Buzzfeed had a great post called "31 Mind-Blowing Examples of Brilliant Packaging Design." I believe some of them are 'concepts' more than reality, but all the idea's are actually pretty cool. I thought they could help inspire you with some ideas for your business. Sometimes the most creative ideas can be the simplest! I've put some of my favorites below, but be sure to check out all of them!
For a limited time Zappos.com has a item for sale on their website. It's called the "Sh*t Product" and it's available to you for the low, low price of $100,000! I suppose this deserves a little bit of explanation. It all started when the always-amusing Kanye West was a guest on Bret Easton Ellis' Podcast and shared a story about a 'discussion' he had with Tony Hsieh (Entrepreneur and CEO of Zappos): I got into this giant argument with the head of Zappos that he’s trying to tell me what I need to focus on. Meanwhile, he sells all [...]
I can't remember for the life of me where I saw this but I thought it was clever. Take a look below for some well-placed advertisements getting to their competitors!
This one's a kinda of weird "Marketing Gold" but I thought it was interesting non-the-less. I was browsing through BuzzFeed when an article came up called "One Of The Biggest Con Jobs In Advertising History, Part 2" It involves advertisements for Sugar in the 60's and 70's, some of which are just amazing that people believed. I've included some of my 'favorite' ads below, but be sure to check out Buzzfeed for all 12 of them: You can check out "One Of The Biggest Con Jobs In Advertising History, Part 1" which tackles "Lysol" when it was a feminine [...]
Well, they are finally here. I gave a sneak-listen on Facebook a few weeks for a series of radio commercials we put together for WRNJ Radio titled "Famous Last Words." I decided to post them all on our YouTube page just in case you wanted to listen to all the commercials. Hope you enjoy em!
This is a case of social media going right! As Adweek puts it, "Brands often freeze up when they're criticized on Facebook." I even talked (or at least reposted) about "The Unhappy Customer" as one of the 7-types of social media users (for business), and how "45% of consumers are more likely to share negative experiences on social media." This is a little tongue-in-cheek, but on October 8, 2013 a certain Richard Neill posted a rant on Bodyform's Facebook Page about Bodyform lying over the years about their products and the way they are portrayed in their commercials. Here's [...]
We posted K-Mart's "Ship My Pants" a while ago. Looks like they're still going strong. Here's K-Mart's new commercial titled "Big Gas Savings"
I'm working on another 'real' article, but I just had to share this commercial. It comes from Kmart and it is titled "Ship My Pants." It's a great example of getting your attention and no part of this commercial seems overly redundant. I think it's cast perfectly, written perfectly and there's two versions included in the video. Check out the video below and laugh a little...it's Monday. A huge thanks to Pallante Photography for shooting this commercial my way. People are often scared to take risks in their advertising. I can't tell you how many times I've presented something only vagues risque and have gotten it shot down. I'd [...]
