Well if they can’t sell you the Stefan Loose Travel Guides the old fashioned way, they’ll scare the pants off you so you have to! LOL, this ad campaign is pretty funny, I especially dig the nice happy rainbow font they used to lively up the mood.

I don’t know maybe it’s just me but this ad campaign is for lack of a better word… tired. I mean don’t get me wrong there’s nice photography, photoshop and the whole nine yards but the concept seems a little played out. How many other commercials and ads do we have to see pandering the middle class working woman? Luna bar, Special K, yada, yada, yada… I think women are ready for a new angle besides the typical “eat this product and you’ll be able to change diapers, make a PowerPoint presentation and cook dinner without breaking a sweat thing”!

Check out this super-cool underwear commercial by PACT. Until now I hadn’t heard of PACT but they’ve got my attention now. What a fun and well done commercial, primo quality! To top it all off 10% of all sales go toward some great causes. Check out their website here.

This video was a collaboration between Terri Timely Studios and PACT. Terri Timely is the awarding-winning directing duo of Ian Kibbey and Corey Creasy.

Did I mention I love this video… the style is so 80’s. Anytime you have someone playing a keyboard guitar in your video… you’re cool with me!

I don’t know what it is exactly that kind of creeps me out about this ad, (maybe it has something to do with someone’s gut being exposed)… nevertheless it’s a damn good ad! I’m loving the creativity and originality of this campaign, I’ve never seen anything like it.

Dang, this is what women want? I’m not a fireman, police, pilot, construction worker or any of that. I tell you what though, I can build a website in less than 12 hours and I’m a wiz at Photoshop… any takers?

You don’t see Everlast around too much anymore especially in the shadow of new companies like “Tap Out” and “Affliction”. Everlast is best known for their presence in the world of boxing; What some people don’t know is that Everlast is now making their push to snatch a share of the MMA world! I wish them all the luck in the world especially because I’m sick and tired of seeing all these gym rats running around with tight Affliction t-shirts on (at the grocery store, at yoga, at nice restaurants, etc.)!

I really like the typography but I’m not too sure it’s what Everlast needs marketing wise to make an impact on their target demographic. I don’t think the average muscle head, protein shake drinking… arm bar submitting guy cares about typography. I on the other hand can appreciate it… so for that, kudos Everlast but you probably should have played it safe with girls in bikinis or pit bulls graphics and tattoo art!
