The Volkswagen Beetle. Juiced Up.

Pretty cool AR app for the new VW Beetle. You need to download the app and then point your smartphone/tablet at the outdoor posters to get the full experience. It’s nicely produced. The video below demonstrates this but I really wonder how many consumers will go to all that effort just to watch an ad? Read more…

Honor to the player. Thank you, Michael

Michael is an average looking guy who plays with the PlayStation. Michael is one of us, gamers, geeks, and lovers of beautiful commercials. “Michael” a 2 minutes short movie, featuring characters from more than a dozen games that have appeared on PlayStation videogames.

Guest editorial: No, if we’re honest.

No.

Say it.

Say it and mean it.

It’s a great word, and the only thing that stands between you and bad work with your name on it. Lately, even in digital, I have seen this letter combination become the ‘F’-word of our industry. Read more…

First Instagram music video: The Vaccines

I was intrigued when I heard that The Vaccines had called on their fans to submit festival photos, shot, filtered and uploaded via Instagram. Since Instagram has taken iPhone photography (or iPhoneography) into the mainstream, more and more mashups feed on its API.
