A fun campaign by Ogilvy & Mather. Jon Morgan and Mike Watson scoured through the three-letter codes (used to identify luggage destinations) from over 9000 airports to create 36 advertisements. Here are a few of my favourites: via TrendLand . . .
Bearded Illusions
Came across these advertisements when getting my daily dose of Business Insider. Rather entertaining. Garnier's newest ad campaign in Switzerland features men with the most luxurious beards we've ever seen…or does it? Have a closer look. via Business Insider . . .
Macca’s, the Aussie Way
Macca's. Mickey-D's. Macs. McDo. Whatever you call it, you always recognise the international fast food giant the moment you see its glowing arches. In order to celebrate Australia Day, McDonald’s has temporarily changed its name... For the next few weeks, Australians can all spot the nickname of their ever-so-loved fast food restaurant on signage across the country. An Aussie tastes menu . . .

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=isPm79xTzM4 A Christmas wish from the true ballers... Christmas was a little unconventional. We made our way to work, spotted some skinny santas, and had roast chicken instead of turkey. A wonderful one nonetheless. I hope that you all enjoyed yours too! . . .

To think that I was excited when I found out Virgin was giving out a trip to space as part of their frequent flyers program (actually, that's still quite exciting). This seems like insanity. Last Sunday, over 8 million people tuned into . . .
Naked Vodka
There are many brands that are clearly owned by men. G-Spirits liquor company is definitely one of them, evident through the release of their most recent limited edition collection: The Naked Vodka. Okay, I actually made up that name in all entirely. It's called the 'G-Spirits Collection No. 1' but I thought it was quite dull considering its selling point. THE FOREMENTIONED SELLING POINT: This . . .
Train: Chateau de Versailles
This is one train I would not mind travelling on. Despite the uncomfortable looking orange-brown seats, I am sold. In this Ambient Marketing project by Encore Eux Agency, a train in Paris was transformed into a moving replica of the Chateau de Versailles - think ornate paintings, golden sculptures and intricately designed ceilings. It even includes a mock library, Hall of Mirrors . . .
