A cocktail of advertising, social media, and technology
Male vs. female brain
This ad for Goldstar beer really mad me chuckle – it’s definitely something I can relate to!

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 [...]
