Stella Artois - The Race

Brent — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:43:53 +0000

Over the past two years, Stella Artois has consistently impressed me with their advertising campaigns. Whether it’s the work airing here in North America or any of the campaigns found across Europe, there is always something clever about the creative that they use. In this piece we watch two Italian brothers fight to win a tandem [...]

AdRants Puts An Agency Rep. In Place

Brent — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:20:52 +0000

Angela Natividad from over at AdRants lays the smack down on a representative from IBD Brands, India who apparently has a problem with sending out their agency spec. work (posing as approved creative currently running), then trying to retract the content by claiming it wasn’t theirs. This happens more often than I’d like to admit, [...]

Resistance 2 - Graduation BBQ

Brent — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:26:23 +0000

Here’s a short little promo for Resistance 2 that asks you where you were when the aliens attacked…. apparently this poor sap was at his high school graduation. Anyhow, check it out for yourself. It’s an interesting little piece for the video-game. Credits: Title: Graduation BBQ Client: Resistance 2 Agency: TBWA, London Creative Director: Al Young Creatives: Lee Tan, Graeme Bowman, [...]

Snickers - Tag

Brent — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:22:20 +0000

Here’s a rather odd new commercial for Snickers from BBDO Moscow where we learn that eating a Snickers candy bar can potentially transform you into a metallic beast capable of jumping off a three story office-complex without so much as a scratch. They should stick to the Mr.T cameos, those were spots we all could [...]

Circuit City files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Brent — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:23:25 +0000

Above is one of the more recent spots to come out of the once-giant electronics retail store, courtesy of Euro RSCG Worldwide. Too little too late perhaps as Circuit City announced today that they were filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy. This will allow them to hold off creditors while they pray for a Christmas Miracle. Earlier [...]

DuPont - Open Science

Brent — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:59:12 +0000

Here’s a short little animated bit for DuPont explaining what Open Science is and how it affects both you and the rest of the world. This was created by Ogilvy, NYC and produced by Stink, London (MassMarket did the VFX).

Toyota Corolla - Ninja Kittens (Part One)

Brent — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:31:59 +0000

Here’s an interesting new online campaign for the Toyota Corolla featuring kung-fu fighting mutant cats. The first piece of the three part series, 9 Lives and Counting, shows us an action packed heist and the resulting high-speed getaway. No worries though, the second and third installments in the series should be released soon using equally [...]

www.ismccainpresident.com And www.isobamapresident.com Have Changed

Brent — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:45:38 +0000

So a few months ago (05/2008) someone was clever enough to purchase isobamapresident.com, just sitting on it for obvious reasons…. Then just recently (06/2008) what looks like a completely separate individual/group went ahead and snagged the opposite, www.ismccainpresident.com. Well, as you’ve all probably heard by now (or if you’re on twitter then you’ve been hearing [...]

The 2008 Angela Natividad USA Tribute Tour

Brent — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:59:27 +0000

So if your job has anything even remotely to do with advertising, social media, marketing, PR, porn, blah blah blah.. quiet honestly, you could shovel sh*t for a living and you would still fall under the target group for ad:tech NYC. Now I don’t mean that as an insult, in fact, it’s quite the compliment. [...]

Brent — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 05:07:08 +0000

Meet iList. Launching today out of their über-secret ’stealth mode,’ this new online classifieds service hopes to give Craigslist a much needed run for their money. The whole angle that 25 year old CEO Chris Abad hopes to monopolize on is the ability to integrate listings with popular social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed, [...]
