Once again i’m off to another ad:tech, this time in the town where it all started – San Francisco. There are parties every night this week and some killer speakers lined up for the tues-thu. conference. If anyone’s interested in a meet-up, feel free to message me on twitter or shoot me an email, using the contact link in the top navigation will let you send me one.

Here’s an erie new spot by Fonecta titled “Immigrant” that tells the story of a man who traveled the globe making a fortune in various industries though never found any luck in finding a wife to bear him a child. Looking back over his life, he realizes that although he may not lack in financial resources, he lacks a true heir to his name and fortune. It then takes us back to his home country where he is trying to reach out to the one known relative so that he can leave his entire estate to him once he passes….the phone rings…..the young man looks at the unknown phone number on the screen…and hangs up.
“An unknown number could be the most important of your life.”
It then promotes Fonecta’s service where you can text a phone number to 16400 and they’ll tell you who called.
I thought this was a creative way to build-up the story-line around this promotion, the repetitive soundtrack even adds to the anticipation as the spot progresses. This spot was created by SEK Grey, Helsinki. Kudos.

Here’s the latest episode of Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis. It features guest Jon Hamm, lead actor in AMC’s Mad Men. We get to seeanother side of him that isn’t really present in the character that he portrays in the show….good stuff.
Overall it’s a pretty funny skit but for those of you who are bigZach Galifianakisfans, I think you’ll especially love this.
