Everything is everything

Wieden + Kennedy do it again. Love the technique. What a creative way to meet the brief (which I imagine was along the lines of 'show our entire range of products, focusing on the Civic') while producing a music video that you have to see again and again to take it all in. Great track selection (supposedly it's a remix of 'Atlas' by Battles) and mix of SFX. My faith in creative advertising is restored.

We trust harder

The Weiden + Kennedy Optimism blog is always good for inspirational articles, ads and ideas. Case in point: this excerpt from ex-Avis CEO Robert Townsend's business guide, Up the Organization, describing the process by which DDB sold through the 'We try harder' campaign.

Moral of the story: A little trust goes a long way.

The rich white men fight back


Hard to believe Bentley actually signed off on this poster, but, whoever thought it up, I salute you (if you know what I mean).
