Here's a new print campaign for Stella Artois via Lowe, London. I like the textures as well as the retro/vintage look. Executive Creative Director: Ed Morris; Copywriter: Peter Reid; Art Directors: Carl Broadhurst, Lovisa Almgren; Illustrator: Aesthetic Apparatus; Typographer: Dave Towers. Scooped from I believe in advertising.
Bestadsontv.com has been sold to Campaign Brief. Beamo, who created and ran Best Ads, has moved near beautiful Byron Bay (Australia). Congratulations Beamo. I'll miss you.
This new spot for Mr. Sub from Zig Toronto was in my inbox this morning, via Marketing Magazine's daily newsletter, and gave me a good giggle to start my day. There are three spots in the campaign, but so far this is the only one I've seen. I'll keep my eyes open for the other two and post as soon as I can find them. See the full story on the campaign in here.
It's Friday and I'm sure we could all use a good chuckle after a long week. This site should do it. Here are 15 unfortunately placed ads guaranteed to make you laugh (at least once). Enjoy. Scooped from AdFreak. For a 16th, go here.
John St. Toronto has created this great viral film and website Camp Okutta for War Child Canada, a registered charity dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance to war-affected children around the world. The poster portion of this campaign angered some Toronto residents (nothing like controversy to help spread a campaign). The web film is directed by Soft Citizen's Henry Lu & edited by Ross Birchall at Bijou Editorial.
Thanks to Greg Gunn from Three Legged Legs for emailing me to let me know that they have updated their website and have put some new goodies on it. Love the Legs and their new work for Amp Energy Drink, Sony Vaio and Havaianas. Check it out here.
I love anything that makes me think of Atari, so of course I love this spot for Sony by Santa Maria. Agency is Vanksen, Paris and Santa Maria, and this spot, are featured in the current issue of Shots - issue 102 in the New Directors section.
