advertising

There are few things, which I noticed in London, that I would like to share with you.

First of all, while waiting in the wrong building (until I asked again someone) for the Second Life conference to start, I picked up this advertising in a business magazine.

For those who have difficulties to decipher the very straight forward and distorted message: "It's not who you marry. It's where you marry."

Can you be any blunter than this? And, I assume, as it was in a business magazine in a business environment on a business table, that it is aimed at business women...

And this is what I saw at the famous Carnaby street. I thought it was a brilliant idea (though not new) that fits very well to the London area, doesn't disturb any passer-by, and it is rather helpful too.

Now, thinking of the Vélib (Vélo Libre - Bicycle rental) in Paris, that might be a nice combination.

And, last but not least, a little message that made me smile and I hope it will you too. Would make a catchy make-up advertising line.

I found this Absolut Cut ad while doing some research for Marketing Research, as we picked up our marketing plan about Absolut Cut from two years ago.

Things changed since then, as it was very very hard to find any info on Absolut Cut then. Now it's already on YouTube.

I really like this advert. It is actually the long version with the full song by José Gonzáles. It was filmed in San Francisco (you can see the Coit Tower in the background) with real rubber balls.
