Lighter side of branding | A bug, a feijoa and a Kiwi tribute to an advertising pioneer
Two things drew me to this ad: the quintessential VW Beetle and the title “Feijoa”. I immediately thought it was a Brazilian print ad. I mad such quick association knowing that VW has a dominant presence in the automotive landscape … Continue reading
Lighter side of branding | Gorgeous veggies
Didn’t know veggies could be so beautiful! Check out this BK commercial for their new California Burgers. The technique for shooting the veggies is probably nothing new, but I’ve never seen it used on the humble produce that we eat … Continue reading
Lighter side of branding | How to talk Austrian to Australians
Still on the subject of Austrian Vodka brand, Monopolowa, and their print ad campaign to introduce the brand to the Australian market. Seems like a play on words… Austrian and Australian. Joking aside though, this brand clearly makes a distinctive … Continue reading
Lighter side of branding | Potatoes’ life journey
I love the copy in this print ad campaign for an Austrian Vodka & Gin brands, Monopolowa, for the Australian market. Some potatoes are born to be fried. Others go on to greater things. Advertising Agency: B. Creative Advertising & … Continue reading

Lighter side of branding | When knife and fork waltz into the bedroom for some…
Like I said, sex and humor always sell! A print ad campaign for La Benedicta Restaurant in Brazil attempts to lure in foodies for Valentine’s Day Romantic Dinner to sample not only appetizing dishes but perhaps to set the mood … Continue reading
Lighter side of branding | How to say: “Not tonight, Honey. I have a headache!” in French
Sex and humor are both well represented in this TVC for Bayer Aspirin in the French-speaking world.
Lighter side of branding | Animals and their dirty little secrets [3]
Without fail, sex and humor, stand out like a sore thumb in the “attention-grabbing dept.” It’s a proven formula that has been used by brand-builders throughout the history of modern marketing to advertise and influence our minds, in the hope … Continue reading
