David&Goliath know this about me and created my most favorite car commercial of all times. I’ve never considered a Kia before, but I just might have looked into it had this spot been in rotation before I bought my Jetta. 

Check it here.

This went viral a couple of weeks ago and I didn’t have a chance to post or write about it.  It’s such a great spoof of the New York Times spot.

I used to kill at four square and handball in my elementary school days!

I absolutely have no idea how Diet Pepsi is youthful, I think of soccer moms chugging the stuff, but BBDO Toronto seems to that it is. At least the ads are hilarious!

I assumed that number was grossly exaggerated, however as R/GA is currently working on PSAs for “textual harassment” (seriously) they might be accurate.

This just might be funnier then the “I learned it from you” weed spots. 

Hint: Pick C!

Their holiday ads are absolutely exceptional, I giggle and wish for a captain and coke everytime I watch them. I love the concept and the actors are awesome. Sadly there are no piggy back rides or rides home with the delivery man, but lots of holiday Miracles are afoot!

AOR for the Cap’n if Grey New York so Cheers! to a holiday campaign well done!

The company monitors the terms used in their search enginge and if there are enough people searching for a particular photo, scene or person and no photo is available, Getty will commission a photo shoot. With that tidbit of information, a group came together that searched for a Rollerblading Dwraf. Getty Images responded by hiring a photographer to capture said rollerblading dwarf. Awesome.  

If this is just a silly prank, its hiliarious. But if this campaignn is an inside stunt its f’ing brilliant. I heard this story about four times this week (and I’m not a Getty Images user or a creative dept person). The groups started a facebook group and the story tells everyone about a cool feature most users are unaware of with Getty Images. Perfect viral campaign.

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.

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

There is another video in the series which leads to GetInspiredHere 

Enjoy.
