Though it didn't win, I think it's pretty well art-drected and grabs attention like a magnet! Great going guys, keep the faith. And Mel, thanks for the support pal!

Bakwass From Beko!

This is an ad for silent vacuum cleaners but I think it's so silent that its actually DUMB! Where is the concept of silence? Why is the Beko Vacuum Cleaner curled up to form a musical note? And what relevance do the stripes on the carpet have to the silence of the cleaner? Stupidity...absolutely!

2006 Campaign for the Young Guns Awards




At the start of 2006, somebody told me that Crispin Porter Bogusky was close to being one of the best advertising agencies on our planet. I loved their work on Burger King, Volkswagon, Mini & the campaign for TRUTH.
I clearly recollect their stunning work on the Young Guns last year (featured just above). I've just spotted a campaign for Young Guns 2006 too. Here they are. I wonder if some of these make you squirm or you look at them and say "I wish I had done those!"
