To most guys the combination of 'Girls Aloud ' and chocolate would be a pretty good combination. Unfortunately, this ad doesn't really appear to have done a lot for either the girl group or Kit Kat? It's early days and it will be interesting to see if it helps sales or not. It reminded me a bit of when the Spice Girls helped (well got paid to) advertise Tesco at Christmas. Somehow 'selling out' to one of the biggest organisations in the world was more understandable than this though? Decide for… Continue

I recently saw this advert for Visa Europe and I think it's a great effort at promoting their powerful piece of plastic. I also found it interesting as I am going to be best man at a wedding next summer so I'll ensure no credit cards are left with the groom when we leave him naked in the desert! Thanks to Saatchi and Saatchi for flagging that point. On a serious note, it was an interesting and commical way to remind us all that our flexible friends are there to get us out of even the tighest of… Continue

Honda have moved on and aren't taking the challenge of climate change lightly it appears. In their own unique style they have yet again produced an advert which captured my attention from the off and made me really buy in to what they were trying to achieve. Fantastic and you can see it here if you've not see it yet:

I was at the Cinema the other night (to watch Michael Clayton - very good by the way) and what intrigued me almost as much as the film, was the advert for 'Orange Unlimited Texts'.

You should be able to see the advert below and I'd be interested to know your thoughts on it? For me it had more in common with the Sony 'Bravia' range (of which there was also an ad. before the film) as they have grabbed on to the multi-colour br…

Have you ever wondered why you often can't find your own google ads when you search? Well, I have and I'm delighted to say I now have the answer thanks to Marc Warren (Director at periscopix).

Marc and his team focus purely on paid for search listings and he told me about a preview tool that google developed a while back to help you see ads regardless of geography (you're not likely to see your ads targeted at Edinburgh if you're sitting in Lond…

When you ask people to name their favourite Christmas advert (apart from the ones who look at you like you're far too into your job) they will usually say the Coca-Cola 'Holidays are coming' advert.

Whilst I don't disagree that this is clearly a great advert, I think there must be ones equally as good wh…

Just seen this video and it was too good not to share here. I'll add to my video collection too as it's that good! Will it sell anymore beer? I think it will certainly help just for the respect and effort factor!

As someone who has always made a concerted effort to get a Poppy at this time of year and ultimately 'wear it with pride', the recent campaign by the Royal British Legion has really opened my e…
