This is some interesting stuff… that sends a fairly powerful message when you take into account the actions of those actually sending the message (which is beautifully documented, of course). The Iraq Veterans Against the War put together this guerrilla piece which is pretty self explanatory, yet powerful.
Check out more photos of the event over at Osocio. definitely gets the guerrilla advertising mind rolling.

Stumbled across tagadummer.com and was impressed, to say the least. It’s well-thought out, well planned, and just funny enough to get the point across without being over the top. One of the main elements of the site is a downloadable “letter D” to convert… well, I don’t really need to explain:
Now I’m not necessarily bashing on Hummers (although my current car does weigh less than one-third of a hummer). I’m just intrigued by the tagadummer.com website, and the message and means of message dissemination and social commentary. Check out the site for some more interesting stuff.

I stumbled across this one via the always interesting eternallycool.net, “keep you up on everything that makes Rome eternally cool.” It’s as self explanatory as it is slightly odd. But beautiful none the less.

A lot of my photographic work has dealt with shadows, so I’m a bit biased, but this piece, entitled “seeder” by Lithuanian artist Morfai is just incredible.

I thought about posting some sort of poignant criticism of some piece of advertising, but I wasn’t really feeling it. Plus, I saw this and it changed my day just a bit. Comparison can be quickly drawn to the other recently popular video Motu by Blu, but this is just more simple in a pleasantly beautiful way. It really made my day.

I realize this isn’t the most current piece, but i just stumbled across this video again and it made me think a bit So much “guerilla” marketing is minimally guerilla, and is more just experiential or outdoor/ambient. Assuming the campaign was really as powerful as this wrap portrays it to be, it’s a pretty huge impact for minimal effort and such a simplistic idea at heart.
It all supports the charity event “music for life” whose focus this past year was on drinkable water. It won 2 golden, 1 silver and a titanium award at Cannes Lions 2008.
