F.A.A.D.A Campaign

Thanks to Aleix Bou i López from Contrapunto, BBDO. A Spanish foundation created in defence of the animals, wanted to promote adoption and to find sponsors for their annual summit. They needed pictures of people with their mascots. So they sent an email to some friends and colleagues asking for them and suddenly the campaign became a viral. They received hundreds of pictures from all around the country. Sadly, they had to break them!

Translation:
Lots of people break relationships too easily. Every day thousands of animals are abandoned and sacrificed. Sponsor it for only 6 € per day or adopt it. It needs you.

JFK for Che Magazine!

A new ad for Che Magazine by Duval Guillaume, Belgium. I like the whole attention factor the ad creates because you see the unexpected and it surprises you very well. Though the flip side is that if you know nothing about the JFK Assasination, this ad won't work at all.

Work Spaces - Is Yours A Cool One??

I guess it is extremely important for most of us to have work spaces that motivate us for they definetely have an impact on the work that's created. It could be a table tennis table converted into a boardroom table, pink chairs that scream attitude, road dividers as showpieces, race tracks and toy cars under a meeting table, a mini golf course, a huge theatre with a big LCD screen, trailors convrted into creative rooms, a restaurant ambience, a go-karting rink within the office or something absolutely outta the ordinary!

Showcased above are a few agency offices like DDB, Rethink in Canada, Subplot, Grey Worldwide, Crispin Porter Bogusky and several others that have redefined the way office spaces need to look. Each with their own attitude and style. I hope you like them! Hidden in the middle is be positive 24, my very own office...couldn't help but be a bit selfish :) If you think your office is a cool one, send in a few pics...I promise an exclusive post. Cheers!
