For those of you fortunate enough to hear the stories from my trip to west texas to document the amazing Doug Smith… you will appreciate this. For those of you fortunate enough to witness this performance of a lifetime – you already have an appreciation for Doug and his incredible story.
A true musical genius behind the piano. This is the first track I share with people to help them understand what a piano is supposed to sound like.

Coors Light is advertising their new "master of cold" not so funny and [not genius] super cold ads on YouTube. Other then completely attempting to rip off the old spice guy I can clearly say I’m not a fan of this ad. Quit trying so hard to be funny and just make something simple. Maybe Ice Cube can save the day.
So instead of the Master of Cold… here is the masters of golf in a Tiger spec ad [genius].

I recently visited New Balance and had the ability to interview the man in charge of creating this ad campaign. This series slightly reminds me of the 1980s No Fear ads... Genius.
My next set of Baseball (now softball) cleats are going to be Nooobs.

“Believe the hype! Triples are the new hot thing in skiing. Not wanting to be left out and to push himself to the max, P White went after it this past week and stomped a triple of his own. Check the full shot and TONS more in Level 1’s forthcoming flick, “After Dark,” dropping September 9th, 2011.”
Only one question coming from me. Where is the Volcano?

With 7 straight wins in a row... the Colorado Rockies are the best team in baseball right now. Last year the glory belonged to the San Francisco Giants.
Kudos to Showtime for delivering a unique story in a creative way. Cheese factor on this reality show is low. Get excited for baseball.
Genius.

Obviously - the power of this advertisement would increase 10 fold had someone just randomly re-created this "based on a true story" story of 5 Taiwanese friends who spent 13 days traveling around Taiwan in memory of their lost friends But then it wouldn't be an advertisement - and we probably would watch it.
Genius.

I don't like cats - but I love Wieden + Kennedy... and their London Group nailed another. Follow Bertrum the cat on The Twit or F-book.
Just look at Bertrum’s facebook photos… he is an incredible scrabble player.
Genius.

Ridiculous.
Brain Farm and Red Bull kill it again with Travis Rice and The Art of Flight Movie Trailer. There are at least 8 “Holy Shit” elements in the first half of this teaser… I don’t even know what to say — Guess we’ll just have to wait to see the full film.
Super Bowl Ad favorites are coming in from every direction. Lets jump into who was in charge of some of these creative pieces.

Super Bowl XLV Advertisement Brand – Chrystler Commercial Name – Born of Fire (Imported from Detroit)
Hydle Ranking – Almost Genius
Eminem previously appeared in a “Brisk” Super Bowl Ad that blatantly states why he does NOT do commercials prior to this Chrysler ad running. Whether it was unfortunate timing or not… the two ads did not jive with me.

Thank You is exactly what the title states; a thank you to everyone who watches Nimbus.
Thank You begins by interviewing individuals from every walk of life about how they predict the winter. The movie then recaps the best of the last three years of Nimbus. Enjoy!
Nimbus Independent was started in 2007 by Eric Pollard in collaboration with Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre, and Chris Bencheter. The four like minded skiers began Nimbus to bring a different perspective to the world of ski movies.

Cementing Old Spice as the number 1 brand of body wash for men.
How did they do it? Just watch.
I think we can cleanly say Old Spice has won this game... even though they were a little late to the game.
