DIY Paleontology
Posted in: UncategorizedTo send New Year greetings for 2008, the communications team at the dinosaur museum in Brussels sent colleagues and main sponsors a highly original package. Inside was a block of plaster and a hammer & chisel with an invitation to amateur paleontologists to dig, not for the bones of a mighty T-Rex, but to find the museum’s greeting card.
Agency: McCann Erickson Belgium
Account Director: Talia Hendlisz

Thanks for the pointer, Tanguy

Philippines Invites YouTube Star to Mother Country
Posted in: Uncategorized
Instead of putting together a slick campaign about the Philippines’ wonder and majesty, the Philippine Department of Tourism has done something that we think is risky but probably worthwhile.
It invited HappySlip, a Filipino-American who built a YouTube following with her impersonations of family members, to visit the country on its tab.

EXCLUSIVE: Is this the new Goodby CommBank work?
Posted in: Uncategorized*******BANNERBLOG EXCLUSIVE*******
UPDATE : 9.20PM – 24/1/2007
It’s legit. We’ve done some digging and ‘Determined to Be Different’ is registered trademark # 1211855 of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, lodged by CBA’s Legal Counsel John O’Sullivan on November 23.
There is also a website that will reside at http://www.determinedtobedifferent.com.au/
The DNS servers attached to that domain are .SE – Sweden. We could speculate that this is a possible sign that the website is being developed by a partner/supplier Goodby have used before – the Sweden based North Kingdom. This is pure speculation however.
*******
Is this the first work of the Commonwealth Bank’s new agency, Goodby Silverstein & Partners?
Viral? Internal Staff Video? Industry Joke?
Let us know, what you know!

And its no drop down menu or radio buttons, its a full on Mini Roof style affair:
Nice work, CP+B.

Celebrity Worship Syndrome is real
Posted in: UncategorizedMad Doctor Gleebitz is worried that CWS (Celebrity Worship Syndrome) is rampant in Australia and people cant separate celebrity from reality. Celebrities replacing friends and relatives, emotional transfer of the celebrity’s feelings (if something bad happened to their celebrity they’d feel it was happening to them)
All sounds pretty normal I guess and they’ve been looking for Australia’s top 10 sufferers to highlight the dangers of the disease.

The site is promoting ninemsn’s new entertainment site thefix.com.au where users are warned that their massive celebrity content can be harmful for sufferers of this syndrome

Banners will save the World
Posted in: Uncategorized
This is f*cking brilliant. Everytime you visit the United Nations Free Rice site and play the word game, grains of rice are donated to the United Nations World Food Program.
There are reports of schoolkids from all over the world sitting in class playing this, increasing their vocabulary, and at the same time feeding other kids.
It’s only been launched a month or two, and already the number of grains of rice donated (in lieu of click thru advertising revenue on the site), is in the billions.
My only wish is that you could play within a banner or widget. That way people could embed the service within their own sites.
Go and play for five minutes and see how many dishes of rice you can send.
Who's in charge here?
