The Power of PrintFolks have been going on and on about the death of print for years now. iPad this. Touchscreen that. But perhaps it’s less about “death” and more about “dearth”: The dearth of good ideas that can make a medium sing, just like it has for all these new-fangled technologies.

Carlton Dry and Steven SeagalFormer martial artist and action film star turned overweight commercial flameout, Steven Seagal, joins Clemenger BBDO’s latest campaign for Carlton Dry. The gist? Win the chance to have former 7th black belt aikido student turned overweight animal rights activist and supporter of the 14th Dalai Lama, Steven Seagal, play as you in a three-minute action film. Who wouldn’t want a former actor/producer/writer turned overweight recording artist and reserve deputy sheriff play them in a mini-movie?

I wouldn’t normally post a radio ad, but I’ve been doing some radio research lately and DDB‘s Real Men of Genius campaign for Bud Light has always been strong in the copywriting department. Enjoy.

Bundy Favourable Lie Commercial

There is so much to like in this ad. Suffice to say, I have a soft spot for dapper gentlemen. And rum.
