Monday is the day to start fresh, right? I could have started the week with one of those aggressive 6-sweating-packs post shouting “Today is The day to start fresh! eat right!train hard and live healthy!” But sometimes all you need is a bit of coziness, time to let all your ideas take shape at their own speed, forget about working on the damn resume.

Aloha Braddah! I don’t advocate alcohol consumption, but this ad really made me laugh. Took me right back to my time in Maui, where people are genuinely layback, relax, and know how to seize the day.

It really did the trick on me, I … Continue reading TGIMonday: best ways to get you high this week

Thanks to my great teacher on Advertising and Society for sharing this hilarious video of HSBC: I laughed so hard at their illustration of the French “carefree approach”, and recognized me in the poor lad who traveled to South America, but wait and see the ad number 6 about the dining etiquette in China, this … Continue reading Never underestimate the power of local knowledge !
