MY AD OF THE WEEK .126

This is a pretty cool experience by Google promoting the Star Wars film. You go the link below to 'Awaken the force within' where decide if you want to join the light or dark side. It then changes your Google applications slightly e.g YouTube play bar changes to lightsaber, gmail changes it's background and some more cool features. Check it out here.

Which side do you prefer?

MY AD OF THE WEEK .125

After a sad week for rugby seeing the great all black player Jonah Lomu pass way, this lovely ad has been produced.  I saw this originally shared on LinkedIn and it stood out for its simplicity straight away.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .124

I had a good laugh watching this charming short online film for Mentos. Where they hired kids to mentor adults, telling them what to say to complete strangers. Some of the adults looked a little bit special saying some of the things, but that made the ad a more enjoyable watch. Click on the image to view the film.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .123

There have been a lot of Xmas ads coming out recently and I was tempted to share one, but then I looked at my calendar and realised it was only the start of November.

So I wanted to share this ad which talks about a topic widely spoken in advertising, should agencies do work for free 'spec work'? Well this guy has bravely gone and spoken to other business owners like cafes and gyms to see if they would provide their stuff for free. Some of the reactions are great.

One of my favourite questions he asks is 'So you guys are going to make me a spec breakfast? Then if I enjoy it, I'll make you guys my ROR 'my restaurant of record''.
