Guardian - Three little pigs - (2012)
"Three little pigs" shows Guardian's open journalism and how the story unfolds from the front page headline in print to the comments online. A story well told, I'll bet you've never seen the three little pigs like this before.
Getting the full story, seeing the full picture has been the proposition for the Guardian since the dawn of their advertising campaign. Remember "Points of view" from 1986? Still brilliant.
AAF Dallas / ADDY's - Special Order - (2012) :60 (USA)
Is this guy a VO, the obsessed copywriter, or the client? I reckon it's the latter.
Luckily, obsession has its place at the 2012 Dallas ADDY's.
AAF Dallas / ADDY's - The Tantrum - (2012) :30 (USA)
The next change the client requested is to use comic sans in the body copy. They even said pretty please.

AAF Dallas / ADDY's - The Sneeze - (2012) :30 (USA)
Its funny because it's true. At least for the people who can't remember their napkin-notes. Can't have been that good of an idea then. ;)

Because all ad people are really rubbish parents.

AAF Dallas / ADDY's - The Walls - (2012) :30 (USA)
You know how it is, once you start on a roll with flashmobs and virals and guerilla ideas, you can't stop, even if you run out of walls.

AAFDallas / ADDY's - The Mural - (2012) :60 (USA)
Dad spends too long and many swear words lecturing kid for drawing on the wall, even spelling doom that his terrible kerning will make him end up as a copywriter. Because pitting one discipline against the other in advertising is always fun.

AAFDallas / ADDY's - The Critique - (2012) :60 (USA)
This is the man who sees ideas done before, in executions containing ladies with great boobs and lopsided logos.

Americans for Grammar - Biatch / Fuk the sistem
Poor grammar. We see it every day. In facebook posts, in emails, in memos... and graffiti tags on the street. Created by Y&R Chicago these print ads drive to a blog where people can post their own found mis-tags, as well as donate money to an urban language and grammar school.
and you know I only posted it because I thought "Biatch" was great. :P

AM Collective - With Love, AM - Valentine's street art (2012)
The AM Collective (on twitter @AM_Collective ) decided to spread some love in Shoreditch this year by painting an anatomic heart and lots of little pink and red broken and whole hearts all over it on the wall of Village Underground yesterday. They then asked the punters and passers by to write messages in the hearts, expressing their love "or lack thereof".
Punters are encouraged to pick a particular heart to write within them, and slowly the piece becomes a fragmented book of many stories – almost like a cubicle toilet but a tad more romantic. Just like our beloved Shoreditch.
Happy Valentine's to you too.

DKT Prudence - Persuasion / Not a monster - long copy ad for condoms
"Things we're getting even more interesting, and I'm not just talking about the conversation. I beg your pardon? That's why you locked yourself in the bathroom? That's what you do when things get more interesting? Do you do this when you watch a movie that's not so good, and then, suddenly, there's a twist and it gets better?"
I'd be climbing out of that bathroom window to get away from motormouth here, personally, but hey different strokes.
PPC Cement - Brick - print, South Africa
You can do (almost) anything with cement, and to bring this point home, the Jupiter Drawing room made a cement Lego block to remind you that your imagination is the limit.
Jalouse Magazine - Une Fille Comme Les Autres / Viral video - (2012)
Ashley Smith starrs in this short video for french fashion magazine Jalouse. Ashley plays the girl "we all want to be" carefree, sexy and with unlimited time on her hands to both change outfits constantly and sex-up cute guys she meets. Jealoius? OUI! C'est bon ça!
Even with the VO explaining every move, we lust for her life.
