Powder Mountain ad campaign by Super Top Secret

March 21st, 2012 | Filed under: Marketing | Add a Comment »

Now this is an ad campaign. Beautiful black and white billboards warn tourists away from Powder Mountain ski resort, so the locals can keep the ideal skiing all to themselves. Communication Arts has the whole story and more images, each of which is worth seeing. Nice work, Super Top Secret.

Crazy good ad campaign from the College for Creative Studies. I want to high-five whoever came up with this.

Apparently the theme of this blog today is, “Things I have a problem with on the internet.”

Saw this Norton ad for the first time yesterday, and was kind of blown away (in a bad way) by some of the declarations it made, especially the last two lines. It’s surprising to me that they’d run with such an openly materialist declaration for a national ad campaign. This really made it by the focus groups?

Not cool, Norton.

Brainstorming

This is what healthy brainstorming looks like. (For me, anyway.) Make sure there’s some Marie Antoinette on the iPod, throw in a hot beverage, and you’re good to go.

Amazingly smart. To attract Molecular Biology students, Aarhus University created a brochure that could only be read through a microscope.

Their applications went up 67%.

Loving work by Why Not Associates, starting with this Contagious Magazine. And I love that there’s a marketing magazine called Contagious. Big fan of this.
