So Excited

One day to go, it's starting to look really good.

Kessels Kramer Show

Show opens at our University on Thursday, exciting to think what it'll be, and the case to learn from the wisdom that is Erik Kessels.

Onto the next chapter....

Well, having both completed our dissertations and now feeling a huge weight lifted off our shoulders, we have a short two day weekend break and back to the work. D&AD workshops are just around the corner, we cannot wait.

Looking Back Before Going Forward

Having listened to this documentary on Obama and his past, it seems important to understand how we got to this day, before we start to look forward. It's an inspirational story that will stay with us for some time.

If you get a spare half hour then check it out. If not, we hope you are celebrating today as best you can and we promise no more political posts for a while.

Stressed Out

Whopper Sacrifice

Ok, so we've amassed a lot of pointless friends on Facebook over the last few years, but now we've been given an awesome reason to get rid of them all. The Whopper Sacrifice asks you to get rid of those friends and in return your love of the whopper will be fulfilled with a free burger. The problem is that it only apllies to those in the USA.


Awesome idea and lets face it, one of the only good uses for Facebook by a brand. It's also really nice seeing that person's profile picture burn, it is strangely satisfying. It was created by the same agency behind some of the other genius BK work, Crispin Porter + Bogusky.

Twitter Hack

The Guardian promote an article on today's hacking of Twitter, through Twitter. Only days after the Daily Mail wrote an article slating the website. Well, we're pro- Twitter, we just hope that the security issues get sorted out.

How We Wish To Start 2009

On a positive note, looking to make things happen.

The Woolworths Effect

It's not just the employees that will be affected.

Small Bears Christmas

We hope that you are all having a wonderful Christmas. Roll on the new year and the challenges ahead.

Best Agency Christmas Piece So Far

Nice work for Christmas by AKQA.




Whilst this year's effort by W+K is an interactive Christmas card maker in their window (which is lovely), nothing beats last year's Christmas pudding bin bags, that combined usefulness and creativity.

Really Nice

Lovely way to show some of the most interesting data around.

Magic

This guy should be a copywriter. Whatever he was on, he still managed to ride his BMX and come up with those lines.

We applaud you.

Viral Heaven

A list of the year's 'Top 10 Virals' has been published by the guardian. We've seen nine out of the ten, which may mean we spend a bit too much time on the web. Either way, it's mostly agreed that these are virals, bar the Nike "Fate" ad which resembles a TV ad more than it does a viral, especially as it was shot by David Fincher. To us, virals are more like the Wassup 2008 video, which uses an ad we all know in a new clever way.
