I want to share this link with you (sent to my office by one of our clients who knows what's up) to give you a taste of what I get to deal with on a daily basis. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/design_hell While at times it can be very frustrating (and humorous) to provide client services to people who … Continue reading A Taste of the Good Life
Friday Funday
Just wanted to a take a quick minute to wish everyone a happy Friday and a fun-filled weekend. Here's a video from a Volkswagen campaign.

I like when the people scream and … Continue reading Viral Video Wednesday
Nakey Time for Air New Zealand
Okay, so I have to confess this ad for Air New Zealand made me giggle. They also did an in-flight safety video. While it's informative, it's also super hilarious. I can only imagine the looks on the passengers faces when they turn it on! To see more about the campaign, or to see the bloopers … Continue reading Nakey Time for Air New Zealand

This video is a few years old, but it's hilarious.
Top Brands on (and off) Twitter
Of the 100 most mentioned brands on Twitter, the vast majority do not have corporate accounts. Imagine the influence that these brands could have if they were engaging in conversations with consumers via Twitter. They could answer questions, respond to reviews and, in general, gain insight into how their customers feel about their brands. So … Continue reading Top Brands on (and off) Twitter
