Activia Campaign by Young & Rubicam

Okay, so Activia has a new campaign that just launched, developed by Young & Rubicam. They are an agency based out of Prague, Czech Republic. I’m sure that they were going for a concept that they wanted to really spark…

1Billion Hungry

Well this completely relates to the project that most Art Direction two students just finished, and what some graphic design majors are still working on. 1Billion Hungry is a campaign that is a little more edgy than anything City Harvest…

AT & Teapot

As far as I’m concerned, this is the first funny commercial of the year. AT&T takes a stab at repositioning its intentionally unmentioned competition. There has been much back and forth between AT&T and Verizon legally and commercially about who’s…

The Shack…

Radio Shack is one of those brands that makes me wonder how it’s still around. I’ve never purchased anything from there that lasted more than two years. Before I found a better option, I was using earbuds that required a…

Shape-up for the New Year with Skechers

I don’t think there were any knockout holiday spots this year. There was some singing, dancing, and shopping, but nothing too memorable (at least not for me) until I saw this Skechers ad. This spot is clever in that it’s…

Really? Windows Phone…

“It’s time for a phone to save us from our phones.” People spend so much time on their phones they’re missing out on life. Interesting concept. I suppose Windows Phone is so fast that each of these people can do…

Baby Carrots baby!

I’m not sure if this will really catch on especially with the hard sell. The overall campaign can make good conversation for Intro to Advertising.

Geico: Anything Goes!

Its campaigns aren't really consistent; it has a spokesman and a mascot; and it isn't the best nor the first yet Geico remains the most popular.

Do kids need protection from ads?

Ads can be so influential that all it really takes is for the right "opinion leader" to get on board with a product and then all of his (or her) peers will fall right into place.

Musical Chairs: Competing Line Extensions

No brand wants to be caught without a certain line extension if it's being offered by a competitor even if it's just for a limited time. One of the great benefits of being an industry leader is setting the example and shaming everyone else into following whether they're ready to or not.
