Warning.

Written by Erin on November 29, 2008 – 10:52 am

Just signed up for a new social media site to test out. Best warning posted on the sign up page. 

“Any messages involving Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Russia and wiring money, online escrow services, western union, or cashiers checks are definitely scams and should be ignored. Do not be fooled no matter how convincing the story is or how beautiful their photos may be.”

I would say that this was totally uncalled for because these scams are not new, but then I read this on Digg.

Disconnect.

Written by Erin on October 20, 2008 – 11:18 am

I just discovered Going Social Now which is a blog out of the newly renamed Razorfish (they dropped the Avenenue A). 

Funny video on the disconnect between the modern consumer and traditional advertising. Is this stuff funny if you don’t work in the industry?

Local.

Written by Erin on August 27, 2008 – 2:23 pm

Local automotive advertising is rarely thought of beyond deals, incentives and star bursts. But sometimes local auto ads break through the clutter and bring the auto brand as a whole to a new level. If I lived anywhere near this dealership I would sell my Jetta and buy a Toyota from them.

Ads of the World

Trumpets.

Written by Erin on August 25, 2008 – 9:32 am

In college one my roommate and I built an army of peeps outside of our friend’s room during a boring winter afternoon. A small fleet of yellow, pink an blue peeps flooding the hallway. All but one of the fluffy bunnies was knocked over and the lone yellow soldier had a note sticking out of him. “Help“. The scene from their front door was hilarious I swear.

Maybe my strange food humor is why I love these spots so much….or maybe its that they are completely and utterly random.

Bring on the Trumpets!

I aplogize I don’t speak pineapple.

My house has an entire floor for pilates.
