Cereal from the 80s
Ahh cereal boxes, I fondly remember the days of my childhood when my mum would take me shopping and I’d hassle her the entire time for some Sugar Puffs only because they contained a pair of 3d glasses to use with the game on the back of the box.
If I thought I was annoying back then I would hate to see what kids would do for the cereal boxes in the video below:
You know the drill, it’s the end of the month and you’re racing to do your expenses so that accounts can process them in time for payday and you seem to be missing enough receipts to a) make up for the actual amount you spent that month or b) buy yourself Fifa 2010 for the Playstation 3.
Well no longer do you need to ask every cab driver in town for an extra couple of blank receipts thanks to this expense report generator.
Ok so that’s not entirely the point of this great online tool from the upscale steakhouse restaurant Maloney & Porcelli. It’s actually to attract more corporate client lunchers who have been extremely cautious about putting $50 steaks on expenses in the current financial climate. And seeing as the restaurant is right next to Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Blackstone, you can imagine that this sort of clientele makes up a large amount of their customers.
The thinking behind the expense generator is that it makes it easy to turn your frivolous steak(s) with your client into something more responsible like a taxi fare or office supplies. Simply input the amount of your Maloney & Porcelli bill and the generator will produce a number of realistic looking receipts for other things to fool your accounts department. Forget trying to sign blank receipts with different handwriting and types of pen, this is the future. Read more…
Check this out, Tokyo-based creative agency SET has developed this sexy looking QR code using artwork from Takashi Murakami to promote the work that the two have done together. The code sends you to this site.
I would say this is exactly the type of work that agencies need to be showcasing to brands to get them on board with QR codes. There is a big need for slaping logos and artwork over these things. It often just requires a bit of creative thought. For example check out the rest of the designs from SET for other brands:
Who needs QR codes and alternate reality applications when you can just throw an actual video into a magazine? Read more…
After writing about the best of Nike’s mobile marketing campaigns, I started to think all the cool football ads they have produced over the years. I’ve compiled a list of my personal top 17 ads in no particular order, although after some thought I think “Nike Take It To The Next Level” is my number one.
What’s your favourite?
One of the best, I remember the buzz going around when this came out in 1998 and all the lads humming the tune on the football pitch every time they did a bit of skill.
Apart from the nice bit of skill Davids does, I like how him and Bierhoff leave the rest of their football friends to blow up in the building.
