The Chase

I know it’s been out there for a while now, but it’s ads like this that just have to be shared. So this is me doing my part. Great commercial by Intel.

Lego: Builders of Tomorrow

Lego: Who doesn’t love it? And, as you might have seen before on Subtielman, the little bricks keep inspiring people to do great things. And the last campaign is no exception. Builders of Tomorrow takes us back to the ’60, ’70 and ’80 where little kids have come up with the big things of the future. Nice one!

Here’s a trailer of an interesting movie that is coming our way. Influencers is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends & creativity become contagious today in the world of music and fashion.

Directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today’s pop culture. Looking forward to this one. Coming this fall. Not sure what that means though; Looking out the window confirms fall has already started…

Captcha advertising

October 7th, 2010 | Posted in: advertising

Some things are brilliant because they are so simple. And the Captcha ad is one of these. Captcha? These are the little pieces of text you have to type in to show you are really human online when ordering or subscribing. Well, you could use these for ads instead of annoying us with banners all the time…

Isn’t it smart? A job well done Solve Media. Now we have to wait for the first applications.

Mini Clubman ad

Great ad for the Mini Clubman, the larger brother of the Mini. The coolest thing is, the concept came from two students at the Miami Ad School, Maximilian Pinegger and Justin Salice-Stephan. Great work.

Sand Printer

July 14th, 2010 | Posted in: advertising

Advertising is following you everywhere, and as long as it is smart like this Sand Printer, I really don’t mind. The idea is as simple as it is brilliant. Zana Design has developed this big wheel with text on the outsides. If you start walking insinde the wheel, like a hamster, the letters will be pressed in the sand leaving a text behind on the beach.

Simple, smart and after one wave everything is back as it was. Great idea!
