  • The Greatest Wine Ads Ever Made Complete with Threesomes and Equestrianism

    May 15th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    We think you'll agree that these new ads for SLO Down wines are some of the best, if not the best, ever made in their category. Why? Because their playful, nonchalant attitude stands out in a big way from the rest of the stuffy wine industry. As a company they believe wine should be for everyone, the 99%, not just the elites and it shows. This campaign, which features a new twist on the meaning of "wine pairings," comes to us from Harvest Films' director Baker Smith and Arcade Edit’s Paul Martinez and Dean Miyahira. Enjoy.

    Research shows that using a mobile phone while driving is just as dangerous as driving drunk. Although Norway has a zero limit law for driving under the influence, there is now law or very much fear associated with the dangers of mobile phone use while driving. So Try/Apt worked with the Norwegian Council for Road Safety to create this spots which draw a direct relation between the two dangerous activities.

  • Local Designer is Launching a Sweet New Athletic-Inspired Apparel Brand

    May 15th, 2013 / Comments (1)

    Local graphic designer Tony Parrish recently started up Field Machine which produces high quality, athletic-inspired apparel and accessories. He was inspired to create this brand when, this past winter, he went searching for a new bag for the upcoming baseball season. Tony was looking for something well made, extremely durable, a clean aesthetic, and manufactured in the USA. Yet, all he found was cheap, thin material, extraordinarily bright colors, and oversized logos everywhere. Tony is looking for some kickstarter help to get his first collection off the ground which includes an awesome weekend bag and some fine leather belts along with shirt, ball caps, and hoodies. Check out the collection and help him get it kickstarted.

    Netflix has been building the buzz around the relaunch of the Arrested Development show through multiple media vehicle and they've finally just released a trailer for the fourth season. One of our favorite promos that they've run for the show is also picture below. In it, Netflix has set up an international tour for an operational Bluth’s Original Frozen Banana Stands, a shady family owned banana stand started by George Bluth in 1953 that “gets destroyed and rebuilt several times” throughout the TV series. Seamless.com is helping to celebrate a new banana stand opening up next to Radio City Music Hall in New York City by releasing a fake online menu full of funny Arrested Development themed foods.

    We don't think this new ad for Ball Park Franks' angus hot dogs from Y&R New York needs much of an introduction other than to quote them in saying these new franks are, "so American you can taste it." Enjoy.
