Honda

Wieden + Kennedy Easily one of the best ads I’ve seen. It communicates something positive about the product, it’s engaging and merits repeated views. It’s real, and it’s an achievement.

I was in a bar when this commercial came on between baseball-type activities. I was pretty jazzed up to see all those great Porsches on the teevee machine. Yep, feeling pretty good, until I realized it was an ad for Porsche’s newest rolling catastrophe, the Panamera. If you thought that Ferdinand Porsche’s involvement in the [...]

LA GΞAR

By Street Dude | Published: October 1, 2009

LA Gear used to be the leader of cool sneakers, and more importantly, the leader in sneaker sales. Painted in a neon tetra palette, LA Gear successfully trademarks their image as sexy, youthful, and everything else that was en vogue in the late ’80s and early ’90s. On top of that, LA Gear generated an [...]
