Samsung Infuse 4G “Spider” spot

Posted on June 22, 2011 | Leave a comment

Here is a new TV commercial for the Samsung Infuse 4G “Spider” cellphone. I love the reaction of the people in this commercial and would react the same way — and, by that, I mean the way the woman reacted.

FEARnet ad on your doorstep

Posted on June 2, 2011 | Leave a comment

Papa John’s already did something like this, but who cares. Nothing in advertising is original, and this execution for FEARnet still works. The left shows what was placed on people’s doors. The right side is what people saw when they looked through their peep hole. Agency The Brooklyn Brothers, New York, USA.

Four really good LEGO ads

Posted on April 5, 2011 | Leave a comment

Here is a well-executed print campaign for LEGO. These four ads beautifully convey the power of a child’s imagination. Will all of the technology and gadgets we have today, none of them can compare to what the mind can create. I hope we never lose toys like LEGO.
