Losing Hair

Losing hair gradually is a problem people tend to neglect. A specially designed memo pad is made to engage people with the problem of hair loss. As users tear off memo sheets every day, the illustrated person’s “hair” becomes thinner and thinner, alerting them of possible hair loss.

On the Defense - PC Wars

Ok, I'm sure all those Mac geniuses out there are having a field day with Vista and Microsoft. Doesn't it seem like they have to defend themselves constantly? The Mojave project was the first uh-oh. Did Microsoft have to lie to the consumers to get them to like the product again? What happened to the fun and delicious Seinfeld and Bill Gates ad. That was a great tv spot, but it seems like they are stuck on trying to reconcile with the consumers. Microsoft Windows are trying to defend a product that just isn't functional.

Here is the latest try with one from the series of I'm a PC, again to defend against Mac's reputation to show how ancient PC has become. It's the new smear campaign to go along with Barach and McCain campaigns.



That commercial doesn't scream I want a PC. No strengths/attributes were included in the ad just the use of celebrity endorsements, that I'm sure was costly, but one problem with the campaign’s credibility....the ad was created using a Mac.

Your Next Advertising Frontier

Do you think you have advertised almost anywhere? At Bing Design, we have covered canvas from newspaper ads to wall murals and sock monkeys to sandals, but I think there is one space we just haven't covered...space!

JP Aerospace fly high altitude balloons into the final frontier.

Ad sizes start at $400 for a 2x2-inch canvas and for those big attention getters... 4x8-inch at $4200.

These high altitude v-shaped balloon vehicles are roughly 6,000 feet long and uses an electric propulsion to slowly reach orbit over several days. Take a look at some sample ads from the website.





I can see this beneficial to a small business or perhaps to cross promote two brands. Cut the cost of the ad and provide that innovative and "out-of-this-world" (pun intended) marketing edge you might be looking towards.

I'm Craving It.

Yesterday I was craving some McDonald's French Fries. It was exactly how I remembered them when I was a young boy going to McDonald's and having a Happy Meal with my Grandma. I stumbled upon this recent ad for McDonald's by the agency DDB, Stockholm.

Just so you know how good these tasty golden french fries are, watch the ad below.




Yeah....that good.

And to further clarify why McDonald's Fries are so good. To read the excerpt from Eric Schlosser's book Fast Food Nation, click here.

Stopping Leaks Better than a Plumber

A young actor with a rare talent bursts onto the scene. Huggies contracted JWT, New York for this promotion. It had to deliver a powerful message targeting moms where they spend a lot of their time...on the Internet.

Premise: The advertisement shows a father changing his son's diaper at a party. Everything in this room and even old dad gets soaking wet as soon as the diaper is off. The scenario repeats until the father is able to secure the diaper. "Huggies. Nothing stops leaks better," is the tagline at the end.



This original ad called "Geyser" aired several months ago. The popularity of the ad prompted JWT to create a "mockumentary" version, dubbed "Inside the Diaper."




Anyone with a baby boy can relate to a child and their uncontrollable urge. In order to engage moms and be able to convey a difficult message that typically compares a brand name to the "leading" brand. It's able to put a little comedy behind the natural wonders of old faithful.

Brother of the Bride

Humor and sincere. Hallmark icontinues their series of touching stories featuring greeting cards with “Brother of the Bride”, set at a wedding. Agency Leo Burnett created this spot.

In short, a young man, the brother of the bride, makes it clear through his continual conversational gaffes that he has little tact or accuracy. When he gets up to say a few words about his sister everyone is anxiously interested to hear what he’ll come out with.

But he’s taken the safe route of sharing the inspirational words from a Hallmark card. The ad is rescued from sentimentality by a humorous reference to the bride’s mother.

The Environmental Shoe

Adidas going green? Not quite...A recent ad campaign billboard in London, Adidas appears to be reaching out to the environmentally conscious type. The ad features an Adidas running shoe without typography or a logo on a billboard composed of vines, plants and foliage. The brand is well known for it's three stripe etching on the shoe that it's pretty easy to associate which brand it is. The message they are going for is clear, but only points in the right direction and is far from sincere.



Reports have come back that the vines are made of plastic. I got to say I was a little let down once I heard that...to find out that a beautiful ad that represents such a positive message is constructed of plastic that so happens to be polluting the world. Shame to hear that loss. Innovative idea nonetheless.

Guinness Light Show

Now doesn't that make you want a tall glass of Guinness. Oh goodness. It was hard to catch on what was going on in the video, but I think they could have captured this from the panoramic view that they used at the end of the video more vividly.
