Want to attract a young, energetic, vibrant crowd of people to fill your Mid-American, mid-sized city? Check out the new “Possibility City” campaign for Louisville. Here is just one of the cheeky new spots:
Besides the spots themselves (here and here), Louisville has done a great job of using social media. A [...]
Here’s what I like about a new ad campaign from a company called Foster Farms. A lot of food companies have tried to position themselves as a healthier alternative vs. their larger, industrialized competitors, using claims like ‘natural’ and ‘organic.’ Foster Farms actually takes the next step and provides the consumer with an actual benefit [...]

A few weeks ago – before the Super Bowl – I wrote about the MillerCoors’ 1SecondAd.com campaign where they were buying one second tv ads on local tv stations carrying the Super Bowl. Well, initial results are in. The campaign worked.
Advertising Age reports that MillerCoors saw an 8.6% spike in sales during the [...]
Hyundai has been all over television with their latest ad campaign, Hyundai Assurance. The basic premise is that if you buy a car from them and you lose your job they will allow you to return it. That’s nice and all, and it seemed to cut through the clutter of most of the “its a [...]
