‘A Glasgow tower block is set for worldwide fame as the colourful star of a new TV advert.’
The cat is out of the bag, Glasgow, Scotland is the chosen location for Sony to follow up the bouncy balls of San Francisco. A blog has been launched to document the development and the ever growing interest in this forthcoming campaign.

Lots of interesting stuff going on at studio Trokia, where product designers are exploring creative technologies to develop a new approach to advertising and branding.
There is fun to be had with their ‘SMS Guerilla Projector’…
‘A device that enables the user to project text based SMS messages in public spaces, in streets, onto people, inside cinemas, shops, houses etc.’
Trokia recently spoke at the We love Technology gig in Huddersfield, looked like a great event.

Check out these Spanish pharmaceutical and healthcare ads on Flickr.
Originally published in magazines distributed to rural medical clinics or ‘Clínica Rural’ in the late sixties and early seventies, these vintage ads have just the right blend of Madison Avenue-inspired typography and psychedelic groovitude.

Farfar have quite literally produced an all singing, all dancing campaign to promote Sweden’s capital, Stockholm. The main event being a video personalisation module that allows you’re name to be sung from great heights and at varying pitches, as you become part of Stockholm the Musical, a slick site it is too.

‘The Vines’ have exclusively debuted their promo for their latest single on You Tube.
‘…marking the first time a major act has premiered its content on the destination. The video, “Anysound,” fits well into the anything-goes, viral nature of YouTube…’
So we are gonna see an ever increasing corporate interest in the web video community - no surprise there then. An interest which for the time being will neither harm or prevent us getting our fair share of shits and giggles out of ‘Youtube’ for the next few months I’m sure…
For those looking to start playing with something else, I have recently come across Jumpcut and Vimeo, both offering a similar experience model of explore, upload, edit, remix etc.
