Sprite Commercial featuring Drake WITH CREDITS

February 7th, 2010 Comments

I took a slight hiatus…Pardon the quality.

Feb 13th is too far away, so I present to you the bootleg version of the latest Sprite commercial (featuring Drake). It seems the Coca-Cola Company would like you to believe that Sprite can give you that ’spark’ to create, do, and make something happen. I think the masses will like the spot. I even dig the strategy that (probably) went into the brief. I wonder if a high quality version will leak before February 13th. In the meantime, enjoy Sprite’s decision to play the commercial before films at select movie theaters.

Credits

Client: Sprite

Artist: Drake

Agency: BBH NY

ECD Kevin Roddy

CD: Amee Shah & Matt Ian

My first day observation of Seth Godin’s #Linchpin

January 27th, 2010 Comments

#Linchpin has 108 reviews on Amazon in less than 2 days. 93 of those reviews are 5 stars. That means 86% of people who have read (purchased) the book believe it is perfect.

For increased retention I suggest purchasing the abridged (2 hours as supposed to the unabridged 8 hour version) audiobook as a companion. Good luck finding your place outside of the system. Remember, CUBES ARE EVIL.

1 freEP and 1 mixtape you need to listen to, TODAY

January 27th, 2010 Comments

Oh, what’s the difference between a freEP and a mixtape, you ask? Well, they have a different flow and feel. A freEp I’ll play during times of reflection while mixtapes I’ll play when I want to get live. In addition, as you know, I don’t post many full-length projects on this site. However I had the great pleasure to check out two musical projects that I found to be solid. One of the artists got some post love from me earlier in the week.

Check both of them out.
