New Sprint 4G Commercial

I just got back from the US and noticed this fantastic commercial by Sprint.  Was thoroughly hooked every time I saw it.  I wonder if all of the data in here is legit, I found it interesting regardless...

Man vs. Banner Ads

Oh come on...we all know how true this is...

Ace Laundry Detergent

Great print ad for Ace laundry detergent...evidently the whites have it.

Live to work or work to live?

Good campaign for recoveringworkaholics.com in the UK...This one seems to hit home more than it likely should!

The Axe Effect

Anger Spreads Just as Virally with Prius' New Viral Ad

“Anthem,” a recent Prius ad that pokes a bit of fun at Fresno, CA (a city that has had a hard time shaking its reputation as a pass-through tourist stop) has just been pulled, thanks largely to the Digg Effect. After having appeared on AutoBlogGreen less than a week ago, the blog post made it to Digg’s front page in a matter of days and attracted the attention of several discontent Fresnites, then California Senator Dianne Feinstein, and quickly Toyota, who immediately pulled the ad and issued an apology. After admitting to their “serious error in judgment,” Toyota even said they would consider building a plant in Fresno after the city’s Council Member Henry T. Perea said he would be “willing to forgive Toyota if they located a Prius plant here in Fresno.” See what all the fuss is about below.

Sony Bravia Egypt

I have to say, Sony has really started to release some great ads in the last year.  Here's another one to add to the collection. 

didja.com

An intersting concept...a web portal that only serves ads, that is.  NBC Universal has just recently announced plans for a video portal that views advertising AS the entertainment called didja.com  Not a bad idea, I suppose...I would likely tune in every once in a while.  Interesting though, in a time when media experts are trying to figure out a way to navigate around the TiVo epidemic of users simply skipping ads.  Now users who WANT to see ads, and moreso, ads as entertainment, will have their cake and be able to, metaphorically, eat it too.  Why might this idea of a 100% ad based content site actually work?  Well, for one, it will guarantee that the users who go their will legitimately want to be viewing ads...thus ensuring an incredible increase in ad efficiency/spend ratios for brands. 

I'm sold...but let's see how it all plays out...will this just be another corporate attempt to be part of web 2.0?   let's see...

Subliminal Messaging

A short [but fascinating] video on the power of subliminal messaging.  I really hope this video is on the up-and-up ... if so, it's incredibly interesting.

Dove : Real Beauty

I had seen this quite some time ago, but came across it again recently.  A simple, but great spot...
