ElectTheJury.com – Andy Awards Jury Selection… Could Be You?!?!

smoovebert — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:22:30 +0000

So the Andy Awards are doing something interesting this year–instead of Co-Jury Chairmen Ty Montague (JWT) and Michael Lebovitz (Big Spaceship) picking the same ol’ back-slapping, glad-handing usual suspects that judge every advertising awards show from here to the south of France, they opened up jury selection to popular vote via a website, electhejury.com.

The nominees are not limited to the who’s who of advertising, but also to various influencers in popular, art, and digital culture, including Banksy, Shepard Fairey, David Byrne, Takashi Murakami, the dude that started YTMND.com, and more. They are all vying for 25 spots on the jury and are all “encouraged” to campaign for votes. (A somewhat hilarious, though somewhat Inside Baseball campaign video from cp+b’s Andrew Keller has already surfaced on youtube, for example), and there are downloadable (and customizable) posters to post around your place of employment (see “vote smoovebert graphic) Oh, what’s that you say? Your favorites not on the list? Feel free to nominate them. Even if it is only a dj/bmxer/epicurean/art director/gadabout. *ahem*

Absolutely no credit check for those who have “less than sparkling credit” and yet can afford a luxury vehicle. BOOOM!

BooneOakley.com – portfolio site writ as interactive youtube video

Boone Oakley takes advantage of youtube’s interactive links to produce a portfolio site. Clever. Well executed. First, listen to the sound of a million creatives smacking their foreheads and then color me jealous.

Laptop Hunters: Homeless Frank

So, I think CP+B’s Laptop Hunters campaign is strangely clever, even though it relies on grossly oversimplifying the buying process and the fact that Lauren, Giampaolo, and the kid and his mom are ignorant morons that they found by trolling craigslist for budget-minded laptop shoppers. Fortunately/unfortunately, they represent a whole lot of people in the US, and really? Windows is just fine for a lot of people and money matters.

In any case, I found this spoof to be pretty funny. also see apple’s retort to the laptop hunters campaign.

Perfect Fools Blog

Perfect Fools from Christian Mezöfi on Vimeo.
Perfect Fools, who are a super sweet digital creative agency straight out of Stockholm/New York/Amsterdam, have a blog. Aside from links to their work and oddities from their travels, they post random cool shit like this tour of their Stockholm office, made by strapping a Canon 5D Mk2 to a radio controlled car. I had two thoughts while watching this video: I really need/want/need a 5D so I can put my fast Canon glass to work (look at the DOF!), and “Dear God, let there be an inadvertent upskirt shot.”

Aside from that, check out their work here. Also, shout out to Kox.

another ridiculous windows ad.
