Hasta La Creative!

In Doctor’s Office, Cat Sitting and Airport, Wieden+Kennedy, NY depict ESPN Radio as a network so down-to-earth that audience members will think nothing of taking liberties I wouldn’t take with my mom.

The CW Network is using suggestive shots of teens, flanked by the phrase “OMFG,” to promote the April 21 return of Gossip Girl.

If you watch any TV at all, you’ve probably seen that Saturn ad where a bunch of people go “That’s a Saturn…?” and then “That’s a Saturn?” and then (with contempt!) “That’s not a Saturn!” followed by the admiring “That’s a Saturn, all right!”

Spoof meets the big-leagues in this trailer for Under the Same Moon, a Hispanic-American film with a title so sappy it could itself be a spoof.

Check out this dope Hispanic pop culture mash-up for MTV, put together by PandaPanther. It’s totally random, but maybe random is better than seeming too focused. Interstitials like this one will appear in the MTV Tr3s Top 20 countdown…

The ads are French and they debut on the 26th of this month.

The tagline: “Avec Coca-Cola, on parle tous football,” which translates to something like “With Coca-Cola, everyone speaks football,” which is a roundabout way of saying Coca-Cola makes football buddies of unlikely pairs.

“There are many thankless jobs out there. This – isn’t – one of them,” barks this new ad, “Thankless Jobs,” for the US Coast Guard.

There are few things more lame than a competitive staring match between two non-blinking pros, unless those pros are also inanimate objects.

Tonight, is a big, big night for brands.  Star brands, studio brands and marketer brands all mix on the red carpet. We can count on the Nicholson brand doing well tonight. It’s a tradition to cut to him grinning in the audience. His smile is as iconic as the Clydesdales. But what about the marketers that are making their big bet with this event instead of the hyper-hyped Super Bowl?  Follow a live chat with the pundits on Adfreak’s new OscarFreak. If you are so moved, leave your opinions on the winners and losers here or as an audio comment. We’ll update this post with our own opinion in the morning. In the meantime, we already know what Judd Apatow thinks of the whole thing.

Now that the Writers Strike is over, people are clamoring to know when their shows are going to return with new episodes. The short answer for many is "not for a while, but check back in April." For others, however, that answer may be "never again."

On that short list of "never again" could be the Cavemen show inspired by the GEICO commericals. What does that mean for our unshaven friends? How about a new online/Facebook campaign for GEICO? I’m not sure if this was something created a long while back for GEICO, or if this is a new offering. In any case, if the Cavemen come back to commercial-land, I’ll be happy.
