Hej ,Hej.
A few weeks ago a friend in Stockholm sent this video to me. Maybe he shouldn’t have, because now it has been passed around my office and now the interwebs. Chatroulette so hot right now.
Fog.
We are the few the proud and the broke.
We are the few the proud and the broke. Ad school is expensive. Two former peers of mine decided to put an end to this finacial madness and continue building their portfolio elsewhere ( as in Boulder ) They have been independently working and now they would like some feedback. They are offering what money they do have for some feedback on their ideas. Their site can be found here.
Yes, You Can Eat That.
Not only can you get outside the lines with these guys you can eat them… yes eat them. These luxury health bars are made from anything and everything nutritious including fruity pebbles, corn, banana, almonds and bee pollen. This is a cool packaging idea, mainly because it catches you off guard…. but also great for multi tasking I suppose.

It will also be entertaining to see adults eating crayons , this could get confusing for the kids.
The Interwebs is our Playground.
Finally, a reason to become a fan of a product on Facebook. Skittles is going to turn its 3.6m Facebook fans into an online mob to pull off stunts.
How this works:
1. Become a fan of Skittles on FB.
2. Start Mobbing.

VALENTINE THE RAINBOW
Skittles Fans. Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and the Mob needs you. That’s right you – staring at the screen. We’re surprising a parking enforcement officer with (you guessed it) love. Her tickets are universally hated. But that doesn’t mean she has to be. Help us shower this civil servant with thousands of cards this February 14th. Together, we will mob her where she least expects it – the heart. This plan is random enough that it just might work.
The Mob has spoken. Now let’s cause some fun.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Make a digital Valentine for the parking enforcement officer athttp://bit.ly/cPh6Sv
OR
Send a Valentine to:
Mob the Rainbow
P.O. Box 410870
San Francisco, CA 94141
We’ll deliver the cards this Valentine’s Day and capture it all on tape.

Take a Chance on Me, Benny
This was an idea that was conceived by Peter Megler and I during our internship at Le Bureau in Stockholm.
The challenge was to lure Benny Andersson of Abba to the Wetterlling Gallery in Stockholm where the owner hoped to sell him a piece of art from a new exhibit featuring Jim Dine. Benny had been a former client who hadn’t visited the gallery in a while and Mr. Wetterling needed to do something to get his attention.
Our solution was to send Benny a personal invitation to the gallery in the form of a coffin which had its front designed by a young, local artist. The hook was that if people like Benny stopped supporting the arts, that struggling artists would die.
Spooning Leads to Forking.
And a type assignment lead to a new logo design for Baskin Robbins.
