  • "20 Years Young" Feels Old

    May 8th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    If you're gonna try and capture real youth culture, it helps to be real yourself, not forced and derivative. This commercial for Burger King took music and copy inspiration from the Adidas spot and ran it through a meat grinder. You know what this spot feels like? It feels like the unpopular kid who moves to a new neighborhood and tries to reinvent himself, but no matter what he wears or how hard he tries, it just feels like he's trying too hard. Thumbs Off

    May 5th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    A tumblr of gifs that perfectly captures the frustrations of life in advertising.

    How I feel about the designer that gives me a psd with 4.2 billion unlabeled/ungrouped layers

    Pitching a bunch of concepts that nobody likes

    When the client says, "make this video go viral"

  • Househunter Test-Drive: Would You Like A Car With That Apartment?

    May 2nd, 2012 / Comments (0)

    TBWA\RAAD Dubai teamed up with Dubizzle.com, the most popular website for apartment hunting, to create a contextual banner that serves up the right Nissan depending on the neighborhood that you are interested in. For example, if you look for houses in the posh Jumeirah Beach Residences, the banner displays a Nissan Patrol. Then, they give you the option of getting picked up in the car and test-driving it to your prospective abode. A heaven sent for newly-arrived expats. Thumbs Up

  • Ray Ban Finally Realizes The Potential of Never Hide

    April 28th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    A series of prints showing people, all wearing Ray Bans, in moments of defiance and bravery. All apparently inspired by true stories. So beautifully shot that they look like they had been ripped out of a magazine of the same period.

    The campaign takes "Never Hide" away from simple wordplay to something deeply aspirational. We'd love to see how this idea lives outside of print.
