frankly speaking
This ad really caught my eye as a good example of illustration combined with photography. Would make a great print ad.
The Force is strong with this new VW commercial.
This parody of product placement on MTV on SNL nailed it!
An odd ad from match.com, which is no stranger in the world of odd ads. (via adfreak)
KFC doubling down on it’s new Double Down campaign. (via adfreak)
Unilever going for the total cleanse in the UK.
It really took me awhile to get the message of this video (‘Get a Room’). Maybe Kayak should consider dumbing it down.
Social Media Excellence - A Case Study
A couple weeks ago I wrote about a situation of social media failure. Today, I’m happy to write about a situation of social media excellence! A few days ago, I checked into Specialty’s via foursquare:

Let’s be honest, I could care less about the cookie. What I find interesting is the fact that Specialty’s has the common sense enough to recognize that social media is a powerful marketing tool and in this case, is using it appropriately to try their products.
Not only do they have a customer, but now they will have someone who goes patronizes their business at least twice a week.
