Publishing is Dead {Video}

17, Mar 2010

I’ve known I’ve wanted to be in advertising since I was probably 14 or 15. I wouldn’t be able to explain to you why but I have always been drawn to the field. That said, I never really pictured myself working in digital advertising when I was younger and thinking of the big, awesome advertising [...]

When an Ad Idea Gets Bigger than a Product

13, Feb 2010

I admit it, I freaking love the Knorr Sidekicks commercials as of late. Created by DDB, Toronto, it all started with this gem: Adorable. People liked it; they felt sorry for poor ol’ Salty. It conveyed the message well (thanks to Knorr, you won’t need Salty around anymore) but kept it lighthearted. And Salty was [...]

Top Ten Favourite Blog Finds of 2009

31, Dec 2009

It’s that time of the year again! When everyone starts rolling out their favourite lists for 2009. And I am not ashamed to admit I am a slave to trends! I hop on the bandwagon so fast, you wouldn’t even see me on the ground. I have no identity or a creative thought in my [...]

Great Spot from INPES

29, Nov 2009

As many of my friends know, I dislike smoking. And so I think this spot from INPES (France’s National Institute of Prevention and Health Education) has done a great spot on highlighting how incredibly lucky we all are to be the ones to stand here today and live our lives.

#WriteOff09 – Day 3: “I’m Going to Find a Job Using SM!”

11, Jun 2009

PREMISE As some as you may know, I recently returned to Toronto after a 6 month trip to Australia, working and traveling. I arrived back in town mid-April and immediately was on the job hunt. While my job in Australia had been good for my minimal time working there, it wasn’t wasn’t a job I [...]

Today’s Big Viral Video

27, May 2009

I saw the following video pop up on my Twitter feed this afternoon at 1pm on the Leo Burnett Twitter account, with the tweet, “#culturalfuel Vendor-Client relationship in real life situations: Just found this on FB. No comment..” I watched this video, laughed and marveled at how true it rang and then re-tweeted it on [...]

Nutrigrain Ad from 2005

22, May 2009

This is an apparently very old ad (from 2005 – holy, that’s ancient!) but it’s still absolutely hilarious and messed up. This is exactly why I love advertisers. They are so, so weird sometimes. So weird.

It’s All In the Details

6, May 2009

I know this is a little thing, but it’s the little things like this that drive me up the wall. Recently I was on the MTV.ca site enjoying some free TV programming thanks to The Hills Aftershow Show (I never claimed to have good taste in TV!) when I noticed this banner ad above me. [...]
