NEW: Heineken Walking Fridge (follow up)

The first Heineken ad was pretty funny, but when can we actually get a fridge like this? Friday beer day would be a whole new experience if you could call a robot fridge to bring you a beer at your desk. I guess this might help contribute to us getting fatter. Hmmmm... It is a trade off I am willing to take.

e-Cards

e-Cards can be a fun way to send someone a thank you or birthday card. For a long time the only way you could personalize the card was with a quick blurb at the end. Well now there is a way to put your face onto a card and give it that extra "I miss you feeling." Check out the site here to send a superhero card to your special someone.

Orville Redenbacher Tea Party Commercial

Popcorn has power, and I mean when you smell it you want it. Here is PROOF!

Dutch Comedy Central: Enjoy Daily

We've all been here. How great is it to see in slow motion.

Social Media

There are three videos posted on a blog I read by the people over at Organic about Social Media. It shows examples about how social media is changing the way we communicate as individuals and how brands must begin to communicate. The examples are the recent Domino's food up the nose debacle, Susan Boyle singing on the British version of American Idol, and the YouTube Orchestra. Each video shows a different way that an idea was spread around the world. Watch the examples here.

Domino's employees were caught putting food up their nose and placing it on a pizza for delivery. The way that Domino's responded to the video shows how fast a conflict can spiral out of control.

There have been 1 million people who have watch Susan Boyle, "the frumpy Scotish housewife" sing with golden pipes.

And a project to find new musicians from around the world. People posted videos of themselves playing instruments and the best were selected to perform at a concert a Carnegie Hall.

Information flows faster than ever, and we must take note to have ideas to bring our brand's voice to the next level, as well as be aware that we must be ready to go on the crisis management offensive. It is an exciting world that we work in.

Under Armour - Jose Reyes


YES! Baseball season is back. This ad will get you pumped about going to see some games. I know I am watching the scalpers by my office, and am going to see some Baseball. It was a little hard to listen to opening day National Anthem at the Giant's game, and not be in the Ballpark.

Trocaire - Hiding Places


From the Catholic Church of Ireland comes a non-profit group called Trocaire. For Lent they launched this spot to help inform the public about children forced from their homes by war. Watch the ad a couple of times to get its full effect. This is an intense ad that hits your sympathy button and pushes with tremendous force.

Client: "We want to show Sprint in a light that says we don't suck ass, and we use Twitter because we are innovative."

Client: "We love it, but make sure you leave out our horrible customer service. The number of complaints is way to big."

This is very heavy. Not the most uplifting thing you will see today, but it gets the point across.

Mow the Lawn

Holy Crap! I have to say that this is probably one of the most subtle ads I have seen in a while.
