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”

reviving tango | an account planning think tank
I’ve been reading Vincent Thome’s blog for a while. I can’t remember how I found his stuff but I like it. 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”
london marathon viral
Nice viral from (I think) my old chums at tmw on the day after the marathon. Good bit of user generated content too to upload your own videos and photos from the event.
tread lightly & plan a | earth day
Yesterday was Earth Day. I’ll try & plop a few posts out today on some green things. Two companies have stuck out recently with some big green messages and commitments. First, Eurostar with their new Tread Lightly initiative. Eurostar has made a commitment to reduce emissions by 25%. As a train operator, surely they’re inContinueContinue reading “tread lightly & plan a | earth day”
poor timing but nice smells
An email from Boss Fragrances arrived in my inbox yesterday to show their sponsorship of the England cricket team, update on the world cup and offer me a free sample and, if I splash out (get it – oh, yes) £30 on Boss fragrances not only will I smell divine but I can also getContinueContinue reading “poor timing but nice smells”
green motors: creative challenge
The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership has launched a creative challenge to the ad industry. Can they create sexy motoring ads about being green? I think Honda already have it licked. Nice bit of bullshit bingo in the intro too: “It will provide a platform for an interchange of ideas …”
