Yaris is on the Line
(See what I did there?) Toyota Yaris has just launched a new commercial by Badillo Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi, Puerto Rico. And like the Yaris, the commercial is short and fun. But really it does nothing to sell the car. … Continue reading →

Sorry, What’s Your Name?
I got to spend the day with my coworker Trevor. It’s his birthday today. I got him a card with a cat on it (shocking) and then learned he does not like cats. (Whoops!) So now I decided to hunt … Continue reading →

Big Cereal for Big Mouths
I spent the weekend dog-sitting. I took Lollie, the black lab, to the Endowment Lands, Spanish Banks, the dog parks, the beach, you name it, we went there. I gave her back last night at 8pm and I was exhausted… So … Continue reading →

Hey Kids! Get Your Tickets!
I’ve always enjoyed the budgets of lottery clients. They allow for some fun, bigger-than-life advertising. But how Minnasota State Lottery decided to use their ad dollers has left me scratching my head. The following commercials created by Olsen look like … Continue reading →
Which Way to the Bathroom?
This ad, produced by Markenfilm, gave me a laugh. From what I can gather, it’s telling us that train travel is the best method of travel if you are a drunk, rowdy football fan. My loose translation, based on three years of … Continue reading →
This is How You Camp
I’m sure you’ve all seen the Super Bowl ads by now. They’re all over the internet, so I won’t be posting them here. Instead, let’s take a look at an ad released in Australia last fall for Volkswagen, created by … Continue reading →

Don’t Forget to Stretch!
In business – especially advertising – some days can feel like you’re running a marathon. That is why I relate to these new ads for the British Chamber of Commerce 12th Annual Business Awards. Sure, the idea has been done … Continue reading →
It’s Not Crazy, It’s Sports
Another winner from Wieden+Kennedy. Men do a lot of things that I will never understand. Like betting on sports. And sometimes, they make outlandish and ridiculous bets with their friends over sporting events. The losers can suffer great consequences. This hilarious commercial for ESPN … Continue reading →

The Tipping Pot
Pot Noodle. They always have such excellent commercials. And since today is Retro Day (yes, I just made that up), we’re going to enjoy the Pot Noodle Tipping Pot commercial from way back in 2008. It’s a clever and fun … Continue reading →

1-888 WTF?
Someone at Kitchen, Leo Burnett, Oslo knows how to sell a ballsy concept to their clients. There are two short spots on this video. One is “Hair”, the other is “Cat”. I really like the first one. Reminds me a … Continue reading →

Riding Dirty
Both my parents have motorcycle licenses. When I was a kid, we used to take long road trips with their bikes. In fact, I’m surprised I’m still alive considering all the times I fell asleep on the back of the … Continue reading →

Hold Onto Your Steak & Cheese
I forgot to blog yesterday. I felt bad for a few minutes, downloaded the WordPress app for my iPhone. And, well, that was about as far as I got. But don’t fret my pets. I plan on making it up … Continue reading →
Why Try Harder?
Yesterday was a holiday. I spent the day digging my way down to the bottom of a yogurt container filled of leftover stuffing (thanks mom). Evil stuff, leftovers. You really didn’t need to know that. It has nothing to do with today’s post, … Continue reading →

Hot, Steaming Cup of Funny
I like this commercial for the sadistic twist, rather than any genius advertising attributes. But the more I watched it, the more I laughed. And it began to resonate with me. The facial expressions delivered by the man on the left make … Continue reading →

Shut Your Mouth!
I was doing some research on pharmaceutical marketing launches and came across this little beauty from Saatchi & Saatchi. Some may think this ad for Otrivin Nasal Spray is rude, but it’s so true. And another one in the series;
Lack of Protein Ruffles Feathers
I’ve recently given up meat. Anything with a face, that is. (My dad’s solution to this was to “Just cut the head off!” Bless.) I decided to try this meat-cleanse for thirty days. I’m on day twenty now, and the … Continue reading →

Another Reason Not To Get A Cat
Today’s campaign is for New Zealand Lotteries and is called “Lucky Dog”. It comes to us from DDB, Auckland. Some of the most creative commercials are for lotteries and this is no exception. It’s very cinematic and engaging. The dog is perfectly … Continue reading →
Same Stink, Different Pile
Old Spice. Congratulations on your “I’m on a boat” viral marketing campaign. It will be difficult to top that one… what’s that? You’re going to try anyways? With a white guy who gets his lower half chewed off by an alligator … Continue reading →

Cats: The Cat’s Pajamas
Refreshed and recharged after a four-day weekend. And now the sun is out. It doesn’t get much better than this. Except, perhaps, if I had a basket of kittens. As pets, I prefer cats. And here’s a great series of … Continue reading →
