Double-Ended Jars – Skforlee PB & J Jar (GALLERY)

(TrendHunter.com) This has got to be one of the most ingenious, practical, yet obvious designs ever developed. Skforlee is promoting his ingenious double-ended jar for peanut butter, but the applications would not be limited to peanut butter. I feel I’m always wasting the last bit of mayonnaise as well. He should a…

The Non-RSS Subscription Model

My dad’s a retired dairy exec. He used to read The Milkweed, a dairy industry trade rag that’s been in continuos operation for 27 years. He relates to AdPulp through that lens. So, it was neat to see Peter Hardin, The Milkweed’s editor and publisher in this morning’s New York Times.

The Milkweed has over 7500 subscribers and accepts no advertising. Which, of course, is a wonderful way of building trust with one’s audience.

I can’t help but wonder, would you trust us more if we stopped running ads? Would it make for a better pub?

Sun Goggles – Eyewear Of The Future

(TrendHunter.com) Sunglasses are the most important summer accessory, and with the prominent use of fluorescent colours, exaggerated angles, curves, and metallic detail shown in this summer’s collections, I’ve been in search for the perfect pair of sunglasses to accompany the futuristic look. The problem I found …

Dog Dentures – Flatazor Senior Diet Ad

This poor old guy is still going strong, apparently thanks to his healthy ‘Flatazor Prestige Senior’ diet, but unfortunately he just wasn’t able to keep his dentures in while playing Frisbee. The shocked & embarrassed expression on the airborne terrier’s face is priceless. This hilarious pri…

180 Amsterdam and HTC Set Fingers Free

180 Amsterdam launches “Set Your Fingers Free” for HTC, one of the fastest-growing companies in the mobile device market. The integrated campaign is headlined by a :60 second TV commercial, initially for the US market, which illustrates the new experiences people have at their finger tips today. This TV spot will be underpinned by rich media banners, in the same visual style, which go live on May 12.

“It is about the experiences and the freedom these devices give us,” said Adam Chasnow, creative director at 180 Amsterdam. “It goes way beyond wireless data speeds and the specific technologies. It’s about how smart devices, like the HTC Touch, fit into the lives we are already leading.”

FilmCore’s Tiffany Burchard Shops for Laughs at Bloom

Exercising her talent for quirky storytelling, FilmCore’s Tiffany Burchard has edited a new campaign for Bloom and Charlotte, North Carolina agency BooneOakley that positions the upscale market as having the answer to any problem a consumer might have—no matter how weird.

Burchard collaborated with Director Rick Lemoine and a team of agency creatives who share her off-kilter sense of humor. Each of the dozen 15-second spots features the same set up: a man or woman pushes a shopping cart through the market (without somehow seeming to walk) while describing some peculiar life calamity.

Arimidex: Straws

Arimidex: Straws

Can you pick which of your breast cancer patients will have a recurrence?
There’s no way to predict which of your patients will have recurring breast cancer. So it makes sense to treat all patients as women with some risk. Versus tamoxifen, Arimidex can improve every patient’s chance of staying disease free.

(TrendHunter.com) In the popular Dan Brown story, The Davinci Code, a character named Silas practices corporal mortification (wears a metal cilice and flogs himself) to “cleanse” his spirit. This piece of clothing reminds me of that but, without the eternal damnation part. Kristin O’Friel, a student at the NYU art sc…
