When it comes to advertising, Volkswagen really has it figured out.
This is a ode to their 2011 superbowl commercial / one of the best of last year. -

Historically brilliant.
Bravo for taking the boring (sorry Grade 7 history teacher!) and making something brilliant out of it. -
Video reblogged from Fuck yeah, Advertising!
For all of the times that I’ve spent in high school locker rooms being choked by way of the 21st century mustard gas of the lowly and the testosteroned, this advertisement by Axe actually makes up for most of their wrongs (besides the permanently burnt nostrils).
The simplicity with a twist (So sorry destiny!) is what makes this a killer marketing effort.

If they want a lemon; tastes so nice; don’t think twice, give them a nice juicy slice.
Ah, advertising in the 90s. So beautiful.

Who doesn’t like clever adverstising and cycling? And organic food cycling exploration ads?! The holy trinity of a marketing/cycling nerd?

Swag. Marketing at its best.TTC rejects cheeky ad featuring Moses in a revealing position
The TTC has rejected a mischievous Toronto Jewish Film Festival ad that depicts Moses inadvertently flashing pixilated genitals while exiting a limousine.
The ad, an ersatz homage to Britney Spears and other underdressed celebrities, is part of a series of Moses-themed ads for the festival, which runs May 7-15. -
While we’re on the topic of aesthetic preferences:
Dear Second Cup,
I appreciate that you’re playing the 35 things in 35 years card.
But add one and round it out to an even 36, ok?Your cups are ugly. I’m no logogoist, but shit’s ugly.
The cups were no doubt ugly when you first opened shop in 1975, and as you celebrated your 35th anniversary, I was still putting the java in the ugliest cups on the market.Regards,
dbThere’s a reason why the coffee-drinking youth prefer Starbucks (despite their terrible-tasting drinks). Hint: aesthetic preference.

To encourage more businesses to take part in Earth Hour, WWF executed this creative direct mail promotion featuring a custom candle. The yellow candle was placed inside of a box designed to look like a building with all of its lights on. As the candle is removed from the box, the windows of the building go dark.
The WWF reported that thanks to the direct mail promotions they used prior to Earth Hour in 2010, corporate participation increased 260% from the previous year.
Brilliant piece of marketing.
See, bitches, we don’t just sell stuff.Effect change by thinking brilliant.
And save the world, you. -

Born of Fire
… you see, it’s the hottest fires that make the hardest steel.Guys, this is actually a fucking unreal ad.
Props Chrysler… you have never appealed to me, but on the basis of one solid ad (and the promise of more gritty commercials, although without Eminem), you have at least made me feel a) like a hardass and b) your brand actually has some value.Way to play this one cool, ladies and gentlemen.

If you don’t like them, change your mind.
Hilarious to a certain demographic.
Case in point: appeal to your demographic. -
