World Cup Countdown T minus 57: Brazil and Portugal in and out of the stadium

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

Another one form the Nike-Google dream-factory including Ronaldo, Figo, Ronaldinho and the likes. Brazil playing Portugal (at the World Cup 2002?). Things get out of hand and players take it to the street, back to the stadium and so on. Beautiful shots and a funny ending - cool!

Papa’s got a brand new bag

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

Felix in Cologne dug out these nice images of shopping bags. I don't really consider shopping bags such a hot marketing item any longer - except for trade shows. I think the last time I was conscious about a shopping bag I carried around must have been in 1979 or 1980 and ...

Jay Conrad Levinson posted this superb article including a list of fifty reasons why people buy. It sounds so simple, but could you name fifty reasons from the top of your head? This list is taken form the book "Rapid Response Advertising" by Geoff Ayling.

Do you still need Google?

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

Somehow I am starting to feel about Google the same way I felt about Microsoft some seven or eight years ago. I once thought of them as a great addition to my professional life but then the relationship started to turn sour. Microsoft started the browser war with Netscape which ...

T minus 59 - not exactly adidas

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

This is supposedly an Adidas commercial. I suppose it's not. Totally not. There are simply too many Nike wings in there. It is a stunning collection of goals though. Watch out for Mr. Higuita's little stunt. Just some stuff to enjoy. I'll make an effort not to bombard you with tons ...

They’re watching you

Monday, April 10th, 2006

Bangalore is happening, but let's not forget about the 100 of millions of Indians still left out. Most notably the 20 million (or more?) children that are still begging on the streets. "Push Him Out of Begging and Not Out of Your Way" is the slogan for Childcare India's guerilla ad campaign. ...
