We all have something to say, and often writing it down prevents us from screaming at each other irrationally.  Just kidding, that never happens.

  • Wow, Now That's a Low Price!
    by Drew Pratt on 05.26.10 @ 05:44 PM

     

    Wow, now that's a bad commercial! I have seen some pretty aggravating TV spots - Head On, Mentos, not even Flo from Progressive Insurance possesses the agitating appearance of Staples' new commercial. 
     
    Now, I understand the importance of creating annoying advertisements - people remember them, they are simple and catchy. But "Wow, Now That's a Low Price" is not catchy, it makes the consumer seem simple, and I remember it for being a spot I hope to never catch again. I feel bad for the ongoing character that is the face of this campaign. His annoying, high-pitched cry will leave him type-cast as forever being the "Staples guy". (Typecast = Mr. Belding. His career was destroyed after SBTB). As one blogger puts it: "This is the most horrible ad ever. I hope someone at staples reads this. Awful. I hate that man. I hope he gets some sort of permanent laringitis so for the rest of his life he can only sign annoying slogans. Please die staples man." 
     
    But hey, I guess they did their job if they have me talking me about it...
    Luke Wilson, you're next.

  • GELin' Like a Felon
    by Alex Denholm on 05.05.10 @ 11:42 AM

    I had the opportunity to represent Findr at this year’s GEL Conference held at the Times Center late last week. For those of you who aren’t familiar – Gel ("Good Experience Live") is a conference and community, founded in 2003, exploring good experience in all its forms - in art, business, society, technology, and life.  The bulk of the conference is spent on listening to speakers with one afternoon spent doing workshops (I learned, among 15 others, how to juggle 3 balls within an hour).

    In copywriting?!?!  Wait, we can explain.... The reality of a small agency is that we all wear many, many hats.

  • The Economist Thinks We Are Superficial. Surprised?
    by Alex Denholm on 04.19.10 @ 06:20 PM

    This Economist article makes the argument that Millennials that grew up with the Internet have only a superficial familiarity with the digital tools that they use regularly.
