Clever creative – ANAR billboard: One ad & one media, but two targets and two messages

  This came to me via one of my students, and I thought it worthy of sharing with a larger audience – primarily for the creative approach to segmentation, but also for its message. This work comes out of Spain, and was done for the ANAR foundation (Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk Foundation). [...]

Dove Real Beauty Sketches: a campaign or a movement?

I love this new campaign by Dove. It features a forensic sketch artist creating images of women as they describe themselves, and as others who they have recently met, see them. All images where created without actually seeing the person, instead relying on how each person interview described them. Subjects were then shown the images [...]

Creativity on the street: get noticed & get business!

Turning everyday street objects into ads can be a clever vehicle to leverage a campaign. As we all know, the coffee wars between McDonalds, Tim Hortons and Starbucks have heated up significantly.

The power of storytelling + a dash of synchronicity

I was recently travelling on business, and had the occasion to be transferring planes in Toronto on Friday Feb 8th. That’s the day that Ontario and the whole east coast where hammered by one of the worst snowstorms in decades. Arriving from snowless Vancouver en route to Montreal, I knew immediately that my connecting flight [...]

Newspapers in 2013: Not dead, just different

As Mark Twain, noted American humourist declared in 1897, “The reports of my death were greatly exaggerated.” The same could be said of print newspapers in 2013.

Super Bowl Sunday: The battle for eyeballs and wallets is on. How will RIM and BlackBerry 10 hold up?

First off, a confession: I’m not a huge football fan. Being Canadian however, I love to both play and watch hockey. So on some level, I do understand the primal urge to sit around the big screen, partaking in a shared social experience, beer in hand, tossing back munchies and cheering for the favored team. [...]

Tracked, targeted and tired: Consumer prey dons camouflage to go private in public as a leading trend for 2013

We joke in our house that my husband is a digital dinosaur. He can text, but seldom does from his flip phone. He has no apps, isn’t on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. He doesn’t know what Pinterest is, doesn’t blog and only uses email occasionally. Short of showing up in a Google search as having [...]
