Thought that the AMV work for Doritos was worth a mention.
If only because it made me wonder two things.
How will ad agencies make sure that the world knows about their fabulous work ... and appreciates it ... when they haven't seen it on TV? And how many people seeing or doing something is "good" (appreciating of course that if they are the right people and buy the product, that's what counts)?
Anyhoo, not sure that I have answers to either.
In the meantime, it's well-worth taking a look at the really quite sweet piece of work that the chaps at the parent (AMV) have made to celebrate the launch of Doritos cheesy balls (or somesuch).
They got a bunch of dodgeball teams in to face a series of internet-controlled cannons.
Lord knows whether it's working. Nice idea, though ...
What a FANTASTIC site ... the best and coolest film title sequences at the Art of the Title Sequence.
Favourites include the one pictured above - Baz Luhrman's interpretation of R&J and Mulholland Drive.
You can also re-live some classics (like Saturday Night Fever and Barbarella, for example).
What a creative treat
Been meaning to take my hat off to this absolutely stunning piece of work for The Zimbabwean, a newspaper created by exiles of that sorry nation.
As a former resident (back in the good days, when it was one of the great hopes for Soutern Africa), it's been utterly depressing to watch the country slide further and further into disaster - or be dragged there.
So this campaign was particularly resonant as it makes the point that, thanks to Mugabe's regieme, the Zimbabwean dollar might as well be used as wallpaper for all that the notes are now worth. There are a couple of pics above and below and more on their flickr photostream.
There were millions and trillions of dollars used in the campaign - the value of which plummeted as the posters sat there for no more than a couple of weeks.
A brilliant, brilliant campaign. I thought.
Hello lovely people ...
Apologies that this is a bit late again ... it's been a busy weekend for me. Just so that you know - as ever - the data tables were run on the 1st May ... but it's taken until now to pull this post together. Sorry about that ...
And secondly ... a small plea. AdAge, in their infinite wisdom, have made it a bloody sight harder to create these tables - you now can't pull off the whole table in one go and now have to do things page-by-page.
SO, while we're really happy that people seem to be interested in this table, can I just ask that people don't copy and paste it wholesale into their own blogs, please? Okay, it may not be terribly social network-ey, but credit where it's due (and, in this case, a couple of hours credit are due), please link back to this page? Thanking you kindly in advance ...

For those who may be interested, this chart is based on the AdAge Power 150, the top UK bloggers on all things advertising and marketing on 1 August 2008. If you feel that you should be included, you can get in touch with AdAge here, who will sort you out. As soon as you're in, I'll pick you up in this filleting of the AA chart.
