Play-Doh (the next Sony ‘Colour Like No Other’ ad) is being teased. The site is here. And the teaser for the ad is here. I know it’s a bit underwhelming as pre-launch activity goes, but I’m looking forward to seeing the ad. Should be a stunner from what little I’ve heard.

Apologies for the obscure picture – I was searching around on Taxonomy and found this stunning pictogram of the similarities at early embryonic stage of different vertebrates! Sourced from this rather informative site on classifying life. Anyway, back to the usual topic… Comms. In this case, digital work. We had an evening session at WCRS [...]

As we all read about the fortune being made for a tiny percentage of facebook being sold, we shouldn’t forget the relative might of YouTube. And here’s the reality… YouTube rules! It’s part of a bigger shift going on (I think) – which is the slow move to video on the Internet being part of [...]

I missed out on the Halo 3 launch party last night – despite getting an invite. And, therefore, missed out on a lot – including a celebrity appearance from Christian Slater himself.

I was sent this – and my thanks go to Jerome for sending it on to me. There’s a smidge of that fantastic Gears of War ad to it. And I mean that as a compliment – it’s the juxtaposition of the music and the visuals. I think I spotted some of those flying Honda [...]

Last week, I went to a debate hosted by the RSA – entitled the “Great Digital Seduction” which is, in itself, a wonderful title. There were two speakers: Andrew Keen – the man who wrote the book “The Cult of the Amateur: How Today’s Internet Is Killing Our Culture and Assaulting Our Economy” and Tim [...]

Viral piece leading to a game from Wilkinson. It’s so cheesy, it’s kind of good.

Makes me want to try BA again. Although I’ve never found them to be as warm as the Virgin Atlantic crew, who really do spoil you. But “upgrade” is a nice idea. Not to be poo-poo’d! More than that, though, I love that they’ve uploaded the ads themselves – made a YouTube user of British [...]
