something about those lions (updated)

a while ago i proposed to perform a research to find out more about the cannes lion awards 2008, however limited access and memory loss has caused a delay. well, better late than never, right. so, i browsed around the ddb.com site and by hazard i found the winners from the press category - ddb, south africa. why am i not surprised? their creativity is unique.

i would personally describe their (ddb, south africa) style as being sarcastically provocative but with a neat and charming touch, which gives the ads a perfect balance between fiction and reality. the kind of humor that they've used in this series of ads is quite similar to the kind that fcb johannesburg used in their expigen (cough medicine) campaign as well as their latest lego campaign (see posts from march 30 and april 12). those south africans really get me going.




something about ink

the 'monday morning creative hit' from my lecturers publication, campaign brief. by tbwa paris. the best ad i've seen in this category.

i tried too many times to upload it in a .mov format but without success - so here you go. if you'd prefer to watch it in a quicktime-format, then here it is.

something about pinocchio

gold star. by tbwa usa.

something about a festival

wish i was in stockholm by december 1.

something about an N

well, the era of small-letter-consistency is over, or at least in the new logo.

something about flaskpost

love the idea.

(english subscribers read: swedish funfair gröna lund launches a cute guerilla campaign through the stockholm based agency pool - a direct translation is 'bottlemail'.

something about doritos

well, finally i'll give myself the opportunity to say something about doritos. an extraordinary company with an extraordinary product that have a history since even before the 70's. how a bunch of chips that are made of ground corn, corn oil, and seasoning can taste so good is beyond my knowledge, yet what i do know is that they do - jay leno does too.





one heck of a crunch.

something about it

so, first week of university orientation for semester 2 as a third year student is over. today was the rumorous current issues in marketing communications lecture, where we obviously discuss current issues in the business of advertising and communication - a slap in the face, yet seriously exciting. the forth and last unit is now the business of publishing, which seems to be a freestyle unit with certain guidelines to follow, again seriously exciting. so let's talk about exciting in a few weeks, well, say week five when at least (!) 3 major assignments are due. puh.

did you see 'it' when you where a little kid? spine-chillin', right?
