Copywriter-Bob Devol Communications What will be the hottest new medium for the New Year? Maybe it's not as new as you think. See my latest post on ADmonishments: http://bobdevol.wordpress.com/

On a LinkedIn B2B marketing forum, I posted this response to a query asking for opinions on trends in B2B marketing for 2010:

Copywriter-Bob Devol Communications Truth in Advertising Department: It broke almost a year ago, but I still love this spot for Heineken from Wieden + Kennedy, Portland, directed by Stacy Wall. It's called "Let a Stranger Drive You Home" and it's just about the only "drink responsibly" spot that actually depicts characters who are, well, thoroughly enj...oying some enhanced happy. Except, of course, for the "stranger" -- a jovial, yet sober, cabbie. Here's a link to the "making of" video for a behind-the-lens P.O.V.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mI9sRFhNlY

Copywriter-Bob Devol Communications Leave it to Apple to zig when everyone else is zagging. That includes their marketing/advertising.

Apple does none of the things that pundits always say you should do to succeed in the Internet economy.

Copywriter-Bob Devol Communications In the You CAN Make This Stuff Up Department: Ever wonder where Santa and Rudolph came from? (Hint: it isn't the North Pole.) Read my latest post on ADmonishments at http://bobdevol.wordpress.com/.

Copywriters and art directors didn’t save Christmas. I needed a C.A.G.D. (Cheap Attention Getting Device) and “saved” is more dramatic than ‘helped create.”

Copywriter-Bob Devol Communications My Favorite-est TV Spot Ever (for Today): Maria Bamford now appearing in spots for Target (aka, "Tergit") stores. Once again, Target's creative team hits the bulls-eye (Get it? "Target?" "bulls-eye?") with their new holiday shopping campaign starring the slightly short circuited Ms. Bamford.

Copywriter-Bob Devol Communications In the Can't Make This Stuff Up Department: just heard a radio spot for GM's ingenious On Star on-board driver assistance system. (Which, by the way I love. Got it on my GMC truck.) If you've heard the spots, they're actual recordings of On Star emergency assistance calls and they're compelling stuff. In the spot I... just heard, On Star is helping a mother and child get assistance after an accident. Once they hear help is on the way, the little kid chimes in and says to On Star, "thank you, car!" Damn, sometimes a product speaks for itself.

Copywriter-Bob Devol Communications Crowdsourcing. Is it us against (a lot of) them? What do you think?

Imagine advertising created without copywriters and art directors. Ads, commercials, designs, logos, even whole campaigns conjured up by hundreds of erstwhile “creatives” out there…somewhere…somehow…

Copywriter-Bob Devol Communications It's Computer Wars II: Mac versus PC.

Microsoft has rolled out a far-reaching campaign, through Crispin Porter Bogusky, touting the PC People-inspired advantages of new Windows 7. Apple has counterattacked with a new run of "Mac and PC" spots, again from TBWA/Los Angeles, taking swipes at Windows' checkered past and... how it might affect its present. Considering that you guys are mostly MAC people, I'm guessing there's a bias here. That aside, does the new campaign for Windows 7 sway you even a little?

hey... don't forget Linux.... :P
All of my computer artwork & design is done using Linux Apps. and I'm not even a highly technically skilled freak haha.
I'm not one for the platform wars but, I did have constant issues with Windows (it's fine as long as it never meets the .net and Mac is just too pricey for my taste. But, it basically comes down ... See Moreto, what ever works for you.
I do however still have my G4 mac that I love.... and will never part with.. and it runs 10.2 which I still view as the best to date.
