You Won't Believe (Or Understand) What This Giant, Creepy-Looking Mouth is Promoting
Here's an interesting, if odd, approach to promoting a show and train ticket offering from a travel agency. On April, 8th and 9th, Voyages-sncf.com, with help from TBWA\Paris, created an interesting installation on the streets of Paris with some oversized interactive figures. Struggling Supermarket Chain Projects Ad on Angel of the North
Marketers; always up to something. Struggling marketers; always resorting to desperate measures. You've probably never heard of the Angel of the North. It's a large structure of a 66 foot tall angel with wings that are 177 feet across. It's located in Gateshead England.

In a lame attempt to somehow make a connection between the beauty industry and, yea, paint selection, Ace Hardware, with seemingly no help from FCB, is out with Helpful is Beautiful, a campaign which touts Valspar paints and the introduction of The Paint Studio.

They've even launched in my middle of fucking nowhere back yard. Ron Jeremy Is Bummed His Films Have Been Rejected by the Toronto Jewish Film Festival

Ha! Well here's some new "positioning speak" we'd never heard before. We all know how marketers love to rename crap to make it sound cooler or more important or just, well, new. Alas, all they're doing is putting a stupid label on something that's been around forever.
