AeroMexico trolls Trump with DNA discount

by thesanfranciscoegotist / January 18, 2019 / These days, most brands accused of dunking on Trump (Nike, Gillette) aren't really. They're creating ads about basic human decency and civil rights - which some of those on the right take as direct attacks against the president.

Somehow Gillette’s “don’t be an asshole” commercial becomes controversial.

by thesanfranciscoegotist / January 16, 2019 / Really? Is this what we've come to? Gillette puts out a spot asking men to be their tagline (the best a man can get) and pledges $3 million to anti-bullying and anti-harassment groups and suddenly half of America is up in arms.

Duncan Channon crafts fun (and relatable) new campaign for Upwork

by thesanfranciscoegotist / January 15, 2019 / We liked Duncan Channon’s “Hey World” campaign for Upwork when it debuted last year. Now they're out with a new campaign titled “This is Happening” that's just as fun and eye catching. The spots are based on situations we've all been in (and with seemingly all the freelance talent in the city hoovered up, situations we run into more and more). The campaign, which includes TV and radio[Read More]

TAZO Brews the Unexpected

by thesanfranciscoegotist / January 14, 2019 / We're surprised no one's taken the piss out of tea commercials before.
