everythings coming up VW

The GTI Project it’s work related. I SWEAR!!

what if your sponsors dont pay the bills?

Astana Cyclists Blank Out Sponsors’ Name in Protest
UCI ruling says you cant change logos or the placement of logos on the team kit during a race. so what happens during a 3 week stage race when your sponsor stops paying? you fade the logos to a near invisible level and keep riding.

Astana (the main sponsor for the team Astana) needs to pay up.

what is that giant sucking sound.

great copy & execution by VW (of course)

smashed up

Cool Google maps mashup for those of you in New Jack.

Triptrop NYC tells you how long you can expect to travel from point A to B on the MTA’s series of tubes.

Fun logo design

I’m particularly fond of Ed’s electric.

Jet Blue Targets CEO’s affected by the economy

JetBlue’s new print ad campaign.

Does it take an economic downturn for companies to use aggressive marketing?

If only more companies didn’t play it safe all the time.

Shepard Fairey, the artist who did the famous Obama poster, has done Lance Armstrong’s Giro d’Italia bike. Since this is the first time Lance is doing the Giro, he got a special bike with cool graphics by Shepard.

Mobile Retail

Some people are busy developing mobile apps, the one that fit in a 6×4 inch real estate, while some other are still downsizing the customer experience like it is 1965; The concept of a tricycle vehicle used as a retail shop isnt new ( remember the butcher and the bakery on truck driving by on mondays and wednesdays in your remote village of france? or the coffee truck at the corner of union Square in new york city or the guy selling mint delicacies outside Kyber in Mumbai?) but for some reason I don’t remember seeing such a short vehicle potentially parking anywhere and promoting a global brand product line off the street. Sort of guerilla marketing to get in the face of the consumers while parking across Best Buy electronic giant? very interesting approach though.
