Retro is in. To get a sense of how nostalgia is used in advertising today, let’s travel back to 1972 with luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet. The brand’s celebratory flashback sequence also makes quick visits to 1982, 1992, 2002, and 2012 before pulling into the present. Since its launch on April 15, 1972, the Royal Oak—the […]

Cheers is an American sitcom television series that ran on NBC from 1982 to 1993, with a total of 275 half-hour episodes across eleven seasons. For those of a certian age, the show’s theme song is beyond familiar, it’s iconic and instantly recognizable. A couple of notes from the tune and visions of Norm at […]

People can believe in and practice “the hustle” and not be perceived as hustlers. It seems like such a fine line, but in this new commercial from Lexus and Team One, the fine line is made explicit. Let’s watch. According to Lexus, the all-new 2022 NX is a next-generation crossover that prioritizes what matters most […]

Amazon.com is the information economy’s superstore. One can buy just about anything one desires from Bezos and company. If you’d like, Amazon’s Prime will even rush it to your doorstep. Such is the state of retail today. The mass appeal of fast-moving goods (that are just a click and a local warehouse away) is a […]

Ah, summer nights at the beach. Bonfires. Starry skies. The steady crash of waves. Budding romance. What could be better? According to Taco Bell, their new Cantina Crispy Melt Tacos could be better.

Ads present the product or service in the right light to motivate consideration and purchase. Content marketing is something different. Content-fueled campaigns are designed to please people and that’s pretty much it. In other words, content is a gift from the brand, not a clever request to purchase.

Wine marketing is oftentimes painfully boring. I’d rather watch paint dry than see a wine ad. Wine ads—like some winery tasting room staff—can be stuffy, talkative, and off-point. Thankfully, change is coming to the wine industry. In June, we reported on Elizabeth Banks and her connection to Archer Roose. Now, it’s Snoop Doggy Dogg’s turn. […]

When you’re out and about, do you see people primping for the camera? You don’t have to look far. Selfie preparation is happening all around us, in idling cars, in living rooms, in restaurants and bars, and on the street. So many carefully curated images, so little room for reality. Because reality bites. Reality is […]

Columbia is a nation rich in natural beauty and untouched places. Untouched by modern life and untouched by tourists. This is true, in part, due to decades of civil war in the country. Thankfully, on 23 June 2016, the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebels signed a historic ceasefire deal. […]

Is Facebook the doom machine? The Social Dilemma, a new documentary-like film from Netflix, makes the case. One of the technologists in the film, Jaron Lanier, makes the case (in the film and in many other instances). To varying degrees, we all make our cases against F to the B. Some of us quit the […]
