  Worth a watch for any creative. The debate on copying continues and what is original. (via VHX)

  Unusual but nice insight into why people should consider adoption or fostering. You don’t have to be perfect to be some childs new perfect parent. For AdoptUsKids.org Kirshenbaum Bond & Partners (New York).

  I rarely get chills from an ad but this TVC for The Organ Donor Foundation of South Africa by the agency Lowe Bull CT there is unreal.

  Fantastic insight. Heart wrenching.

  I’m making sure my donor card is up to date.

  Now, MAKE IT A PONY!!

  I just got an email from the delightful Aron Fried of DDB in New York. He let me know that he was the writer on the “Make it a pony” poster for the Art Directors Club (posted two days ago). Aron was kind enough to send along the full campaign for our collective delectation. I’ve posted my favourites here. Jeez, some of them are so true I kind of did a simultaneous LOL and SOD (sob of despair). Those would be “The testing,” “Men/women 0-95,” “Schedule a meeting” and “My dog hates cats” (I’ve literally heard a version of the last one). Full credits are posted below. Thank you, Aron.

  The making of Sony ‘2 Worlds’ is so inspiring. Loving that it was done by Spy Films in TO too. They do a great party in July… and even better ads. To top it off the VO is Leonard Cohen and the score is by Clint Mansell. Need I say more. Well it’s also directed by Arev Manoukain. Yep, it’s gold.

  The Good Belly Project

  Great idea by a pizza restaurant chain in the states called the Good Belly.
  Every time you take a picture of your pizza in store or at home with Instagram and hashtag it #goodbellyproject they will donate at $1 to charity.

  Now that is a integrated campaign between store and digital doing something good. Love it.

  Love this animation to promote Ji Lee’s new book ‘Word as Image’.

  It is so simple.

  Ji is now the new Creative Director at Facebook after being at Google. See more of his work here. P.S. I want his brain.
