Agency Wishes Erik Proulx Would Come Back to Work

vitaminwater_brokaw.jpg

Now here's the oldest tactic in the book: capitalizing on the new found fame of a former employee. With a shameless bluntness we've come to love, Cleveland-based agency Brokaw is begging us to hype their Olympic vitaminwater work by touting the fact Erik Proulx of Lemonade Movie fame used to work for the agency.

They want us to make mention so they can tweet Erik, saying, "See, you could work on vitaminwater . . . if you just come back to the Mistake on the Lake. Please. Please. Pretty Please, Proulx."

Mistake on the Lake. Gotta love an agency that pokes fun of the fact it's not a household name and not in a major city.

Anyway, here's your mention, Brokaw. And it sounds like there's a job waiting for you, Erik.

megan_fox_georgio_armani_waist.jpg

In January it was announced Megan Fox would become the new face of Georgio Armani. There were stills. Now there's a video. And now there's a blogger complaining the video should have featured more of Fox's legs and shown her walking.

Seriously? We'd never complain. We'll take Megan Fox anyway she wants to give herself to us. Any way. At all.

People! You can't be choosy when it comes to hotness like Megan Fox.

This one's been out for a while. Say what you will about Greenpeace but this video explains a lot. On why it appears UFOs never stick around very long, this video asks, "Have you ever wandered why they always go away?" The message is simple. Humans just aren't ready to join the the galactic community.

Yes, the brand wants a human mannequin. To stand. And stand. and do nothing. Except stand. And stand.

UPS is out with a new campaign that broke this past Sunday during the Daytona 500. The campaign which includes three spots will run through the Sprint Cup Series on FOX. One of the spots highlights the fact UPS is "the only delivery company trusted track-side by Nascar.
