We’re into our last month of the year now, but rather than focusing on Christmas campaigns lets have a look at what the creative minds in the world have been up to.

MARKETING & ADVERTISING:

I always wondered why you had to print an e-ticket. Well perhaps JC Penny’s mobile coupons would solve this problem.

Weetabix tries build itself on top of another brand (Google) with http://www.insideyoursearch.com/. But does this really work? Surely it could apply to a lot of brands?

Net-a-porter extends our Wonderland concept into their latest Cruise campaign. This time though, we were tasked to create banners beyond the traditional formats such as the push down unit on sites like Elle UK and Style. With a combination of supporting media formats and branded graphics we’ve completely taken over Elle UK today!
