FASHEMATICS - This hilarious website is pure genius, it’s like I finally understand the concept of addition. Voila!
Twitter fanatics will adore this pair of “sexy, funny and flirty follow me” thigh high stockings, but while I have to admit it’s cute and well humorous, I’m not sure if I (or anybody I know IRL) would actually don these and leave the house. But it’s sold out on Etsy, so could be just me? What do you think?
100% ADORABLE. If I were a baby mama, I’d definitely be getting some of these right now.
Created by JWT (New York) for Huggies Diapers.
Steve Jobs prank calls Starbucks.
DUDE, I INVENTED THE FRIGGIN IPHONE. HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT?
Kia riding on the awwwww factor of the hamsters. Watch the full series of the “Kia Soul” advertisements on their official youtube page.
Ogilvy Dubai uses 30 slogans from 30 different brands to make a hiring speech. I love when ad agencies create their own “advertisements”. It’s just always so FUN.
The Conservative party’s new campaign features opposition leader Gordon Brown. I saw the banner at St. George’s Wharf and laughed so hard, came home and quickly googled it. Have to say that the Conservatives are doing hell of a fine job gathering attention, and personally I love it! Even if only because hell would sooner freeze over before we see anything remotely like this back home in Singapore. So there, props on the campaign. Visit the Conservative Party’s website to view more of their posters and the justification behind them. What do you guys think? Love it or hate it?
(Disclaimer: I’m not a supporter or hater of either party)
Fun, catchy and definitely cute- it’s impossible to be resist hamsters that can drive better than me, heck it’s impossible to resist hamster that can drive and dance!!! Created for Kia by L.A. agency, David&Goliath.
“Let us keep dreaming of a better world”, by Belgium Men’s magazine, Che. Even I have to admit I kind of loved it, from a marketing point of view at least :) Men, keep dreaming.
“School’s out” video from Audi’s “Identity Theft” campaign.
Developed by Euro RSCG for Mc Donald’s in France. Could be better executed imo, but the concept is very cute.
I was shopping at Carnaby Street one day when the window display at Diesel caught my eye. I took a photo of it, and then forgot all about it till I saw it again at Covent Garden, got really intrigued and came home to google it.
“Like balloons we are filled with hopes and dreams. But over time a single sentence creeps into our lives. Don’t be stupid. It’s the crusher of possibility. It’s the world’s greatest deflator. The world is full od smart people. Doing all kinds of smart things. That’s Smart.
Well, we’re with stupid. Stupid is the relentless pursuit of a regret free life. Smart may have the brains, but stupid has the balls. The smart might recognize things for how they are. The stupid see things for how they could be. Smart critiques. Stupid creates. The fact is if we didnt have stupid thoughts wed have no interesting thoughts at all. Smart may have the plan, but stupid has the stories. Smart may have the authority but stupid has one hell of a hangover. Its not smart to take risks, its stupid. To be stupid is to be brave. The stupid isnt afraid to fail. The stupid know there are worse things than failure, like not even trying. Smart had one good idea, and that idea was stupid. You can’t outsmart stupid. So don’t even try. Remember only stupid can be truly brilliant.”
It’s absolutely witty and inspired! Diesel recognizes that consumers today want and need so more, not just an advertisement telling them what they want or what to buy. This goes against the norms and offers something fresh. Along with the myriad of beautifully designed print ads, Diesel rolled out this campaign with a competition looking for 100 creative individuals with “stupid” acts to be featured in a campaign music video. My favourite campaign in a long time, and if I were you I’d click HERE to see more. BE STUPID!!!!
Okay, so this type of print ad has been done to death by condom companies the world over. But you have to admit: it works. I’m guessing the good people from Ogilvy Redworks (my home country, Singapore) are appealing to the the fun loving nature with it’s bright colours and dirty humour.
From their “walk-in fridge” to the Jennifer Aniston commercial, I’ve always loved the playfulness of Heineken ads. Does this one border on tasteless, dragging a controversial and sensitive issue like suicide into the equation? Personally, I think they managed to pull it off just right- a bit of harmless fun.
