Posted in Advertising and Communication, France | 1 Comment
AKA the sexiest hand in the world, is a revamped commercial for Perrier, which originally aired on our screens in the 1970s and was censured for being too saucy.
The ‘new’ advert is generating a nice bit of buzz at the moment, combining both traditional advertising, and a digital campaign which includes a dedicated micro-site with [...]

Love them or loathe them, Starbucks are an iconic brand. Nothing beats the Starbucks experience whilst blogging away on a Saturday afternoon.
Anyhow, the bottom line is that Starbucks sponsored last month’s London Blogger’s meet up, and I just thought I would drop a quick line about their latest UK initiatives.
Starbucks recently launched an instant coffee [...]

Here are a couple of outdoor/newspapers ads that recently caught my eye whilst travelling on the Tube/bus.
I really like this 3D poster at a bus stop spotted on Lavender Hill in Clapham. It stands out from the crowd, and the 3D effect will certainly get parents and kids excited about the movie.
I also spotted this [...]

Just found this old French advertisement on YouTube for Vandamme Pain d’epice… nostalgia, nostalgia! I bet all Frenchies are singing behind their computer screen!
Prosper sadly vanished from our screens years ago, but still remains the ultimate 1980s 4 o’clock snack (as we call it in France!)

Is average better than excellent?

I got thinking about excellent advertising campaigns I’ve seen in the past, for instance this, this or this but to name a few.
The Drumming Gorilla by Fallon was a major success, but the follow-up truck ad received mixed reviews
Is average advertising better than excellent advertising? If an ad is outstanding, follow-ups tend to be somewhat [...]

Wodka is a product that has been out for a while now, and you just have to love their campaign!
With the influx of Poles in the UK, and the expansion of Europe, Polish Vodka Wodka has become a new item in UK’s shopping baskets. This has to be the best alcohol campaign I have [...]

Ryanair has landed in hot waters again…
President Nicolas Sarkozy’s spokesman on Monday assailed as “unacceptable” an ad campaign for budget airline Ryanair featuring a picture of the French leader and his girlfriend Carla Bruni.
In the advertisement published in the popular daily Le Parisien, Bruni and Sarkozy are seen smiling dreamily as a caption next [...]

Posted in Advertising and Communication | No Comments
Good-bye Waterloo, Hello St Pancras. As you are probably more than aware, the Eurostar found a new home earlier this week. Check out the ad and let me know what you think – hit or miss?
It did cause quite a lot of controversy over here in the UK. I think the hooligan is very [...]

I’m sure there must be thousands of people who wonder what ‘poking’ is
25/11/2008 - 12:48 pm
Too right! Don’t even get me started with Twitter… I’ve given up trying to explain its purpose to my friends…
25/11/2008 - 10:19 pm
Me too. Although once I explained what it does, all my friends were all hooked on Twitter. Sadly, the moment Twitter stopped sending updates via sms in the UK, they all went back to their FB status updates…. *sigh*
