MY AD OF THE WEEK .108

How many times have you seen that annoying and rubbish ad on a YouTube pre-roll?

Well D&AD have an answer, created the 'The Ad Filter', a free extension that will only show you the best advertising ads (that can be watched again), compared to some of the ads that appear. I'm about to instal min now. Download it for free.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .107

Try not to yawn at this simple digital billboard stunt for the Brazilian coffee brand Cafe Pele. Yawning is contagious, so showing a person yawning will make people yawn and feel sleepy too. They reveal their new coffee at the end of the ad, as the answer to want to wake them up.

WWF have launched an interesting way to raise money in their new campaign using Twitter. Transforming 17 real world endangered animals into emoji animals, that you can tweet. Every time you tweet one of the animals, you'll donate 10p to the charity. I hope they get loads of donations, in this stand out campaign.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .105 MOTHER'S DAY EDITION (FOR AUSTRALIA & USA)

I wanted to share this simple and funny ad for Samsung to celebrate Mother's Day (in America and Australia today), reminding us how bad our mums can be at texting. I know they have got a lot better, but I still get a few messages like these, especially the really long ones occasionally. Are there many you still receive? They could do a FaceTime one next year.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .104

Here are two funny ads for the Guardian paper in the UK, that show how easily others can steal all the weekend fun with the continuation of the brands message 'Own your weekend, or someone else will'. I've enjoyed the whole campaign so far, finding them very true, good lengths and well put together.

I've almost been the guy watching my partner run too, thankfully not in the mud and rain.
