Posting here for posterity; reminders for us all that there are good things in this world to celebrate. Target (and their Cat & Jack brand) did a bang-up job on this ad campaign. The picture tells most of the story but you can read mom’s words here if you want: https://d.pr/s3T0nh
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m pretty bad about flying by the seat of my pants. I make plenty of decisions based on feelings and intuition without exploring the ramifications or the consequences. It can range from simple slip-of-the-tongue type stuff all the way to business decisions. Knowing this is only half the…
Guess it won’t be long before I say goodbye to my junky/old/no-good iPhone 3G and replace it with the 3GS for use of apps like this: Augmented Reality will quickly become a big deal in the next couple of years. PS. My phone is neither old (6-months) or junky but isn’t that exactly how advertising…
While I am all about utilizing social media to market your product and I am also in favor of using it to garner as much feedback as possible from the consumer, there is a limit to which I would take it. I’d say the creator’s of the new Joshua Jackson film One Week crossed that…
For all of the liking/linking I do of Sony Bravia and their great TV ads, they should be providing me one for the trouble. In the latest they have moved away from the ‘Colour like no other’ to showing off the smoothest motion picture possible on a TV. In doing so they built the world’s…
Remember New Coke? I was a tad young but I do remember the stirring that it caused when the Coca-Cola company decided to “update” their coke flavor over two decades ago and the fact that it didn’t take them long to re-introduce Coke Classic. It was a bad move on Coke’s part to take their…
When a typeface gets its own advertisement, it has to be good. Example: you’ve never seen a Comic Sans ad, I’m just saying…
This will more than likely spread by email/twitter pretty rapidly but it is pretty tough not to smile when you watch it. Now you can be first to send the email…
I attempted to post this earlier in the day and just realized I created it as a page. Sure did mess up my navigation. Some Internet goodness from today: Ah, the good ol’ days: http://betamaxmas.com/ via Snook An entertaining 5 minutes showing what it is really like for men in the ‘doghouse.’ via Rob…
NOTE: Sorry for the length, it’s a Sunday evening rant. Initially my thought this year was to purchase everyone on my Christmas list the same thing this year. Not because it would make my life super-easy but mainly because I feel that no matter what position you are in financially, it’s a good read and…
A few of my favorite recent camera phone pics. Cameras on phones, who would need one of those? Swinging kid.
Possibly ‘shopped.
Fantastic. No doubt that this will spread across the Interwebs pretty fast, it’s likely you will see/get it more than once. http://www.dothetest.co.uk/
…about mistakes like this: An actual printed box for a Nintendo DS game called Imagine Babies. I could care less about the game, but I sure do love that they were too cheap to even purchase the rights to the image of the two babies on the bottom-right! Last time I checked, an image on…
Is this a joke? http://www.christvertising.com/ If so, I don’t get it. At first I thought it was real but then I watched the video on the Where page. (via)
As I have said before, I am in the business of making your business look better. It’s what I do. If you were to hire me, part of my job would entail helping you find the right ways to market your business. For my business, I have a sticker that I could put on my…
I won’t be using their typesetters anytime soon…
I’d only ever seen the ‘Injured Bad’ video from my buddy Rob a year or so ago but apparently there are others in the ad campaign. These are examples of good advertising. Trigon BlueCross BlueShield (30 seconds each) Injured Bad
