Jeff Goodby along with Rich Silverstein has leveraged one of the strongest motivators in advertising, children, to advocate for President Obama. The project, which is not official GS&P work, gathers together a selection of kids to render a bleak outlook of the future. But a future that doesn’t have to be so bleak if these kids’ parents would just cast a vote for Obama.

Activision, with help from 72andSunny, has unfurled a new campaign for’Call of Duty: Black Ops II with a :60 live action trailer (that features Robert Downey Jr. and our favorite video star, iJustine), integration into Action Movie FX and an out-of-home campaign.

72andSunny worked with Guy Ritchie and jumP to develop a :60 live action trailer that hypes the game experience by following a litany of explosive attacks. In addition to Downey and iJustine, the clip featurtes French actor Omar Sy.

The campaign is also supported with an interactive OOH campaign that includes a Times Square subway takeover (not today though, thanks very much, Sandy). An international rollout of similar takeovers in cities including Los Angeles, Europe (London, Sweden, Finland, Belgium), Mexico, Brazil, Toronto and Vancouver will continue through October and November.

It’s been long understood that the advertising business is a leading indicator of an oncoming recession (and a lagging indicator of it’s end). Business Insider has gathered together the Q3 numbers from the four largest agency holding companies and the outlook isn’t pretty. Having barely recovered from the last recession, if these numbers are to be believed, we may be headed for another in 2013.

Taking a look at WPP Group, Omnicom, Interpublic and Publicis, Business Insider compiled a graph that tracks the ups and downs of the four holding companies and recent numbers all indicate we may be headed for the crapper again very soon.

It’s not all doom and gloom, though. While IPG sees a 2.7% drop in U.S. revenue for the nine month period ending September 30, Publicis sees U.S. growth of 2.4%. Much of the declines across the four holding companies are seen in Europe with healthier indicators for Asia and the UK.
