A Useful Service

As you all now know technology where advertising is concerned is often used as a way of providing an affordable service for the customer.

Here’s a great one – http://www.expotv.com/

Here products are demonstrated and explained to the consumer. What a neat idea : )

Internet Archive – a useful resource

This is a great resource – much of the material is copyright free – it sa kind of archive of all the other archives.

condoms & gum

You would never see a campaign that links these two products but heres a great example of

right place right time for them to work together. This is the kind of thing Rory was on about

at Oglivy i think ?

INSTRUCTABLES

You migt not think instructables

is relevant to advertising but i would challenge that by saying that as campaigns increasingly

use activities to get people involved this is actually an incredible incredible resource.

For example a guy has posted instructions on ‘How to crush a can on your head’

How to crush a can on your head
Learn how to do this classic bar trick with any of those cans in your recycling bin.

OR

Horn From a Drinking Straw

Ladies and Gentlemen allow me to introduce to you Sketch-up.

I was on the train to Plymouth and i happenned to meet the haed of garden design at UCF, he showed me this great software. If you all already know about it then please, why didn’t you tell me ? anyway

this is free, really user friendly idiot proof 3D software. Its great for creating

virtual spaces. I figure it would be a good way to place your scamps and macced up ads in ‘Real’ environments. maybe i could do a wee session on it, once i gain a basic ability ?
meanwhile, download it for free at the above link and have a go.
