  The Japanese have a very different style of advertising than Americans.  They would definitely get an A+ in outside-the-box creative thinking.  The latest ad craze is ad-supported underwear.    I do not speak or read Japanese, not even a sukoshi (Japanese for a little bit),  but fortunately Gizmodo was able to help me out. As far…

We all know that GoDaddy.com is famous for its intentionally sleazey TV ads, usually run during sporting events such as the Super Bowl. Well, in this new ad by Deutch and directed by Traktor we see a whole new side to this internet giant. Sure, we find the obligatory beaver-petting (literally) supermodel but we also…

Just when I think he can't get any sexier, he flexes, and I'm proven wrong once again. David Beckham bends it like Beethoven in this Samsung Ad and I can honestly say this may be the most "kickin" version of Ode to Joy that I have ever heard.

Design is everywhere. It’s built into every product we purchase; every store we visit to purchase these products; the product’s shape, functionality and materials, the packaging, the branding and the advertising. It’s all designed to entice us to purchase one certain product or service over another. We can tell when a product has been well…

By: Marjie the Intern There are more choices in advertising placement today than ever before. Newspapers, billboards, Internet ads, sign spinners, dry cleaning bags, coffee cup sleeves, radio, TV, airplane banners…  and the list goes on.  A big part of creating a successful ad campaign is choosing the right ad vehicle for your demographic. I’m…

Anamoly has been turning out some really great creative for Converse for the last year. I'm not normally a Converse customer, but with the launch of this campaign I've really started to enjoy the brand and actually looked for converse online the other day.
