actually for HP’s latest whizz bang product. The guy’s eyes c. 10 seconds from the end scare me. But you can have lots of interactive fun. This builds on the HUGE success of the Tea Running viral which must have appeared in every industry rag every side ofContinueContinue reading “new virals”
admit it, we all steal great decks
And Slide Share has made it easier for us to find new and exciting ways to liven up our dull old PowerPoint. Although I have recently invested 55 of your English pounds in the Keynote software (and Pages) for my Mac at home so I can hopefully create something more visually exciting. When I canContinueContinue reading “admit it, we all steal great decks”
