A few months ago, JC Penney appointed Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson. The move caused “family focused” groups across the country to boycott the brand. JC Penney rightly stood by their decision. Continuing to stand by their beliefs, they released the above ad for father’s day. I just adore it, it made me smile and gave me goosebumps. Good for you JC Penney.

Apparently some people are up in arms over these spots for New York state tourism. In the spots, people redo the iconic “I <3 NY” logo, replacing the heart with some of the various activities they love doing in New York. Though some people are saying it’s defiling a classic logo, I think it speaks to the strong nature of the logo. Once you can take a logo out of context or change something about it and still have people understand, your logo is successful! The spots are charming and could become part of an even larger campaign in other seasons. Bravo BBDO, don’t listen to the naysayers.

Further proof that people who work in advertising are not normal social media users. I am a yes to everything but the last group, fortunately, though I’ve witnessed others doing all of the options. Thanks Colby for sharing.

I just love the Ruelala splash page! I believe it changes every month and it’s always so clever. This month’s baking theme especially caught my eye.

ad student sends out fake press release to get a job
Gutsy move but not sure it was a good one. Also I happen to know they just hired a Miami Ad School graduate so she wasn’t the first.

product placement within draw something
Great idea. Doesn’t feel forced and adds some interest to the game.

Olympics commercials pretty much always make me choke up. This one from P&G is no exception.
