You don’t have to love American Football or understand it to feel the potency of this spot.
Although, if you do, it’s probably even better.
Watch this…

Lovely little web site that works out a good walking route, then tells you the calorie burn-off, walking times and CO2 avoided.

Now, here’s something I actually played with…
It’s from our digital guys, although I didn’t know that until I’d been through the thing. Honest.

Goodby Silverstein & Partners just launched a new campaign (more of a teaser set, maybe) and web site for Hyundai…
It’s a classy take on what it means to be dedicated to customers and your product.

This is one of the best stories I’ve read on Creativity Online…
A Partizan animator, called Nicolas, was playing with a couple of new software programs on his Mac. And tried out something on UFO’s. Then posted it for fun. Prompting a new wave of UFO chatter.
See the video here - looks cool. Love the [...]

The old adage was that there’s no such thing as bad PR.
Yet here we have a Miss USA contestant who stumbled on a question - you could think a number of things, one being that it’s pretty intense pressure when you’re up on the stage and she just crumbled a bit under the pressure. Whatever [...]

As critiqued by Bob Garfield on Advertising Age…
And correctly slated, in my opinion, because it’s so ostentatious.
