absolut boring anthem
Posted on | August 18, 2009 | 1 Comment
once in a while i just have to post stupid things because they are so bad that they deserve space to be dismissed. the new absolut vodka anthem is so boring and has no message at all it’s unbelievable. doing things differently? hae? what? don’t give me that crap. the brand that made for years the most iconic advertising in the world just lost its mojo – completely. too bad but a good reason to get drunk. cheers.

very funny! ok, story and product don’t really connect for me. the fact that both are about kids is not enough but it is still a funny story worth watching. done by saatchi in new york. they got a laugh out of me.

really like the work done by fabien baron from baron & baron in new york. some of the work on his website is now almost a bit outdated but most stuff is pretty timeless and i like it as much now as when i saw it for the first time a few years back.

flash mob action
Posted on | April 3, 2009 | No Comments
most of you probably have seen the frozen grand central flash mob action in new york but in any event i came across it again and it’s worth it to watch twice.
for those who didn’t know, a flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. the term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via social media or viral emails, rather than those organized by public relations firms or for a publicity stunt.
rumor has it that bill wasik, senior editor of harper’s magazine, created the first flash mobs in 2003. in one more than 100 people converged upon macy’s ninth floor rug department, gathering around an expensive rug. anyone approached by a sales assistant was advised to say that the gatherers lived together in a warehouse on the outskirts of new york, that they were shopping for a “love rug”, and that they made all their purchase decisions as a group. funny.
