Well this isn't news. Everyday at the Adrants offices, the interns sport the highest of fashion in the form of short skirts (pleated plaid minis always win), Daisy Dukes, midriff-baring crop tops, cleavage-enhancing (not that these top-heavy ladies need it) halter tops and gam-glamorizing high heels of epic proportion.
Seems like Launchpad NYC wants to get in on the action and challenge our interns by launching a blog, Office Outfit Challenge, that highlights the high styles of "5 advertising darlings" in some kind of daily effort to "pull off a fashion magazine miracle.

Hmm. Elevating an automobile to the level of mankind's varied and stellar achievements is a tall order. Granted, it's no small feat to create a great car but to equate it to space travel and other such lofty human endeavors is, well, a bit pompous. Now don't get us wrong. This Mullen-created campaign for the 2014 Acura MDX, "Made For Mankind," is great work. It's inspiring and thought-provoking.
A little bit Red Bull Stratos and a little bit Hill Holliday-created Infiniti from back in the day, the campaign -- if you can get through it without smirking -- is one that will endear you to the human race and give a a warm and fuzzy feeling about what we, as humans, can accomplish when we put out minds to task.
The campaign broke Friday with, of course, a Vine teaser. Outdoor, print and online will round out the campaign.

OK so it's time to put the "seriousness" of Cannes Lions behind us and get back to what's "truly important" in advertising; hot chicks in bikinis lip syncing pop sings. If you recall, the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders did Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" -- much like everyone else in the world did. Now they are back in full bootylicious bodaciousness doing Taylor Swift's "22" while cavorting in bikinis and cheerleading garb.
The "Call Me Maybe" video promoted the team's calendar. This video promotes a chance to meet the ladies at the Dolphins Opener on September 22.
