We Nothern Europeans are quite the drinkers. And amongst the Nothern Euopeans, the Britans are quite the drinkers. Maybe that’s not something to be proud off, but that’s not going to stop them from doing it.
So instead of wasting their money on trying any further, the British Local Government Association, which represents councils across Britain, [...]

Anyone seen the latest Indiana Jones movie yet? I haven’t, but from what I hear it’s pretty crappy. I’ll still go see it, though; Based on the first three movies alone Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford are heroes in my book. so there’s hardly anything they can do wrong.
At least, that’s what I thought until [...]

The AIDS epidemic has been overestimated, it has been slowing for nearly a decade now. AIDS remains a devastating public health crisis in the most heavily affected areas of sub-Saharan Africa though.

We all know that sex sells. Hell, we’ve talked about it on this blog almost every week. Of course, not everybody’s willing to recognize this: Some people would even like to think it doesn’t even exist. An opinion usually formed by a deeply religious sense of values or - well - just general prudency.

Since we seem to be in a technological kind of mood this week there’s no need to spoil the theme. Remember when Robert was saying we’re doing so many American ads since they’re so easy for us to adapt? Well, here’s a Chinese ad (in Chinese even) that’s just as easy to understand:

Imagine you have to create a commercial for Unox. The company probably demanded an idea that contributes to their pleasant, easy-going and middle-class imago. You and your colleagues start ‘brainstorming’, in other words you think about it when you take a shower, drive to another customer with the radio on or walk the dog. [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s an election going on in the US. As I mentioned some time ago, this makes for some interesting tv-ads. But truth be told, most of these really lack quality.

Advertising is not risk-free! However most companies seem to think it is. I wonder whether it’s laziness, indifference of the marketing director or a lack of time to keep an eye on it.Picking an audience, figuring out the means of communication and being creative just won’t do when you want to place a billboard.
A good [...]

Tastes differ, so they say. I found out just how true that is while looking at one of our colleagues’ top ten commercials for 2007. Both the number one and two were horrific in my opinion. Check this one out.
This commercial promotes both Nike and iPod. That last part strikes me as strange, since Apple [...]

Sometimes I can really be amazed how producers can screw up an ad and actually get away with it. Take this clip, financed by the “American Dairy Association”. It does just about the minimum amount of work to get a message across and it’s content is completely irrelevant.
It’s typically the kind of ad people will [...]

It looks like the idea wasn’t judged by the [...]
