“Friendly Competition”

Audi has been doing some great ads lately, first with the Green Police ads (more on those later). This ad is fun, and honestly makes me proud to be an Audi owner. Truth in engineering right?

“Whiteboard”

The Martin Agency had a winner on thier hands when they came up with this magnificent campagin for UPS. Slate has an excellent write up on the campaign. Now The Martin Agency is back for round two still featuring Andy Azula and more “gizmos”.

“Happening Now”

Goodby Silverstein & Partners is at it again, this time with my new favorite ad. Sprint has done very little to disappoint me as of late. Now if only the company and their offerings were as good as their ads.

Funny Commercial of the Week

I want to believe that I’m not the only person that finds this commercial (and possibly the product itself) disturbing and borderline inappropriate. Then again it could just be my lost innocence.

“Stay Smart”

Holiday Inn Express’s latest ad campaign developed by Fallon Worldwide is one of the funniest campaigns running right now. This ad is so far my favorite in the series.

“Piles”

Forget Apples ‘Get A Mac’ campaign (which I think is amazing) Nortel is taking Cisco to school with their campaign developed by Geisheker Group which highlights the energy effeciency of Nortels networks compared to Ciscos. The “Human Network” needs to rethink their strategy before those guys from up north start chipping away at that market share.

“Get more done. Now.”

Props to Sprint/Nextel to finally getting off their asses and running a campaign that says something meaningful to the consumer. I assume the same agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners is responsible for this campaign. After Sprint/Nextel’s calculated descent (I assume that it was on purpose) to the bottom of the mobile communications industry I think their redoubled efforts warrant some recognition.
