Greenpeace misses the mark.
Greenpeace obviously put a TON of money into this massive production aimed at getting Nike and Adidas to… do what exactly? Something about clean drinking water? I don’t know. There are no details.

The future is now.
About a year ago, I wrote a post about the future of advertising.

Missing out on the fanatical consumers.
You’ve got to love fanatical consumers. And if the stories and websites that have sprung up around McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes are any indication, the fans are certainly out there. True story: In college, when my best friend was in France on exchange, I spent $80 to send him 4 Shamrock Shakes packed in dry ice […]
