new nike commercial.

Nike football

Nike put together a nice little ad thanks to the help of Guy Ritchie. The commercial was done by 72 and Sunny out of Amsterdam, was directed by Guy Ritchie and stars a few of the sports best athletes.

who do online shoppers trust?

I found this post on thetrendwatch and thought it was interesting. I am not surprised to see that consumers are trusting their peers more than advertising, but it is interesting to think that these peers might be complete strangers that have merely posted a review about a product or service online. Hopefully these online peers will remain trustworthy. It will be interesting to see how advertisers continue to find news ways to reach consumers through digital media.

football as it should be.

Coke Zero has put together a pretty fun little website. It's an interactive site where the player has 4 stages to pass before he/she can be allowed into the Coke Zero Lounge at the local football match. The game is pretty addicting and the site is put together really well, combining video and interactive media. Well done.

changethethought.

Changethethought was founded in 2001 and is basically a look inside the mind of Christopher Cox, an impressive designer and visual communications guru. His site is full of his work, which consists of print, web, illustration, apparel, and type. He also has a blog and an online store to keep you busy for a while.

are ad's for soda ethical?

psfk recently had a post stimulating discussion on whether or not W+K's ad work for Coca-Cola is similar to ad work for tobacco companies. They ask "should ad agencies have a similar moral decision when it comes to soda as they do tobacco?" Referring to the fact that Coke's cool package design is part of the reason that kids drink to much soda and then have health problems because of it. There's some good responses from readers on the issue.

home shopping for the younger generation.

I first found Honeyshed a several weeks ago but had forgotten about until the other day when I saw some articles on it again. Honeyshed is an online hub for culture, fashion, and mainly a facilitator of online shopping. Honeyshed does not actually sell any of the items they are showcasing they merely provide links to places where you can purchase the items. You can scroll through channels of kicks & lids, tech toys, ladies fashion, fun videos and a few others. So it's basically a website full of commercials, but commercials I don't mind watching.

asics campaign.

I saw this on highsnobiety and thought it was a pretty cool ad campaign. The global ad agency Strawberry Frog created this Tokyo cityscape as centerpiece for the Onitsuka Tiger campaign. Strawberry Frog is a pretty impressive ad agency. They've created so many fun and creative campaigns. Read the full story on this city shoe here...

serious street ball.

Check out this new video for the Fifa Street 3 video game. I'm not sure if this is for real or partly animated, but either way it's a pretty impressive video.

adam & company.

I recently found Adam & Company thanks to itsnicethat.com and was blown away by the creative agencie's work. They do everything from branding, to creative direction, to illustration, to marketing, to environmental design, to interactive media. All of their work is so crisp and vibrant. Their illustration work is especially impressive to me. You need to check out their site for yourself though.

warm ads.

I like this ad I found for a heating systems company in Romania. I sure could use a wooly sweater over my apartment right now with these sub-zero temperatures. This ad was done by Publicis.

vans takes advantage of iphone.

With new technology comes new means for advertising and Vans is one of the first to take advantage of iPhones new technology. Creatives from the Miami Ad School Europe have developed a skateboarding game that uses the iPhone's touch screen feature to control the skaters. You can also choose different characters to skate with and of course you can choose different Vans to skate in. I think this is a pretty genius idea. It will be interesting to see what other companies will develop to reach consumers via the iPhone.

ford flex ad.

I've never really considered myself a huge Ford fan, but I kind of like this new little video they have out for their new Ford Flex comming out this summer. I guess they have to do something to keep up with Chevy's new image.

audi ads.

I found these pretty cool Audi TT ads that were done by DDB in Milan, Italy. These ads were only placed in snowboarding magazines. That's funny because most the snowboarders I know could never afford an Audi TT. Maybe things are different in Italy.

creative ads.

These ads were done by the Jung van Matt advertising agency in Hamburg, Germany for Monda Pasta. They're located in the frequently visited Hamburg harbor and read, "Monda Pasta, so you can't let go."

common's new ad.

Common - Lincoln Promo

Check out Common's new ad for Lincoln set right here in Chicago. I sure hope I can upgrade from the el to a Navigator some day.

Steven David Muller, aka 57Even, does it all. From branding, to ads, to industrial design, to fashion design, Steven Muller creates amazing pieces. He has a high attention to detail and it shows in all his work. This dude has talent.
