Big Chicken Small Movie

The citizens of Marietta, GA take fried chicken seriously. In 1963, Georgia Tech architectural student Hubert Puckett designed the town’s BIg Chicken landmark for what was then called Johnny Reb’s Chick, Chuck and Shake.

Who Do You Think I Am, Ted Danson?

You guys, let’s get the bartender from Cheers for this! Casting: unoriginal. Acting: uninspired. Dialogue: painful. All of which is too bad. SMIRNOFF™ vodka deserves better advertising. It’s a Russian-born brand, but it’s made in America. It’s also a quality product at an affordable price point. So, why insist that actor, author and environmentalist, Ted […]

There’s Hot Sauce, And There’s Hot Sex (Which, In Certain Conditions, May Sound Alike)

Tabañero and LA-based creative agency Pitch are out with a new regional advertising campaign, now running in California and Florida. It’s the first brand campaign for the hot sauce company. Apparently, Tabañero’s intense flavors make ‘foodgasms’ possible. I’ll need to test the product before I can endorse that point of view. Pitch also found a […]

Juan & Juan Wax On About Wine

Seattle agency, Copacino+Fujikado, has created a light-hearted content series for Columbia Crest that aims to demystify wine. The series features Juan Munoz-Oca, head winemaker, and Juan Uribe, estate vineyard manager. I like the down-to-Earth approach here. Wine is an agricultural product. There’s nothing for anyone to get snooty about. Plus, Columbia Crest is often on […]

Here’s To Modelo’s Fighting Spirit

With no more interesting man to lean on, Dos Equis has lost its mojo. Corona never had much mojo to begin with. Which brings us to the Mexican beer of the moment—Modelo Especial. The brand’s new made-for-America ad campaign hits many of the right notes. For instance, the line, “It doesn’t matter where you come […]

For Father’s Day, Will It Be A&W or Buffalo Wild Wings?

This coming Sunday, you have the opportunity to bring home the root beer. Nevermind that dad prefers real beer. A&W Root Beer “Caught On Snap” from Lucky Post on Vimeo. I must admit, I don’t care for the Richards Group-made commercial. I don’t care for it because the ideas behind it are corrosive and don’t […]

Unchosen Fish Sing The Blues

Legal Sea Foods, the Boston-based, family-owned and operated restaurant group that has 30+ locations along the East Coast, is picky about the fish it sources and serves. In the three spots from DeVito Verdi, fish lament that they just aren’t good enough to be selected by Legal Sea Foods. Thankfully, the Blues heals all, even […]

Get Off Your Monkey Flunking Tablet

Moms today have good reason to swear. Likewise, kids have every reason to prefer Kraft Mac & Cheese. Maybe that’s why the brand enlisted mother, author and swearing expert, Melissa Mohr, Ph.D., to tell it like it is.

Update from the Animal Farm: Raw Diets for All!

This new campaign for food box delivery service Stubborn Farmer puts a humorous twist on popular social-media recipe videos.

Arby’s: We Have The Meats

Fallon is a legendary advertising agency, and one of the pillars of the Minneapolis market. Fallon picked up Arby’s a few years ago and has helped the brand find its unique baritone voice. There is a keen sense of humor in play here; yet, this is no-nonsense product advertising. In other words, there’s something for […]

Strong Brew Needed In the Time of Trump

We live in a nation divided. Today, no company is safe from a presidential reprimand or widespread outrage and backlash, including damaging boycotts (well deserved, or not). In my estimation, brands must stand for something now more than ever. What’s always been true about differentiating on product attributes is now also true about the community […]

Muscle Up The Strength To Save A Bro

Last year, when “Bros” needed saving, Organic Valley and its agency Humanaut was up to the task. It’s a great campaign. Still, not every Bro knows about the dangers of pounding protein shakes with synthetic ingredients and scary chemicals.
