Oh, beautiful Ferrari

By Clay Parker Jones | October 17, 2007

This is nice. It’s a Shell ad that follows Ferrari F1 cars through various major cities. I can’t even fathom how much this must have cost, but it’s beautiful, even on YouTube. This is one of the better-optimized web videos I’ve seen.

As is this. It’s part of a mashup between Google […]

Mmm. Targeting by BMW.

By Clay Parker Jones | October 16, 2007

I love it when ads are done well. Especially when they’re targeted at me. Because then I am really certain of my love. This BMW ad is beautiful. It’s aimed square at people who already love the BMW 3 series. Gosh I love it.

Crude and Awesome

By Clay Parker Jones | September 17, 2007

NOTE: FYI, anyone reading on a feed is going to be missing out on some sweet video action.

Mens On Men [and Culture, and Advertising]

By Clay Parker Jones | September 14, 2007

I just finished reading a phenomenal set of articles and comments regarding a recent speech by Roy F. Baumeister to the American Psychological Association last August. I highly recommend a full read of all of the following:

The W+K Style

By Clay Parker Jones | August 2, 2007

What a great couple of spots. And I don’t imagine they were that expensive to produce. I like seeing ads that are really, really well done, and are really, really simple. Like this one.

And I think these, also by Wieden (the London shop) have a similar feel. Simplicity. Waist-watchers. [youtube]bnASEKS19KY[/youtube]

We don’t all have such great luck.

By Clay Parker Jones | July 30, 2007

For all’y’all who don’t speak Spanish:
“We don’t all have such great luck.”
“J. Garcia Lopez Funeral Homes. We help make difficult moments easier”
“Ask about our plans for the future.”
Not sure if the translations are 100% correct, but this is a good viral. At least, I like it. Go here to see the video. Via the Brief Blog.
