OK. You start off thinking “What The…??!!”
Then you begin to twig it.
And then you smile. Well, I did.
It has nothing to do with Cadburys Dairy Milk, but you can bet more people will discuss this ad (and Dairy Milk) than anything else for quite some time… I won’t say too much more because you have [...]

A while ago, Russell wrote a fantastic piece on light pollution. Then he followed it up recently with this thought about micro-campaigns…
Then I came across this image today, while reading Right-Half Chow.
I won’t blather on about it - but they’re all worth looking at or reading…

Yes indeed. Every bit as scary as you think. And, yes, I know this was released ages ago - and I found it through the awards review in Creativity.
But, just in case some of you hadn’t seen it before either… here is Hairy Mail!
Brought to you by “Truth” - so, really it’s just more great [...]

Great Quote from George Bryant…

Sorry to be a killjoy about this one, but I’m not sure.
Beautifully shot. Stirring soundtrack. BUT…
It might just be me, but I felt like it glamourised shooting - rather than putting me off, it reminded me of the Jackal scene (original movie) and other cool shooting clips - wouldn’t it be great to actually shoot [...]
