ad goodness

Found on Frederik Samuel's site, ad goodness promotes itself as showcasing the best and sometimes the worst [advertising and design] around the globe. I like the post about Discovery Channel's rebranding. I didn't really like the new logo until the functionality of it was pointed out to me (especially how an icon made of the globe and D can now be made). It's fun to see all the creative things done all around the world, like BMW's literal launch of a new car and the coolest flashlight ads I have ever seen. And you can't go wrong w/ a site that has Coca-Cola and the Michelin Man in the top corner!

Copyranter

Wow. What made this guy so angry? Who pissed him off? He literally hates everything and everyone - just read his profile on the left. But he's got a lot of good info on here - lots of interesting campaigns and stuff. Great opinion pieces on agencies (linked to other stuff he's done) and the like. Witty banter is amusing (maybe cuz he's a copy writer?). Everything gets a nice laugh. Anyway, check it out!

Schwartzcom

Phil Schwartz, distinguished Gator alum, runs a blog for his consultancy dealing in internet marketing. Most posts are always quite amusing, especially his lists of enlightening stats. Check it out, and tell him I sent you there.

Advertising Lab

Advertising Lab is a blog about all this really cool technology that can in some way or another be related to advertising. Some speculation, some about stuff actually going on, like NXT, but all really cool. It's written by an emerging media strategist at Hill, Holliday in Boston. Makes sense, as he's getting paid to find out about stuff like this.

Kicking things off!

Adweek's Adfreak.

I tend to start my day checking out AdFreak. Updated multiple times a day with fun and interesting tidbits that have some connection to the ad industry (most of the time). Plenty of videos, print ads, and other interesting stories and media.
