I like to see business-to-business advertising that appeals to the person who will make the purchasing decision in decidedly human ways. Humor, for instance, is an underused approach in B2B. Circle K is helping to change the score with this campaign from Taylor, Nick Spooner director and Brooklyn-based production company. “My main marching orders were […]

Now that space travel is a commercial enterprise, eccentric people are saving their money for a ticket to a new planet where the air, water, and land are unspoiled. It’s a new kind of post-Earth utopianism. It’s also disgusting, and Paris ad agency ROSAPARK captures this cheap clueless aesthetic perfectly in their new commercial for […]

Why do brands spend many millions of dollars on stadium naming rights? Two words: captive audience. At FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, for example, Browns fans see countless brand impressions over the four-hour game day timeframe.

A new ad campaign from DeVito Verdi for Boston’s Legal Sea Foods celebrates the legalization of marijuana in the Bay State. The TV and print ads play off the restaurant’s baked, fried and smoked menu items. “Baked” and “smoked” makes sense. “Fried” is something that happens when you drink too much, work too much, and […]

Coors Light is cold. The brewery in Golden, Colorado has spent countless millions to make and remake this point, but mostly failing to explain what cold means to the beer drinker.
