It’s go time.
Welp, kids. Wedding weekend is finally here. After 18 months of waiting patiently and then not-so-patiently Brad and I are on-deck.
So maybe I should get off the Internetz and hang out with my family? Ok. Fine.
Catch ya’ll on the flip side!
What a fantastic idea! One song, different lines, different designs for each line. Fantastic.

“Recipe receipts” is a rad campaign idea for Hellman’s done by my friends at Ogilvy Brazil in Sao Paulo. They created a special software they installed at cash registers in supermarkets that knew when someone purchased Hellman’s and would spit out a custom recipe based on the other items in their grocery cart. Pretty smooth idea.
Love this illustrative interpretation from the Big Lebowski by artist Josh Cooley.

One of my favorite parts about being back in northern Virginia is hanging out with this little lady. Isabel’s a total doll.
8 days!!!!!!!!! Soak it up, laugh it off, scream into your pillow, hold Brad’s hand, throw an egg against the wall, gaze at your dress, and so enjoy this magical time!”

Hilarious idea. Thanks to the Magnificent Molly Miller for sending it my way.
Happy Friday! Today’s been an easy/fun day…mostly because it’s my last day at work before all the wedding shennanigans begin. OMGZZZZ IT’S HAPPENINGGGGGGGGG.
The best part of today was the special Mother’s Day Lunch we had at work which was themed “Supermoms.” I invited my grandmother who lives in town to attend. She’s 85 and just as sassy as ever. We had a great time and she got a kick out of seeing where I work and meeting my friends/colleagues. She pointed out that five members of our family have worked in ad agencies, which is pretty dang impressive. Check her out playing some pool on the creative floor. Like I said, still sassing it up.
Love this illustration by Lim Heng Sweet. Just a genuine, generous reminder for us all today.
A recent study commissioned by San-Francisco-based ad agency Heat and conducted this past March by iThink confirmed what so many of us already know. People who work in advertising are “not normal.”
WELL. YA DON’T SAY.
A couple interesting facts from the report:
- 71% of advertising/marketing professionals say the pay attention to brand posts in their Facebook news feed “all of the time” versus 23% of the general population.
- 92% of advertising/marketing professionals use Twitter to follow brands they like. 33% of the general population does so.
- 70% of advertising/marketing professionals were aware of Burger King’s “Subservient Chicken” digital marketing campaign vs. 8% of the general population.
- People in advertising are more likely to puke from drinking too much at office holiday parties (37% vs. 9% of the general public), do drugs (26% vs. 3%) and hook up with a coworker (26% vs. 8%).
This is my shocked face.
