Posted in: Uncategorized“Dumb Ways To Die” Lives On As Best Of Show At The One Show
Posted in: UncategorizedLord knows I’ve had things to say about awards shows and their questionable judging, but this time I truly believe The One Show got it right.
Congratulations to McCann in Melbourne for their effort on behalf of safety on Metro Trains called Dumb Ways To Die. It was awarded Best Of Show at The One Show awards, held earlier this evening.
It’s been six months and I still can’t get this song out of my head. Nor do I want to. This is one of those “Damn, I wish I did that” campaigns, and I rarely say that these days.

Bob Hoffman Is Back For More!
Posted in: UncategorizedLast week over beers in downtown Portland, I asked Sharon Krinsky if Bob Hoffman has a type A personality. She said yes. I’ll have to take her word for it, given that the two worked together for 20 years at Hoffman/Lewis in San Francisco.
There is also the evidence to consider. Starting and running a successful San Francisco advertising agency isn’t for the faint of heart. Deciding to rip the business a new one as The Ad Contrarian is another sign — only people with missionary zeal take on this sort of challenge.
So, am I surprised that one month after leaving the agency with his name on the door, Bob has a new gig? Not really. Nor am I surprised by the ambitious nature of the new undertaking, or that the new entity’s first move is to kick some hard core facts (see video below).
Type A Group, with Krinsky and Hoffman at the helm, is up and running with three primary goals in mind: 1) Consulting to independent agencies; 2) Turnaround Marketing; and 3) Marketing to the Fifty Plus segment of the American population.
“To be honest here, I have no idea whether this thing is going to go anywhere or not, but it’s a good time to do things I’m really interested in,” says Bob. Which is proof that you can be humble and be driven to achieve great things. The two things actually go together rather nicely, in my experience.
Personally, I wish Bob and Sharon all the best with this new venture, and I will be interested to see if one of the three disciplines emerges as a clear winner, or if the new consultancy fires on all three cylinders.

Tempur-Pedic mostra a fera que existe em todos nós
Posted in: UncategorizedDormir mal geralmente é sinônimo de mau-humor. A Carmichael Lynch escolheu um urso para servir de metáfora para o que acontece com uma mãe que não consegue dormir direito, neste filme para a marca de colchões Tempur-Pedic. A identificação com esta fera que existe em todos nós é imediata.
Durante dias (ou noites mal dormidas), o urso assusta todos à sua volta, inclusive as meninas que narram a história. O negócio fica tão ruim que até o cachorro da família percebe que há algo errado – afinal, segundo o slogan, a gente é um reflexo de como dormimos. No final, até que ficou fofo, apesar de óbvio.
