Would this be the first time #KFC is leveraging Colonel Sanders’ tie as the primary STANDALONE element in its ads? Always nice to see brands having fun with their iconography. For KFC, it’s been Sanders (face x neck tie combo), the red and white bucket and any imagery that cues

Got to say, love these still images from a brand campaign for a range of rugs, yes rugs. ‘The Court Of Carpets’ - fabulous concept 🤎 Set in the desert state of Rajasthan, India. That explains the aesthetic in general. Featuring an actual two-time Grand Slam doubles champ and a

Of periods, preconceived notions and phenomenal film-making. Stop what you’re doing and watch this! Keeping it bloody real (pun 100% intended) is creative agency AMV BBDO in what is a compelling and daresay super-relatable film for #Bodyform- a brand that deals in menstrual

Thought this pre-event #Nike work featuring Chinese tennis player and eventual gold medalist #Zheng had aged well only to realise she was outfitted in #Adidas through it all 👀 PS- Don’t think Adidas are sponsors of the China team kit. So what gives? #Olympics #Paris2024

These ‘Designed on the iPad’ (à la ‘Shot on iPhone’) series of billboards by #Apple in Paris are so eye-catching. Nice little way to partake in the Olympic spirit from the outside while rival #Samsung does the boring things as official sponsor of the Games 🫠 By the way, one of

What? Noooo. Didn’t know Yves Saint Laurent & #DuaLipa butchered a classic, an absolute classic that is George Michael’s ‘FREEDOM’ 🎶 with this horrible rendition for #YSL’s Libre fragrance ad 🤯 If there was ever a song that one should never muck around with, it’s Freedom. That

As if the gorgeous Palace of #Versailles wasn’t enough for a backdrop, leveraging all its ‘brand assets’ to the hilt is #Paris in the design of all the obstacles at the #Equestrian events. Familiar Parisian landmarks aside, there’s even Macarons and Morris Columns (pointy

One of those contentious things, but how do we feel about giving other brands free publicity, not to mention free real estate, with out-of-home templates like these by #Corona? #OOH #Marketing #MarketingTwitter #Advertising

The rhino was real. The chase was real. What a gem of an outtake and fun little backstory as told by adman Allen Richardson who worked on this classic #LandRover Defender print ad — THAT TIME THE RHINO CAUGHT THE LAND ROVER: In an era when so many things are CGI, you can't

A quiet little rebrand for #KitKat in the US. First impressions? It’s actually very nice to look at now. The thick drop shadow gives it a more vintage and chocolate-y appearance. And glad they got rid of that yellow / off-white ring. Much cleaner and well-defined now. In fact,

Quite like how #Dove is attempting to give some shape to the conversation around AGEING across age-groups this year. From talking about the growing use of anti-ageing products among pre-teens (see quoted tweet) to now addressing things from the other end of the spectrum with this

Oof. First a highland cow on a bike, then a goat on a glider, now a walrus on a speed boat! Two years in, mad props to #VirginMedia and their creative agency VCCP for making this concept of animals getting high on speed the brand’s SIGNATURE creative device to cue all things

Never not obsessed with this particular set of sublime #LandRover print ads ♥️ Actually, almost everything conceived at Grace & Rothschild (the folks who helped launch the brand in North America and handled the account until the late 90s) was right out of the top drawer. Rich

Well well well, a vertical swoosh 👀 by #Nike on the new kits of #football clubs across leagues this season - Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid. Initially thought the vertical swoosh was a one-off exercise for their collab w/ Jacquemus last month (quoted

Ok so by now we know that earlier this week, lawmakers in #Australia 🇦🇺 passed what they call the ‘Right To Disconnect’ bill- to accord the public every right to stay off work calls / emails after working hours. And guess who was the first person this news outlet went to for a

Interesting set of aesthetics chosen by #SabrinaCarpenter and her team to market her new album ‘Short n’ Sweet’. A good dose of VINTAGE / RETRO underpins some of these collaterals. Drawing inspiration from classic 70s-style billboards which musicians like Donna Summer and others

When #Pepsi rolled-out its new visual identity last year, you knew it was leaning heavily on nostalgia what with all the retro design cues. What we didn’t quite know at the time was that Ridley Scott’s sequel to #Gladiator was also in the works, slated for a theatrical release a
