Happy New… February!?

What! We’re a month into 2012 already? And so it goes, eh? A happy, if not ever-so-slightly belated, New Year wish to each of you from the IHAVEANIDEA team.

One Week After Tomorrow

Well, a week later we should all be almost recovered from the Tomorrow Awards Conference and Ceremony in Amsterdam last Tuesday.

“Now I know why they are called the #tomorrowawards – I’ve awarded myself a lovely hangover today,” IHAVEANIDEA contributor and ECD at Tribal DDB Amsterdam Chris Baylis tweeted.

That sums it up nicely.

Award Show Bedlam! Who’s ready for the Tomorrow Awards?

This is it! The Public Judges did their thing, the Monster Judges did theirs, and now we are only days away from the semi-annual Tomorrow Awards Conference & Ceremony! The last one was in the IHAVEANIDEA headquarters of Montreal, Canada, but this time around, we’re bringing the future of advertising to Amsterdam! Ignacio and Brianna are already in town, making all of the last minute preparations for what is bound to be another crazy and very inspiring day next Tuesday.

Where in the World is the IHAVEANIDEA Team?

Ah, the old “Inbox.”

Isn’t this where Brett posts fresh-squeezed commentary on some of the latest and the greatest campaigns to hit the market?

Typically and historically, yes. But change is good and IHAVEANIDEA is changing things up in the Inbox, starting now, to give you a weekly glimpse behind the wizard’s curtain.

JWT London is turning the air Pear thumbnail

JWT London is turning the air Pear

The UK is a veritable Candyland, with chocolate bars and sweets of all sorts that are rare or completely unknown on this side of the pond. One such treat is called the pear drop, a yellow and pink pear shaped candy with a distinctive (but not necessarily pear) flavour.

Well a new company called Drop Drinks has gone and put that great taste into a soft drink, and the folks of JWT London invite everyone “turn the air pear” in pretty much the grossest way possible.
