As a dog owner this service is something I have been waiting for for a long time. the Website Petsicon allows you to come up with a diagnose for what could be wrong with your dog according to the symptoms he or she shows.
Talk about a useful website: RunPee.com is a service that gives you the right time for every movie to go to the bathroom and even gives you a short summary of what you would miss if you chose to follow the advice they give.
To start this post: The Channel 4 competition has been closed for some time now, but recently browsing through the winners was truly an eye-opener and we don’t want you to loose out on this.
We have to admit that on the first look this ad has something of a racist tone to it, but at a closer look you’ll see that this is actually a clever twist. Found in Sweden, these ads actually showcase McDonalds as one of the most diverse employers in the country, without loosing their funny tone of voice so typical for the McD campaigns across the globe.
Have you ever asked yourself “Where is all this Social Media stuff going” or “What am I supposed to do with all these new Communication Channels”? We provide you with the answer right here in this little presentation:
This might be the worst case of Freudian vision we have ever seen. “Maoam”, a famous German chewing gum slash candy brand, has revamped their on-pack graphics and caught a lot of heat for the alleged pornographic nature of them. Have a look and decide for yourself if you agree with these statements.
It’s a little odd that one of the best Outdoor campaigns I have ever seen comes from the year 1989, but I’m sure you will agree with me when I say the campaign showcased would work as good or, through increased communication between people, even better today. The campaign was initiated in the US city of Boston, and it led to crazy amounts of unpaid PR within the city limits and nationally.
A couple of days ago we stumbled over these videos on Youtube, which show an old (2002) BBC documentary, the Century of the Self, about the early days of Marketing, Advertising and the power of psychoanalysis. If you are into Marketing at all or just want to experience how companies think when they develop advertising, you should watch these.
As we said countless times before, the best commercials are the ones where you don’t see the product advertised until very late in the process. This one is a 10/10 in that regard!
A while ago we stumbled upon Golden Gaytime, an Australian Ice Cream brand with a name so unfortunate that it would be the end for many other products. Not Golden Gaytime, though. By actually taking up the name and making fun about it in an ironic way, the brand is quickly becoming something of a national heritage.
We agree that Wolfram Alpha has been a little bit of a disappointment to some people, but as far as we are concerned we got the answer we needed from them. Just see for yourself…
On several occasions we have showed how a successful billboard campaign has to look like, the Australian Childhood Foundation has introduced another great example this week in Melbourne.
In the past we always covered the newest Coca-Cola commercials and, given this tradition, here is the newest spot out of Atlanta. Subtitled “La La La Yeah Yeah Yeah” this one is already one of our favourites, especially because it’s so wonderfully random and creative.
When we wrote about how to make your outdoor advertising more appealing and create maximum impact on costumers, one point we mentioned was “choose the right location”. Here is an example to illustrate what exactly we meant with that.
