Rombo – Political Warfare, Guns ablaze in Mitt Romney’s Campaign
This new ad called ‘Rombo’ blasting Presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s style of full frontal attacks, is going to live on for a long time in the minds of TV ad watchers. It’s great, depicting Mitt’s blast them all style as he machine guns competitors in a deserted office area, then ducks behind metal poles for […]
Read PostChipotle Hits a Home Run: the Scientist
Telling a story as complicated as the Chipotle story is NOT easy. Nobody said it was easy. Add the fact that you have never created an ad before to that mission and you opt to take your first swing with a TWO minute commercial during the Grammy’s. Well, you got some cajones. And it took […]
Read PostClever Animation Campaign – Take the Bus
Here are three commercials that makeup a brilliant campaign created by Duval Guillaume in Belgium. The production company is Creative Conspiracy. The first commercial, Penguins, was created some time ago, in 2009. The second one, Ants, is right in step with the others. Finally, here’s the third, Crabs.

Read PostYale – School College Marketing Video
This Glee knockoff college marketing video created for Yale Admissions was much talked about in admissions circles several years ago, but when it comes to Admissions videos, I don’t think their suspended reality approach works.

Read PostSuper Bowl XLVI – Ad Recap
Advertising was not the forte of this SB, Super Bowl XLVI. Come to think of it, neither was football. Perhaps it was the half time show, as Madonna put on a dynamic and entertaining show. She still has some magic… no wonder Lady Gaga steals her best stuff from the Madonna playbook. Anyway, the advertisers […]
Read PostGreat Tabletop Video: Up Close and Personal
This is gorgeous tabletop video and much like the fashion piece for Weight Watchers (the LIPS piece), this is not quick and easy film to shoot… it needs precise lighting, a talented DP and a great stylist to deliver the food at the height of freshness. Lurpak hits paydirt with a new spot from W+K […]
Read PostTalking Animals & Music – Great Video
Talking animals (my favorite) and animals set to music, this can be great material and funny stuff. It’s natural comedy. Doesn’t need to be complicated by tricky jokes with long, complicated punch lines. Bounder. This guy is One Happy Pooch. The clip below – What Animals Are Really Thinking – is hilarious. The english accents […]
