Pointy Haired Dilbert - Chandoo.org

This is awesome, the new incredible hulk campaign on IMDB is nicely done, I have taken a few screen shots of it to post here, just in case they removed it (but go see it on IMDB to understand what I mean)

This shows how to create incredible advertisements by integrating flash (rich media) with regular content creatively. What do you think?

Rat rides cat, cat rides dog, that rides on your t-shirt

I am just numbed seeing this outrageous hilarity in the name of news making and selling on CNN, apparently you can buy t-shirts for some of the hand picked news items on CNN by clicking the t-shirt icon next to headline link on their website. I dont know what to say, except that I want to wear a shirt that says “flying fish stays aloft for 45 seconds“.

Wow, Rediff actually published this article on how hairstyles make successful CEOs

So much fuzz over a complait fluff is sTRESSing me…

PS: do read the comments on that page for additional entertainment

6 of the outdoor ads that I think are really cool, see for yourself:

First, one of the most memorable brands of India, Amul, their advertising strategy is simple, every time connect with audience with messages that are from current news items. The humor is subtle yet striking. [See more of amul ads here]

Ad informing people about reduced salt content in Amul Butter:

Amul ad when Nano got announced:

Now, a Jet airways ad announcing removal of one row of seats to increase space, pretty neat execution

Reebok outdoor ad announcing spring balance shoes:

I think this one is the best of lot, Calcium Sandoz telling us how strong their product can make your bones:

Finally vodafone radio, again neat execution and format:

Can this get any more ridiculous?

Wow, I am impressed by the new Nike commercial “my better is better than your better | my power is more powerful than your power”. Watch the 30 second spot, listen to the words, arent they inspiring? Doesn’t the ad make you run faster, play harder or just do better whatever you are at.

I must have spent countless hours studying Nike brand and its ads during brand management, ASPM (advt and sales promotion management) classes during MBA, its one of the brands that gives meticulous attention to the messages the ad / promo sends out. Be it the classic tag commercial or the numerous football ads or anything else, they focus on people, their ability to do something above average, their strength and how Nike empowers them. Kudos to the creative team behind this.

PS: watch the 60 second nike “my better…”

or so would Economic Times likes us to believe. Otherwise how on earth would explain ridiculous news grouping like this?
Rush to ET, you might still be able to catch a glimpse of this master piece.

Such pity in the age of context sensitivity and related content discovery. Looks like someone from TOI migrated to ET and wanted to showoff big way :), These days my daily trips to news paper sites turn out to be more comical than watching back to back episodes of family guy.
