More About Advertising

2016 is almost upon us but there’s just time to squeeze in another best ad of 2015, this one from Buzzman in Paris for IKEA’s tables. Tables are pretty boring so the theme ‘Naturiste’ is allowable, if a tad contrived. French agencies have contributed more than their fair share of our best ads, so well.

Recap 2015: Advertising to Baby Boomers

Advertising to Baby Boomers

We began the year with Yours Truly apologizing for my myopic take on Facebook, followed by much crowing about my prescient take on Facebook: What I didn’t foresee is Facebook becoming the generic virtual space for keeping up with friends from high school, college, work through the decades, etc. These aren’t friends you necessarily hang out with now – and Facebook was originally a ‘here and now’ place for college kids.

George Parker: Scotts headline Super Bowl build-up

More About Advertising

Over at AdScam, because of my huge global audience (It’s my blog, so I can make s**t up, OK?) I get many inquiries from wankers who want me to run ads, or host sponsored posts. I turn most of them down because most are for shitty products or services, and amazingly many of them expect.
