About A View From An Adguy

I wasn't sure I would ever get into this blogging thing... ever. But the time has come and here is the home of my thoughts, advice, references, tales, passion and feelings on advertising and the life involved within.

When I decided this was to be a "new" method or additional "voice" to my teaching, motivating and inspiring for my students and friends, my first thoughts turned immediately to time.

TIME! Something we all value and never seem to have enough of. That will be my guide. TIME. I will use mine wisely and respect yours, making the post relevant and timely.

So welcome. Spend some of your valuable time here hopefully to learn, share, be inspired, and maybe even entertained.

What's Missing? See the Whole Picture... Axe Mobile App

I get asked frequently about how to "shake things up" and here is a great mobile application created by Lowe Gingko Uruguay for Axe Day & Axe Night products.

This is a pretty cool "shake up" way to use SMS & MMS to engage their target audience for the latest print ad for the new Axe Day & Axe Night products.

The print ad is censored, and follows the "Squares" campaign with perfect continuity using the campaign line “One is suitable for general audiences. The other one is not.”

Readers are invited to see the censored parts of the ad by texting a number after 9pm, when they will then receive an MMS to complete image that you overlay on the print ad.

Perfect for the male target audience giving them "social currency" and a valuable "coolness discovery" he can send to his friends.
