Well, it’s actually one of a series of spots produced by Stockhom based production houseCamp David for Education First language schools. Those of us living in Shanghai will recognize their bizarre “Chinese person tied to a white person” print ads from a few years back (FYI I can’t find any more of those on their [...]

I Like: Awesome Intel viral
By sushipan in advertisingHere’s a new viral spot from my beloved old employer Intel:
This is a damn good spot. The idea of someone running around the desktop environment isn’t that new, but this high-end execution that utilizes all the familiar time-killing sites we’ve come to know and love should fulfill agency Venables Bell and Partner’s goal of getting [...]

I Like: Funny Chinese Mentos ad
By sushipan in advertising, funnyThis Mentos ad cracked me up.

By sushipan in advertisingNot sure which agency (most likely a local one) took a crack at this campaign, but I never understand why they don’t spend just a little bit more dough to singers who can actually sing the jingle in decent English. Visually, there’s nothing wrong with this Roewe spot, which successfully highlights the 3G features of [...]

Ad agency HR needs copywriter

Eat, Work, Eat, Drink, Porn
By sushipan in advertising, food and drink, travelJust got back from Taiwan. It was a short trip, just five days. Here’s a quick summay:
