Welcome to The Bog

Starting modestly as a class assignment, and then forgotten I have returned with the intention of embarking on a major "wetland restoration project" with the goal of bringing The Bog back to its future glory.

3 large scale ads-When things come toghether its a beauiful thing



This ad by TBW a is a great example of how a bunch of elements both social, political, and just plain fun can come toghether to make something beatuful, not only getting attention for your brand, but also making an interesting social commentary. The music is also perfect.



This ad by BBH, NYC is a beautifully done. The sea of skin gets down to somthing deeper, about vaseline and moisturiing your skin as part of the bigger picture. It is well produced and get the point accross in a beautiful way.



I love this ad by coke, at first if you didn't know any better you might think it is CGI, but there is somthing slightly off about it, and then the payoff and you realize that every stop in the film is an actor or actress holding thier position. Great example of alot of elements coming together.

AMV / BBDO london



This simple billboard, advertisng "kids christmas company" a UK childrens charity, is effective in the picture taken, but it the bilboard is made of glass rather than a picture of the background I think it looses its effect.

R/GA




Love this ad from R/GA uses a pretty shocking image to really get the message that this floss takes no prisoners, when it goes to work in you mouth. Simple great AD

Secret Weapon Marketing



Controversial or risky ads such as this are not surprising from Secret weapon this funny, smart ad for Jack in the box is rightfully controvertial making fun of menapausal women, but it's in good fun so I have no problem with it, although I can't say the same about my mom shhh.

David&Goliath



An effective and different ad for casino, takes a simple quick witted,a nd funny aproach, that is a welcome change from typical VEGAS flare.

Modernista



Great ad for Cadillac by Modernista (alhtough cadillac is byby) the ad expertly melded the copy and naration with the visuals and it has a story line or build up unlike most care commercials.

Mother




Mother's "whats the worst thing that can happen?" campaign is good stuff for Dr. Pepper. I like it becuase it took a risk that paid off, but it wasn't pushing the envelope just becuase it could, it did so in a tastfull funny way. Turning a sistuation everyone can relate to in one way or another an showing it in a funy entertaining way. I also love seeing actors tht are now all over theaters in commercials
