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!

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!

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

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.
