Have you heard of Secret Invasion, the latest lineup in the MCU’s Disney+ shows? The first episode only just aired this past week and I gotta say I like what I’ve seen so far. If you have heard of the show, I’m sure you’ve encountered the visually fractured ads that have been all over the […]
#YouAreAwful
Have you watched season 6 of Black Mirror yet? The first episode is titled “Joan is Awful” and it stars Annie Murphy as Joan, who discovers a Streamberry (a streaming service that is eerily similar to Netflix) show called “Joan is Awful” (starring Salma Hayek!) based on her life. Well, Netflix has now released a […]
Popular Logos with Hidden Messages
I haven’t featured anything logo-inspired in a while, so when I came across this in my Twitter feed, I knew I’d have to share it. 😉 Having worked with branding at a previous job, I can be a bit of a logo nerd; as such, I already knew most of these hidden messages nestled within […]
Yahoo’s New Logo: Just ‘Meh’
What do you guys think of Yahoo!’s new logo? Just in case you weren’t aware, this new logo was revealed after a 30 Days of Change campaign which announced the internet giant’s plans for a new logo and built anticipation by showcasing a different logo every day for — you guessed it — 30 days. […]
Wait, That’s Not a Real TV Show?
I’m really digging these ads by New York PBS station Thirteen. Meant to poke fun at today’s popular lineups, “The fact that you thought this was a real show says a lot about the state of TV.” 😛 That being said, I personally wouldn’t mind watching Knitting Wars. Grannies can get feisty! You may also like: Secret Invasion […]
Game of Brands: The Game of Thrones Houses as Modern Corporations
Stock photo website Shutterstock has followed the steps of other brilliant marketing campaigns that have used their products in advertisements to appeal to the geek crowd. Taking advantage of today’s popularity of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice novels — as well as the Game of Thrones television show! — they have taken six of the Great Houses […]
It’s All About Perception [Real Beauty]
There’s a good chance you’ve already seen Dove’s viral video campaign “Dove Real Beauty Sketches,” but I figure it’s worth a mention on this blog because I love the message behind it: Women are their own worst beauty critics. Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful. At Dove, we are committed to creating a world […]
Lego Pop Culture Riddles
It’s no secret that I absolutely ADORE Lego’s clever marketing campaigns — can you believe that this is my fifth post applauding them? (see: 1, 2, 3, 4) Even if you may be getting sick of my Lego craze, I believe that this series of posters deserves a special mention because it engages the audience and […]
Go Vote for a New Monopoly Token! (And Save Your Favorite!)
Hasbro is currently running a Facebook campaign that allows YOU to vote for a new, permanent player’s token. This kinda sucks if you don’t use Facebook, but if you do, go vote now! As you can see above, the five candidates for a new token are: robot, ring, cat, helicopter, and guitar. Right now the cat […]
Disney Princesses Meet Haute Couture
Sigh. You know I’m a sucker for holiday-themed store displays. I personally have not yet had a chance to check out the famed NYC displays in person this year, but I have been following them via the web, and — as it seems to be the case every holiday season — each store has outdone […]
