Arnold Worldwide:Boston -HAVAS


Client: Amtrak

I love these visuals, they are very appealing (at least to me) the contrast of the black and whit along with more muted colors is visually pleasing, and different from most other print ads you see. I would definitely hang around on these ads and actually read part of them if I was flipping through a magazine.

Kaplan Thaler Group (NYC): Publicis Goupe



Client: Aflac

I have always thought these Aflac duck commercials were incredibly annoying. I'm sure there are less annoying ways they could portray the duck, or something. Also they don't really seem to flow together very well, especially in comparison with the Fallon commercials.

Fallon: Publicis Groupe

Client: Sony (Bravia) (NYC)




Client: Traveller's Insurance (Minneapolis)




Fallon definitely has a distinct style of commercials. They are aesthetically pleasing and the music is very acoustical and relaxing. I actually enjoy watching all of their commercials, unlike many of the other's which often seem to be clutter. Fallon commercials seem well-thought out and the execution of them is pristine.

Leo Burnett: Chicago- Publicis Groupe



Client: Numericable

I couldn't figure out what Leo Burnett Agency did this ad, but I'm going to assume its one in Paris or Canada because i think they are speaking french in the Commercial (otherwise I have no idea). Just double-checked and it's Paris.

After seeing this ad for the first time in a different language, I couldn't quite figure out what is was for, but I knew it had something to do with a TV (which I was correct, it is for a French cable provider). This ad definitely caught my eye, the tune is quite catchy, and not annoying along with the cool visual animations to keep you interested. This is probably one of the few types of commercials I would wait until it was over to change the channel. I would definitely be interested in hearing/ seeing the translation of this. I love how the animation bring the rooms to life, despite the semi- boring setting, if they had otherwise not been in it.

Saatchi & Saatchi (New York): Publicis Groupe



Client: Tide (to go)

This commercial was hilarious, everything in it, just worked. I think in other situations it might not have been quite as funny as this because who wants to go into a job interview with a huge stain, and I'm sure people get nervous and accidently spill coffee or something on themselves all the time before job interviews, which is the last place you want to go not looking your most professional.

Publicis: (Paris) Publicis Groupe



Client: WonderBra

Ha, this ad I thought was pretty funny, very quick and easy to get, and definitely appealing to a young woman. After seeing an ad like that I would definitely be curious about the product and go to the extent to see what was so great about it. I think they did an excellent job with that one.

BBDO (New York)- Omnicom




Client: The Economist

I am a big fan of the work BBDO New York and AMV/BBDO have done for the economist. They always have clever new ways at going about advertising for The Economist whether in a more non-traditional manner or through billboards, print, or guerilla.The The work is always attention grabbing and thought provoking as you have to use your head a bit for some of the stuff they use, but mostly they are all pretty quick gets.
