How to make people look at your ad

Personally I am very excited to watch this movie, "This is the End"

On this blog I want to talk about how how this movie made their commercial ad in brilliant way. 

They simply played with the April fool. 

Basically, they released a fake movie trailer called "Pineapple Express 2."

The point is that many people loved the Pineapple Express, and it is almost positive that same people will love this movie too. 

The fake trailer was to lead people to watch this new movie, and I thought it was successful marketing campaign. 

If you haven't watched it, it wouldn't be so bad to watch it. 

It is funny.

New Kind of Advertising Tactics

So I personally think this is very successful advertising showing the quality of the 3D LED TV. 

Personally as a motion graphic student, I was amazed by their thoughts and execution on this short commercial. 

If any haven't watch this, Strongly suggest to watch it!

Illustration and art from people I like!

My roommate and her boyfriend are two of the most talented people I know. It's illustration and fine art, not advertising, but worth a look!

Does this make you want Sony headphones?

Didn't get this ad at first but it kept me looking until I did...which makes it a success. Clever, Sony. I approve. Nothing like cleaning those music notes out after a good song.

Customers don't want ads, they want conversation

Pencil Sculptures...you will be amazed

I WISH I SAW THIS BEFORE WE DID THE Pencils of Promise CAMPAIGN.
I really don't know how this would've helped me but here are some ridiculously exquisite sculptures made from pencils...but not exactly in the way we approached it.

Actually, I think I might've just thought of an idea for a PoP campaign inspired by this... hmm...

The 40-30-30 Rule: Why Risk Is Worth It

The 40-30-30 Rule: Why Risk Is Worth It

Putting a creative spin on necessary negative imagery in advertising

While working on the Pencils of Promise campaign we several times ran into problems because we were using too much negative imagery to try to "guilt" the target audience into helping. This ad campaign for British Columbia Children's Hospital had to battle a similar issue. They need donations to expand the hospital because it's become too cramped. However, the way they show the negative conditions is in a creative way. Instead of showing their actual cramped space with sick children and helpless doctors, they chose to use optical illusions for powerful imagery that sends a strong message.
Take a look!

Weeds Guerilla Marketing

Weeds (the TV show) sent this bouquet of hemp plants (not the ones with thc) to media agencies to promote the new season of the show. Quite a clever and funny guerilla marketing technique. Certainly gives people something to talk about.
