Good, bad, ugly in ads, adverts, advertising

It really fucks my tits off that while im trying to get a job as an art director in the ad world there are people in the job I want to have pumping out shit like that.

Everyone has to pump out shit at some point. Most ads are shit.

meh, agencies yet again using popular videos on youtube and turning them into adverts

about 3 years too late

That Hive heating fucking advert. Made up stupid nonsensical rhymes irritate the fuck out of me! Cue stupid rhymes...

^Yes. That melt doing the singing/talking whatever, should be lashed to a radiator.
Then, hive could control the level of burns he receives. 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree.

Turn it to eleven.

So the whole purpose of Hive is to override your thought out times you set up for your heating? That and making be hate everything about it?

Beats the living shit out of injury lawyers for you

Lego ad break takeover:

I did a very similar thing with a client about 2 years ago but we only owned the transitions between ads.

Just idle curiosity, anyone remember this?

Gang of youth hang around in the street, an old codger wearing a medal walks past and the kids JEER AND MOCK. The old geezer lays flowers at a memorial, one of the kids notices the name on the memorial and researches it online and realises the old man is a war veteran laying flowers for his fallen comrades.

The next day the old man walks past again and the gang of youths salute him.

Ring a bell? I think it was eastern European, can't find it. Dunno what the ad was for, maybe a search engine?

Awesome. do you know who did that?

You over at the ny office any time soon?

It was created by one of our UK creative agencies; Drum in conjunction with PHD. They're run by Ella D'amato who's husband (Sam) is Managing Partner & Head of Strategy at M2M UK... full on media power couple.

Drum did the work for my client a couple of years ago too...

No New York visits on the horizon for me. I'm more likely to be in Geneva on a regular basis this year. Also pretty excited about a potential trip to Myanmar for a client pitch.

How's the new location treating you?

Not as exciting but still a TV first.

That Hive heating fucking advert. Made up stupid nonsensical rhymes irritate the fuck out of me! Cue stupid rhymes...

The advert winds me up no end. The nonsense twee belittling childish rhyme I can deal with; For me it's the entirely invented need of 'Being able to avoid worrying about your heating while out' bullshit.

I've never given a fuck about the heating at home, technology sorted that problem about 30 years ago or more with electric timers and a thermostat.

Absolute cunt of an advert.
