The Writers Guild of America is out on strike.

It sounds like a […]
Actors. They’re always acting. Ryan Gosling, for instance. Even when he’s lifting an expensive timepiece, he’s acting like it’s no big deal. But it is a big deal. No one—not even a Hollywood movie star—walks off with a TAG Heuer Carrera and gets away with it. The watches in this heritage collection from TAG Heuer […]

When someone utters the words, “there are no new ideas,” he’s either advocating for execution (where the magic happens), for the value of mashups and derivatives, or he has no imagination at all because new ideas sprout like fields of wildflowers in the minds of creative people with advertising problems to solve. But what about […]
Restaurant advertising is often created with the intent to create appetite appeal. To achieve this, the quality of photography and videography is critical. This new ad campaign from P.F.

Why do urban artists wear Timberland? Could it be that Timberland works harder than most to appeal to young urban customers?

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 […]

Where do brands fit into the larger cultural landscape today? It’s a question that some brand managers and ad agency partners would rather not answer. At the other end of the pole, there is Diageo’s Johnnie Walker, which has a definitive answer to the non-rhetorical question. Let’s watch and listen… The spot was created by […]

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 […]

Media is a false mirror. It’s false because it doesn’t show us who we are. It shows us who we are programmed to be. Media makers have a professional obligation to widen the lens. Advertisers often ask for people of color in their ads to showcase their awareness and sensitivity and to appeal to the […]

Fade in. The writer’s room is oddly clean, bright, and empty. There’s a cog in the movie making machine. Writers in entertainment, as in advertising, dream it up and write it down. Writers are the spark that lights the story’s fire. In a city and in an industry that manufactures dreams, you’d think that writers would […]
