Apple's "iPhone 4.0 OS Software" teaser

Apple's teaser flyer for the release of its new iPhone 4.0 OS.

Their ads are always just as good as their products.

Lexus Hybrid's ESPN.com Campaign

Lexus has begun an Ad campaign to show their veteran status in manufacturing hybrid vehicles (obviously since 2004). When you visit ESPN.com the first thing you see is a page from 2004, and the rest is history (pun intended).

Honda's Troll Ad

My bestfriend and I used to laugh hysterically at this commercial.

Comedy is one of the best "hooks" in on screen advertising...actually in advertising, period.

Jay-Z's Hewlett Packard Commercial

MasterCard's "Priceless" Ad Campaign

MasterCard does a great job coming up with a campaign and a slogan that ANYONE can remember...and even make it into their own...

Classic Advertising: Sidewalk Chalk

SGA Elections are in the air at the University of Alabama. That means campaign staff are out and about passing out flyers, stickers, buttons, cups, bottle openeners, coozies, etc. It also means that no matter what sidewalk you're on, you're sure to see a "chalked advertisiment" for a candidate. With all the chalking going on it's possible for one to be overlooked...Unless they look like this

This chalk art/advertising is sure to get anyone's attention. Also, great timing with the release of Disney's Alice and Wonderland

UPS White Board Commercials

UPS uses a strong, creative visual advertisement to convey their message.

The white board gives the commercial a classroom feel, but the "transforming drawings" relaxes the tone of the commercial and allows for pertinent information to be relayed to the viewer effortlessly.

Ebony Magainze: Sade

The best advertisement for magazines: their magazine covers. This one is sensational.

The dark font and dark background combined with Sade's dark hair and light skin complexion definitely makes this cover stand out on the screen...and undoubtedly on the newstands too.

"Run Through The Wall" by Nike

This literally made me gasp when I saw it.

Excellent use of architecture to draw attention to the brand name.

Thanks to The Relax for this post.

Good thought. Bad Execution??

Back in 2001 Macy Grey promoted her new album in an extremely "high visibility" area.

It's a good thought, but it may be done in poor taste. One thing you don't want to do with advertising is repel the customer.

But you know what they say, "No publicity is bad publicity"

The Original "Got Milk" Commercial

The flagship ad for the National Milk Processor Board's "Got Milk" ad campaign. The "got milk" ad campaign also features celebrities wearing the infamous "milk mustache."

Toyota's "Swagger Wagon" Ad

A creative attempt to make a mini-van seem cool.

Microsoft's "I'm a PC" Ad Campaign

After Apple uses this Ad campaing to make Microsoft seem "uncool" this is Microsoft's attempt to make it's "Windows" software suite seem people friendly.

Brand Battles: Verizon vs AT&T

AT&T responds

P.Diddy's Larger Than Life Sean John Billboard

Sean "P.Diddy" Combs' landmark advertising in the middle of Time's Square. Perfect placement for advertising in "The City That Never Sleeps."

Apple's "1984" Commercial

One of the most popular Super Bowl commercials of all time. Apple uses this commercial to introduce the world to it's state of the art Macintosh computer. The rest is history.

SPORTSCENTER'S "Arnold Palmer" Commercial

The perfect "no words commercial". The action on the screen explains it all.

(Hint: A combination of sweet tea and lemonade shares the same name as this legendary golfer)

SPORTSCENTER'S "SUPERMAN" Commercial

Nike "Human Chain"

Human Chain from NikeSportswear on Vimeo.

Nike always has a unique way to present their classic "Just Do It" message

Classic PRINT AD by Chick Fil A.
This billboard sparked a series of other similar ads, giving Chick Fil A a marketing jewel.

The Best Commercial of the Night

The best commercial from last night. Bing, Microsoft's search engine, has been taking aim at Google and its broad search results.

Google retaliates with a perfect commercial that shows the simplicty and capability of it's search engine, and manages to do so with a well crafted story.

It already has about 1.8 MILLION views on YouTube

Super Bowl Commercial "Budlight Auto Tune" 2010

Bold move since Jay-Z laid Auto tune to rest last summer. Still clever and catchy nonetheless
