SilverJet And The Insider Joke…
Posted in Advertising on Oct 29th, 2007 Comments
I missed this in the actual Rugby World Cup – where it ran, apparently.
It’s a slightly serious rip-off (I say serious because it starts as a ‘remember this’ and then ends making a slightly serious point about SilverJet – so you don’t laugh so much as feel you’ve seen it before) – the people [...]
Sprint have launched a site extolling the virtues of the most expensive phone in the world – for Billionaires…
The video intro is funny – explaining the “Free Island” offer.
But there’s some great touches hidden further down – including a “del.icio.us” rip-off called “S.crumtio.us” – very good!
eBay have launched a new micro-site, done by Creative Artists Agency out in the US.
It’s fun. It’s good. Enough said.

Lexus Pop-Up Book…
Posted in Advertising on Oct 23rd, 2007 Comments
When I saw that this ad had knocked Sony Bravia off pole position on Creativity Online’s top TV spots ranking (Bottom of the page), I had to watch it.
And it’s good – charming, subtle and playful – it feels quite different for Lexus and that’s no bad thing…

Stella Artois…
Posted in Advertising, Digital on Oct 22nd, 2007 Comments
Stella have launched a new site – here.
It’s an indulgent (and I mean that in a good way) romp through the world of Stella Artois, starting with a film in many chapters – allowing you to break and enter the site or carry on watching. I haven’t had a chance to look around the whole [...]
Time To Stop Being Petty…
Posted in Advertising on Oct 19th, 2007 Comments
Picture comes from a lovely little site. Called tinyvices.com – also worth looking at.
Is it wrong if Sony Play-Doh was inspired by artists?
After all, that was a static image, and the ad is a moving thing – that alone is a leap of imagination.
Was it a sin that a Gorilla drumming had appeared in some [...]
Mother Does Post Office…
Posted in Advertising on Oct 19th, 2007 Comments
Mother haven’t done much that isn’t interesting in the past year (well, ever, really). And this definitely falls into that category. You have to admire them for taking on a British institution and being so, well, British with it!
It’s a lovely, crafted, humorous take on the Post Office – slight reminiscent of old British comedy [...]

Sony Bravia Pyramid…

New Sony Bravia ad from Y&R Brands Singapore.
Balls with yarn…
Still lovely, and probably dramatic in the regions it runs (assuming they haven’t seen ‘Balls’), but not quite as fresh when you have seen the three Fallon ads. Makes it clearer why you need to follow up Balls with Paint, then Play-Doh. Still fun to watch, [...]
