Posted on December 12, 2011 | 1 comment

Tip jars are often a neglected element of counter service. This establishment realizes that people love to vote on stupid things. It seems to be working.

Samsung Infuse 4G “Spider” spot

Posted on June 22, 2011 | Comments Off

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. I liked the spot but wouldn’t want to see it in heavy rotation because of the screaming. Hitting mute on the remote all the time would be annoying. span> (via Public Convoy)

FEARnet ad on your doorstep

Posted on June 2, 2011 | Comments Off

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.
