I was just talking yesterday about how cool I thought the new Mentos Gum billboards were in Toronto. I drove by one in the image of a cup of coffee yesterday on Front Street and wished that I would have pulled over to snap a pic. As luck would have it, today there is a full story on the campaign in Marketing Magazine. Be sure to watch the video.

I did a bit of PR on an Oregon Lottery campaign last year through Borders Perrin Norrander, Portland and Reginald Pike. You can view that campaign on my YouTube page. This new campaign, by Laika's Aaron Sorenson, is making the rounds on all the trade sites & I think it's amazing. Great work BPN.

Here's an interesting site. Not only is it based on the theory that every ad campaign has been done before, but that they've all been done before by one man. That man is Ben Dunn. Scooped from AdFreak. For the record, I don't think it's all Ben Dunn before.

Dirty dancing disco bunnies get it on in this new video directed by PLEIX. Producton company is Chased By Cowboys.

The Directors Bureau has launched a great new website. I love how it looks like a blog and it is so easy to navigate. One thing though, they really should have updated the director's bios. Check out how out of date the lovely Sofia Coppola's is. Yeesh.

I joined Facebook last week. I was holding out on doing it and now that I have an account I have to admit that I have a Facebook addiction. I'm sure it's a temporary fascination and that the novelty will wear off soon, right? If you have a Facebook account, you can view my profile here.

Okay, both of the postings for today, Audi (below) and Mercedes Benz, were scooped from yesterday's Shots Cut & Paste and I think they are both amazing. This gorgeous Mercedes spot is beautifully directed by Psyop via CLM BBDO. I also have always loved the song they used - It's a Wonderful Life by Sparklehorse. Director Robert Logevall (Anonymous Content) used the same song years ago in a Jack Daniels commercial.

Not only is this spot amazing, I love the design of the page it's posted on. It's a viral / HD-TV spot for the launch of Audi TT in Australia. Concept and Art Direction by Matt Pyke, programming by Karsten Schmidt. Commissioned by The One Centre.

I just got this winners email from the Dubai Lynx awards. The TV/Cinema Grand Prix winning spots for the Melody Channel are hilarious. Watch Private Lesson here and Hulk here. I prefer Hulk, the burger, the boobs, too funny.
