Ad Agencies and their Music Videos

Written by ^CP on November 16th, 2011.      1 comments

Fortunately NZ ad agencies are an awesome bunch, who tend to let their work do the talking. Occasionally their overseas counterparts make themselves look like noobs by making music video's about themselves. Check this one out from the UK.

Wow, this is great - if great means ridiculously embarrassing.

Remember to tell everyone it is Diet Coke too. Detail is always important in the art of deception. So I read.

We were all hanging out for coffee this morning! I think its the weather. Phil had the usual four shots in his flat white. Ron who does our coffees has affectionately named it "the nuke". The rest of us settle for cappuccino's' and long blacks ;-)

Guys.... There's a Tornado Outside.

Written by ^CP on May 3rd, 2011.      0 comments

Here is the footage of the Tornado that raced past our Albany office. Scary Stuff!

Warning: RAW footage, and some language may offend. 



 
Within minutes the team had this clip on YouTube and sent to every major news station to inform the country of what had just happened. After being picked up on every major news channel in NZ and Australia (and having over 100,000 hits on YouTube) we figured we had done our job, and let people see how intense this tornado was. Our thoughts go out to those who lost so much, and a especially to the family who lost a loved one in this freakish event. Kia Kaha.

This young artist is grabbing a lot of attention by the likes of CBS and other American news outlets. Stephen Wiltshire has been drawing cities since being diagnosed with autism at a young age, saying it’s his way to express himself. What’s unique about this artist though is that all he needs is a 20 minute helicopter ride above New York and after 7 days, 12 pens, and a lot of music on his ipod, he finishes the massive 18 ft accurate depiction of the city all from memory. He’s so accurate that when drawing Rome, he drew the exact number of columns in the Pantheon. Cool eh?
