Guy really seems to capture the movement, excitement and the general lifestyle of a professional footballer. Kudos.

Family TV time, brought to you by Panasonic

So says Panasonic. They call it Viera time.
Spend some Viera Time with your friends and family. Nothing brings everyone together like the big, lifelike picture and sound of…
That’s bold. At a time when we’re trying to ween our fatass kids off the TV set, the brilliant marketers behind the “Viera Time” campaign are working hard [...]

Vee Dub Goes Celebrity

Good for the dinosaurs

In the ever darkening world of old skool print magazines, someone at Paste magazine has his/her light switch turned on. Kudos to BMW, who identified a cute little ad-space at the number footer. And, a clever integration to boot. Don’t hate it.

copyranter done?

Quitters suck. But, it’s tough to be brilliant … and not get paid for it. Leave copyranter a comment.

Pro-Bono Poor Bono

Regrettably, TMJ is not as trendy as global warming or poverty.
Dear Bono,
Thanks for letting us poke fun at you. It helped a few people learn about TMJ, and best of all, it helped all of us share an award for pro-bono advertising.
Ha. Funny. Pro-Bono…
