You may or may not have seen this ad before, but it’s a famous one from the folks over at Coca Cola. In case you didn’t know, they have a much longer version (almost a making of/documentary sort of spoof) that they show down at Coke World in Atlanta (which is actually a lot more […]
With this whole change to the new domain, time has been at a premium, but there is something I wanted to discuss today:
The possibility of drawing my own ads for my book.
Last week I talked about a Netflix ad (after many tries and much thought) that I really thought would work and was creative and […]

OK so today I’m back to Netflix. I know, I know, it seems I just can’t let it go. But while I was taking a walk around the block last week, thinking of a concept for a whole ‘nother campaign, my mind made another connection to the mailman idea.
So I have the concept, but I’m […]

I hate having to do this again because it defeats the whole purpose, but no ad today for Ad Friday. Some things came up and a possible professional opportunity I had to prepare for (plus I couldn’t get my mind off it) so I didn’t focus on making an ad for today. The ideas are […]

This really sucks, especially since I’m coming off of such a high from my vacation, but I’m going to have to either delay or postpone this week’s Ad Friday. I’ll try to get something up early next week to keep the once-a-week schedule going.
Sorry, no ad today. I’m on vacation and just don’t have the time. Next week I should have a good one though.
It involves Tequila, but I can’t call it tequila.
With the Thanksgiving break I just didn’t have enough time to put together a brand new ad so I’m going to cheat here and put up what I think are my very first ads. Ever. I had no idea how to start so I just flipped through some magazines to see if any images jumped […]

I want to thank everyone who has posted comments for Ad Fridays in the past and for those who will in the future. I can’t stress how important it is to get some feedback on these ads. Without it I’ll just twiddle my thumbs around and not really now if I’m headed in the right […]

Product: Netflix (again, and more specifically their Watch Instantly feature)
Medium: Print
Campaign Tag Line: “Give’em a Break”
OK, this is one of those where you do an ad and once you’re “through with it” you move on and start thinking about other ads for other products. And now that you’ve taken the pressure off your […]
