Nescafe

"...un gust de trei ori bun, un zambet impreuna.".

Exista in spatele acestui slogan /adline niste intrebari ingrijoratoare despre cum functoneaza industria de advertising, daca te gandesti cam prin ce trece un slogan inainte sa fie aprobat.
Vorbim de o chestie care a fost scrisa de un copywriter, in teorie un profesionist al comunicarii, de cateva layere decizionale la client, in care specialisti in marketing si comunicare stau si intorc lucrurile pe toate partile, si nu in ultimul rand despre un consumator pe care mi l-as fi dorit un pic mai putin anesteziat.

Wake up, people! Un zambet impreuna?!

The last of the barn finds

"In this undated image released by Bonhams, an extremely rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, is seen in a garage in Gosforth, England, where it was found by relatives after the death of the owner, an elderly doctor who last used it around 1960. The Bugatti, one of only 17 ever made, is expected to draw a record price when it is auctioned in Paris next month." (AFP)

So said the joker to the thief

A venit vremea, drumurile noastre se despart aici. O sa imi fie dor de voi.

Elegantly branded

If you miss the simple beauty of good old branding (a rare sight on the web, I must admit), check out the "Title" section of the Royal Opera House.

Portret

Stiu cum vreau sa il fotografiez pe Vamos. In tinuta voievodala, in postura de ctitor, tinand in brate o macheta de Bradley M2A3 in loc de biserica.

Who do you call?

According to the London-based The Future Laboratory think tank, the amount of people arranging to have their cellphones or portable media players buried with them is on the rise, with a family service counselor for Hollywood Forever funeral home and cemetery stating that "it seems that everyone under 40 who dies takes their cellphone with them." Truth be told, the psychology behind it isn't all that odd; after all, in today's world, mobile phones go a long way to connecting one person with other loved ones. Just make sure to not go down with a Vertu or the like - wouldn't want to get unwillingly exhumed, now would we?

Free stuff

Cu un pic de ajutor de la un prieten, caruia ii multumesc pe aceasta cale, a iesit un ad pentru o campanie sociala impotriva violentei domestice. Donam ideea / executia oricarei organizatii dispuse sa il foloseasca.

Food vs. sex

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up and believe... whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

So what should it be: Triferment™ or Viagra™ ?

Arta de a gresi

"In momentele care conteaza, aleg un deodorant pe care ma pot baza".

Dragutz, stau si ma intreb cam ce faci tu in restul timpului. Ah, lasa-ma sa ghicesc, esti roman. Folosesti unul mai prost, pe care nu te poti baza, sau pur si simplu nu mai folosesti deodorant deloc.

Felicitari domnule copywriter, din greseala ati adaptat perfect textul.

Magritte!

This is not a birthday, we know. But still, a certain painter should not use surrealism as a lame excuse for not buying a round of drinks on his birthday.

Despre vopsitul ciorii

Stim cu totii ca stam prost. Bucurestiul, precum multe alte orase ale Romaniei, e ca un scaun vechi: descleiat, incomod si cu un picior in groapa. Traim intr-un cerc vicios: suntem vai de curul nostru, istoria nu ne da credit, noi nu schimbam mobilierul.
Evident, vom fi fortati sa reparam (din nou) acelasi vechi scaun, sa vopsim (din nou) aceeasi batrana cioara. Si daca tot trebuie sa mai batem un cui in incheieturile pline de gauri ale acestui oras care se drogheaza cu provizorat, zic sa o facem macar de data asta cum trebuie.

Daca va intereseaza subiectul, treceti prin foaierul Muzeului Taranului Roman pana pe 15 noiembrie sa vedeti "Idei mici pentru un oras mare", una din expozitiile Bienalei de Arhitectura Bucuresti 2008. Sau intrati pe site-ul http://www.arhitectura1906.ro, unde puteti sa vedeti si eventual sa votati 16 posibile solutii pentru problemele noastre.
