Leave the Ram!!

Hilarious!!!

funny?

According to youtube this is the world's funniest commerical, so i thought i would share and get your thoughts on it.

Vodafone live

don't get it?

I found this advertisement on www.adsoftheworld.com , personally i dont really get it. If you understand it can you explain it to me? History ca ne be fun too!

renovation

Well a couple of weeks ago we were presented with the task of revamping the Mohawk College website , which is the school I go to. Well here is a splashpage and a home page I did and i'm currently working on fixing the other pages.

Big Daddy Driver

On my jpurney of trying to find some new things to blog about I stumbled across this product called the Big Daddy Driver. It looks like a huge golf club but it is actually a weed wacker. It fits inside of a golf bag, if your bll lands in the rough you could pull this out and clear a spot around it to get a better shot! Click here to read more.

typography

I really like the typography in this ad for Zune.

The life of a student

okay here's an ad about "the Fresher" a 52 page guide. I really relate to what they mention in the ad, except for the beans. The ad is a little quirky but its that U.K. sense of humour.

This is a first!

Well I have finally decided to put up some of my own work. It's a little nerve racking but i have a link on the side to my online portfolio so I guess you could check it out whenever you want. So here it goes.
The client is a winter travel desintation, so when it's winter most people like to go somewhere warm. The Bahamas. The challenge was that each ad had to have a separate target. The first one is a Busboard targeted towards singles. The second is a transit shelter targeting thrill seekers. And lastly, it is billboard targeting families. As you can tell the targets are different and this was a great challenge for us (us meaning myself and my partner in crime Erica). Let me know what you think.

I'd rather be riding a dolphin...

So as i was talking about in my last post, the superbowl was on Sunday. I watched several of the commericals on youtube and out of them all i think this is the best one.

GO STEELERS!!

Well today is the Superbowl. This is when the best commercials with the highest budgets are suppose to be shown today. Unfortunetly for us Canadians we dont get to see those spectactular commercials, later when the big game is over we can all hudle around the computer and switch the url to youtube and watch this big budget commericals and hopefull not be disappointed.

I'll meet you around midnight at www.youtube.com .

My BIG Future!

Okay so I somehow I managed to get an interview for my internship, which is on Monday (ahhh so nervous by the way). As I was preparing for the interview and researching their site I came across the careers section so i clicked on it which led me to another site . If you go through it it tells you exactly what you need to know and what an agency is looking for. I highly recommend you check it out!

disconect...

release the goo

i was watching MTV and the Cadbury Creme Egg sucide commercial came on. I couldn't help but laugh because it is so different and i think it such a creative way to sell these eggs. There is no relation to bunnies or easter but it really made me watch it. take a look at one of them.

pizza?

so yesterday my roomate ordered pizza and when it came to the door sh paid and brought it in. The pizza was in a Bell pizza box! the box had a bell logo and talked about HDtv for the superbowl. i think this is an awesome way to advertise! it really caught me off guard, but it made me look at it and read it all. Very awesome, even though i'm not a big fan of bell.

powerwise

I was just watching Grey's when this commerical came on for Powerwise. The casting is awesome! A classic Canadian man David Suzuki it speading the word about Powerwise. Check it out!

finally

Well I finally got myself an ipod last night. They are pretty neat little gadgets, i've been uploading pretty much every CD I own onto it and I found a old Prozac cd. If anyone is up for listening to some Prozac sometime let me know lol!

You eat what you touch...

Time for a change...

Tomorrow is historical day not just for the United States but for world! Barack Hussein Obama will be the the President of the United Sates tomorrow at noon, which mean President Bush's time is done. It's about time for a change and Obama is the man for the job. I'm glad to be able to see this historic event.

It's a hell of a town!

New York New York... I miss you!

Bahhahaha

This is amazing!

Like shooting fish in a barrel...

Today in class we were assigned to find some retail advertisements and I came across a Dairy Queen commercial, "its like shooting fish in a barrel."



As I watched this ad i thought it was cute but then I read some of the comments. It made me think about how little girls are acting so much older then what they are.

I want you to decide... cute or awful?

WOW!! :)

Lol I'm just so amazed by this product, they just need a bigger advertising budget!



All I can say is SHAMWOW! hahaha

A Commercial I love!

Mastercard and Roots; Big Brother Big Sister Commerical

I was browsing around today on the Marketing Magazine website, and looked at their featured campaign section. I found the Big Brothers and Big Sister television commerical, can be seen here http://qml.quiettouch.com/files/publishing/marketing/MarketingDaily/2008/MasterCard1210.mpg if you havent seen it. "MasterCard Canada and Roots have given the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada a priceless boost this holiday season, with an integrated brand awareness campaign promoting the charity’s mentoring programs. The TV commercial shows mentors clumsily playing football, ice skating and fishing with their little “brother” or “sister,” and ends with the tag line: “Being a great role model just as you are: priceless.“People are hesitant to become [a big brother or sister] because they feel they aren’t perfect enough,” said Tomovich. “The message is, you just have to be yourself and be willing to give some time to a child in need, and that’s the greatest gift of all—time.” is how its explained on the the Marketing Magazine website. I really enjoy the reality of the situtaions that are shown. It shows a human side of Mastercard, caring about people and realating it to the Big Brother Big Sister program. The commercial is suppose to encourage Canadians to help give a child a mentor by making a $5 donation online. Mastercard Canada gave $25,000 to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Roots is also supporting the Big Brothers Big Sisters program with an in-store campaign asking consumers to add a $1 donation to their purchase.

Check out the Big Brothers and Big Sisters website to help out.
