Paid for in Meat
Tuesday, July 22, 2014
Montana’s has releases the world’s first ad campaign paid for in meat.
To prove that Montana’s Best of BBQ Sampler event is irresistible, the Montana’s team tried to shoot an entire ad campaign by bartering with BBQ ribs, sausages, chicken, brisket, and shrimp. And it worked.
Created by Vancouver-based ad agency One Twenty Three West, Montana’s surprised real businesses in Toronto by simply walking in and offering a plate of BBQ meat in exchange for goods and services.
Over two days of bartering and shooting, they received a psychic reading, an MMA lesson, a manicure, a yoga lesson, men’s skin care products, some new shoes, a haircut, a bouquet of flowers, an area rug, a massage (view below) and even a real tattoo.
But the bartering didn’t end there. The entire production crew and the advertising agency agreed to take part of their payment in BBQ.

Getting it on With Downy
Wednesday, July 2, 2014
I love director Margo Weathers’ fashionable eye, and I love that she’s brought that to this new Downy spot for Grey New York.
Weathers, who created this commercial via Supply&Demand, describes the spot as a threesome between a man, a woman and their clothes. The spot reminds me a bit of Axe’s “Getting Dressed“, one of my favourite spots ever, but I’m ok with that.
