  • Eid Mubarak to Everyone

    November 6th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    properly start trading cryptocurrency A good time to remind ourselves that advertising isn't everything. On that note, we hope you'll forgive the lack of updates in the next few days as we try to make it up to our families for one too many late nights. Peace.

  • Y&R Dubai's 3-of-a-Kind for Red Cross

    November 3rd, 2011 / Comments (0)

    This special print executions for Red Cross (Red Crescent?) doesn't really do it for us. So much work for a small payoff. And it's one ad repeated three times. Thumbs Off.

  • Our First Thumbs Off: Not so Mini

    October 30th, 2011 / Comments (2)

    start trading cryptocurrency Despite the questionable automotive design, this is one sexy product, with amazing ads to match. Mini gone dune bashing crazy? Now that's a dream brief. Below is an ambient idea leaning towards smart but nonetheless, it lacks the Mini attitude we all know and love. Not bad for regional work, but Thumbs Off for the missing umph.

  • Be Treated Like Sheikhs in Saudi

    October 25th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    Here's a self-promotional ad from a full-service production house from Saudi Arabia, Free Picture Films. If ever you get one of their directors pitching to execute one of your ideas, expect nothing less than a royal treatment. Thumbs Up to the rather inviting proposition and local Saudi insight ie: notice there are no women in sight.

    A simple Point of Sale idea that gets the gamer in us all giddy. Sure, blockbuster commercials and prints are nice, but sometimes little touches like this really bring the product alive. (Having a hot girl in army fatigues push your product doesn't hurt either.) Thumbs Up.

  • BlackBerry Outage Linked to Reduced Traffic Accidents

    October 16th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    In Dubai, traffic accidents decreased by 20 percent during the 3-day outage. Abu Dhabi reported a 40 percent decrease, and no fatalities. Imagine how safe our roads would be if iPhones stopped working.
