I love Old Spice commercials.
You want to know me. But you can’t. I don’t know me. I’m a shapeshifter – constantly changing to adapt vicariously through others. I live in the awkward moment. That moment you show your true self – when the wall comes down. Because all the other times are meaningless. Apathetic. Uneventful. I’m fearless - destined to make you laugh, cry, and even sometimes bored. Not because I have to, but because I want to. I’m chaos -- because we are only capable of seeing the beautiful through the ugly. For every time I’ve had success, I’ve failed fifty times. I’ve made poor decisions. I’ve disappointed. I’ve lied. I constantly live in the past, wondering how I can change the future. I’m inspired – by you, and those more talented than me. I’m someone you will never be.

Ogilvy Ideas Shop - A pop-up shop for ideas brought to you by the advertising giant that is Ogilvy. They are opening up their doors, well the doors to this little shop in Brixton, for three days in February to offer free ideas to local companies and charities etc to give a little something back to the community. Clever idea!
Recent gold to come from Bud Light. I salute you Bud Light (and DDB) for making me laugh and having an old korean women say “ohhhhh….porno.”
Augmented Reality platform merges with a building. Could this be the future of outdoor/billboard advertising? Could times square become black and white instead of the multicoloured digital jungle it is today? Could the pictures you take at Picadilly Circus in London become useful? Well, this video explores this notion.
Ha, priceless! There are ads (or agencies) that try to change the world for the better, then there are ads (or agencies) that just don’t give a shit. This is the latter.
CP+B Bound
Today, I signed the official document stating me as a winter 2010 intern at CP+B Miami. I’m trying to stay calm, however, I’m actually freaking out. With most things, I have this uncanny ability to form expectation or have some sort of plan to follow (that is unexpectedly beaten down by reality). In this case, I have nothing. I don’t know what to expect. I’ve never been to Miami, and I’ve never worked at an agency of this size. I’m scared to say the least. I’m scared I won’t be able to find a decent place to stay for 3 months, and I’m scared my performance will be unsatisfactory. I’m scared that by the time I get through this, I might be broke and unsatisfied.
Still, I’m excited. I’m excited about the people I will meet. I’m excited about the things I may learn. I’m excited about the doors this might open. 2010 is truly a new chapter in my life. All this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family and friends, and I truly mean that. A big shout out goes to the people at Steketee Greiner Co. They were the first to take a chance on me, and without that, this opportunity probably wouldn’t have been reality.
Thank you!
