Recycled advertising

I’m a sucker for sports spots and this one is no exception. Nike and W+K decided to trim some budgetary corners by crafting a TV spot composed entirely of previous Nike ads. It’s an interesting idea and you have to admit that few brands have enough clout to make ads about their old ads and …

Nike ads have always done a great job of getting my psyched up for the sports I can no longer/never could play. In their “Force Fate” campaign, they strum the heartstrings of patriotic Canadians gearing up for the on-ice festivities at the 2010 Olympics and the currently unfolding World Junior Championships. Minor discrepancy to note… …

When one window closes…

Here’s a list of reasons why I love the above spot for BidHere.com, which features newly crowned spokesperson Jamie Jungers, who may or may not have slept with Tiger Woods (but really, who hasn’t?): – How she blatantly reads the script off the computer screen – Her inability to stay still for 2 seconds – …
