When the message means more than the medium December 15, 2009

Marketers are often taught that above all else, they must ensure that the integrity of the corporate logo is protected. It must be reproduced in the right size, format, colour and only be used by official partners. But what if you’re a charity working in such areas as rural Uganda? This fascinating article on Mercy Corps’ [...]

When web design goes bad December 15, 2009

I very much enjoyed this little story from The Oatmeal, which goes through the process when a client asks a new media creative to redesign their website. It’s called “How a web design goes straight to hell”. Check out the full story after the link – first cartoon below. It made me smile. [...]

When you cross the iPhone with a book, you get the “phone book”. This is a nice little idea that I picked up via BBH Labs. Essentially, it’s an interactive storybook for children utilising the iPhone along with paper technology. I think this is a mock-up but it’s a lovely little idea for integrating digital media [...]

AdAge has a very interesting article about how Tiger Woods’ recent bad behaviour may not be a bad thing for his sponsor Gillette. Alongside footballer Thierry Henry (who recently committed handball, preventing Ireland from reaching the World Cup Finals) and tennis player Roger Federer (who moaned a lot while losing in the US Open finals), [...]

We all know those gorgeous Apple iPod ads with people dancing around to hits. But a friend sent me this fabulous BT vintage ad for the Inphone.
