Hasta La Creative!

The holidays are here. Have you been too busy watching your 401(k) disappear and the foreclosure signs sprout up around the neighborhood? Don’t worry. Zeus Jones is here to help. The Minneapolis shop, which did a nice job of reimagining the agency Web site recently, has created a sweet gift guide of awesome stuff its employees found around the Internet. The interesting part is how ZJ constructed the product discovery—something few sites seem to get right. In addition to a price slider, the site sorts by gender, age and relationship type, along with special picks from agency staff. The product set is reassembled based on the choice made. A couple of quibbles: You can’t link to products within the Flash interface, and clicking through to the product pages requires the pop-up blocker to be turned off. Still, it’s an interesting and different type of agency holiday site. Also, if you’re picking out gifts for the AdFreak staff, Gianatasio would like the Evel Knievel Super Stunt Set.
