Automotive ad of the day. 2016 Nissan TITAN XD | Shoulders of Giants


We have all had a giant. Someone who has gone before us. Who encouraged us, inspired us, and challenged us to reach further to new heights. It is by standing on the pillar of their example that we see the way forward, and it is on their shoulders that we built a TITAN.

Video of the day. Branded Dreams - The Future Of Advertising


Branded Dreams - The Future Of Advertising from STUDIO SMACK on Vimeo.
"The real question is not: How many ads do we see? The real question is: What do we have to do to see no ads? And the answer is: go to sleep" (James B. Twitchell)
We see ads everyday and everywhere. They have become part of our life. While some people try to avoid seeing ads, advertisers keep finding new ways to reach us. However they are unable to reach us when we sleep. Our dreams are the last safe and add-free place so it seems.
But what happens when advertisers have the possibility to enter our dreams? Based on recent developments in brain science and technology this might be possible in the near future.
This animated short is an impression of a dream infected by a brand we all know...

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is today unveiling its new video campaign, “War reporters.” Its release coincides with the publication of RSF’s 50th book in the “100 photos for press freedom” series – this one dedicated to the work of Robert Capa.

Created by the advertising agency BETC (Production Stink and Director Owen Trevor), this video highlights the urgency of supporting photoreporters, without whom we would never know the realities of war.

Let’s support those who risk their lives every day to keep us informed and provide us with independent images that are very different from the official ones served up by governments.

As the photoreporter James Nachtwey said: “I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.”
There are the official images. And there is the reality. Photoreporters are heroes. They are men and women who put their life on the line every day.

The craft has lost 40 percent of its personnel in the past 15 years. Supporting them is really urgent. Thanks to them, newspapers manage to publish reportage photos of great quality. New festivals enable photoreporters to continue working independently and to experience the public’s interest, which proves that the demand is there.

Let’s support photoreporters, so that they are able to work in way that provides a vision of the world that is nuanced, human and complex, one that makes a debate possible.

Let’s support those who show us what the official images don’t show.
