Anything Else?

I prefer deep dish, get that thin crust stuff outta here.

My Story:

An enthusiastic multitasker. I have a firm belief that life is way to short, so you're going to have to get a move-on if you want to get everything you want to do done.

That's why as I'm writing this I'm listening to the latest ELBOW album, while watching SPORTSCENTER, finishing a 5-mile jaunt on a fitness bike, blending a smoothie, all from the cabin of this neat little airplane (I'm headed to Cleveland).


    It's Important to Take Risks in Advertising

    Remember that inspiring NIKE ad from last summer featuring the overweight kid jogging down an empty street with the TOM HARDY whispering about "greatness"?

    It spot was risky and unapologetic and now it's reaping rewards again, because that kid has lost 32 lbs. 

    It's all over the ad blogs, he's making rounds on the morning shows and the first thing they do is show that commercial, for free (http://bit.ly/14WqIyS)

    This is a great example of why it's important to take risks in advertising, because you never know when one of your bets is going to come from out of the blue and reward you one more time. 

    If you haven't seen it the original, here you go. http://youtu.be/2JnYcuRW_qo

    Creepy New Employees

    TLers,

    Some of you have been complaining about "creepy new hires" walking the halls of TL. Well, I just wanted to let you know, those aren't new hires, those are our old friends and coworkers, but with mustaches. I know, it's all very confusing. 

    Thankfully, TAXI 2 created a hilarious spot dispelling the idea that mustaches make you creepy.

    Enjoy.

    See, This Is What Happens When You Love Your Brand

    Damn near every brand has a window to display things and how many of those windows are intersting? The answer is, "Zero, or really close to zero." 

     

    That's why ASICS teamed with PINKY TAYLOR to add some art to some boring store windows for their "colors that run" campaign. 

     

    Look and see how cool things can get when you love your brand.
