The “Not Beyonce” post below is the best copywriting I’ve read all week, but this comes in a close second. I mean, any copy that can make it cool to be stuck behind a bus scores points in my book. Read it up close here. Via.

I can’t tell you how nice it is to see a copywriter really take pride in their work. It’s just more proof that no assignment is a bad assignment. Via.

A big idea.
Check out this great campaign for Vodafone by German agency Scholz & Friends NRW. The other executions are just as good. They’re visually interesting, the 4-word headline says it all, and this is a campaign that could go on just about forever. Ideas for more executions? Put them in the comments section.

It’s gun for the whole family.

Take a break from gimmicks.
To caution Australians against getting too much sun, the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre’s ad agency came up with this gimmicky idea that we’ve seen this done before and better. I mean, 1) you don’t even need to see the shadow to be able to read the message; 2) the majority of the day you won’t […]

Not your average cup ‘o joe.
