The Rise of Catvertising

Wow. This is unreal.



I can only imagine what brought this about! Would have loved to have been in the room when a request for a branded or sponsored cat video came up.

Office Envisions Our Future

A cool video produced my Microsoft Office.

With the up rise in touch screen technology and announcements around flexible LCD screens I can actually see some of this stuff coming true!

Now lets just hope their product launches help bring this vision to life, because I really want a pair of those Babelfish glasses.



Kind of reminds of the Nokia "future" video that came out a couple years back... Without the creepy dude in the boat.

VW Makes Art. Dares Canadians to Steal it.

A very interesting concept. VW and their agency create some cool pieces of art and dare Canadians to steal them!

Following the recent "pop-up" shop trend, VW took over some unsuspecting construction sites across Canada, creating mini pop up galleries in support of the 2012 Jetta GLI.

A nice and innovative way to interact with consumers.



What makes it even better, is the fact that it is an extension of their "Light Painting" ads from earlier this year - making it a great example of leveraging a single creative idea acorss multiple mediums.

Abandoning America

In this 4 minute video, Chipotle (who has been touting themselves as a strong supporter of anti industrial, sustainable farming) creates a oddly beautiful portrayal of the demise of American farming.

A powerful message, I just hope they can figure out a way to cut it down for mass broadcast! Having to watch through 4 minutes of footage is a lot to ask to ask of consumers, particularly when the hard hitting message only comes in during the last 10 seconds.

The Crazy Ones

ADWEEK's edit of TBWA's iconic Crazy Ones ad was done a few months back, but I could think of no better time to share it than today.

A sad sad day. The world has lost a visionary and leader. Someone who never accepted the status qua and constantly move technology and how we interact with it forward.

RIP Steve. You will be truly missed.

Rick Perry's Trailer for Presidency

Now that the summer blockbuster season is over, its time for the next big wave of trailers - for the 2012 presidency.

I have to say that is this the most epic presidential candidacy spot I have ever seen. A narrative that pushes us into the depths of reality (really?!) and then lifts our spirits with with F18s flying overhead.

Wow.



If this is a signal of things to come, I guess we won't be expecting any Riney-esque ads this time around.

Moleskine: Meet the Power of the Force

Well I think this tops the list of the best product partnerships of all time.


And what could be better than Moleskine Star Wars Notebooks? This amazing stop motion spot that was put together to mark this once in a lifetime occasion!

A really fun and interesting example of how two products, that are light years apart, can be brought together in such a simple way.
