Foursquare…
Overall, I think it's a truly innovative idea. It encourages spending, socializing, competition, and promotional discounting.

3D Street Art Impressions
3D Street Art is highly impressive. I stumbled upon these fantastic images of 3D street art the other day: Click through for more 3D epicness: Beautiful pieces of art, they are impressive. 3D Street Art used for Advertisement is even MORE impressive. As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to look up what companies have used 3D Street Art in their advertising. Blur, a new racing video game, is really ramping up their campaigns. People even love to interact with the murals, posting their photos to Twitter and Facebook – can you say free viral? More…
Fútbol Fetus: A March of Dimes PSA
This one speaks (kicks) for itself. I originally saw the Spanish version. I guess it was placed again for the World Cup (being an older commercial and all).
What if Septa stations could be branded?
Is everything for sale? I'm positive that certain other stops have absolutely no redeeming value. I think Broad & Pattison would be the exception and never the rule.

I don’t think it’s any coincidence that this guy looks like J.J. from Good Times. This ad was placed in the very same month that Good Times went off the air (August 1979). Back then ads probably had a longer lead time than they do now. Regardless, I don’t feel one way or another about McDonald’s “ethnic marketing.” Even today it ranges from “what were they thinking?” to others that are more tastefully done. About a month ago I went to a number of neighborhood flea markets and I was really taken back to see someone selling old ads individually…
La Vie Grand Marnier!
It looks good enough to frame.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this "campaign" was really launched by someone at Ashley Madison operating under a pseudonym. "Well played." is what I'd say.

The only place I can think of seeing something like this is old vinyl sleeves (records). This sort effect was common back then.

There are often times when one may see a TV spot run back to back and they may wonder why. Usually, one spot is national and one is local-- usually. For magazines, I really couldn't say. So after seeing not three, but four pop up this time I just had to say something.

You’re probably familiar with Maxim magazine already. The articles are thought provoking insights into current events and – who am I kidding. If you read Maxim, you read it for the scantily clad ladies and tips on how to get women into bed. In flipping through the magzine, I stopped on the Maxim Market section, where ads are broken up into boxes on the page. What caught my eye was the ad for “Invisible Glass”. Nestled amongst messages promising great sex this ad seems out of place. Click through for a larger picture with amusingly bad copy. Because when you’re…
Oh Newport… Really?
Do I just have the mind of a deviant, or is this advertisement blatantly sexual? Click through for a larger picture of wholesome BBQ fun! Maybe I’m just prejudicial against a cigarette company and automatically equate everything they do with evil intentions. As if this image isn’t suggestive enough, adding the “Pleasure” tagline to the ad just gives away their intentions. This couple may just be enjoying a good ole innocent squirt of the mustard. Is that what the kids call it these days?

The strongest argument of the documentary was that "big media" re-wrote the laws to suit its own well being and not the well being of artists.

The charm of the Capital One commercials is the announcer format with the Nordic accent and the fact that the Vikings are so destructive.
