I bloody hate that question, and most of the others, so great to see it getting the justice it deserves. Go oatmeal!

Saw this the other night and have to say better than the trailer or I expected.
Worth every penny just for the little girls and her 'fluffy' obsession.
Brilliant.
How to suck at facebook-one of these persona's is you...

Look most of us use facebook, and while many would never admit it, most us tend to be like one of these options. (There's more than the above click through to this page to see them all)
The oatmealis simply one of the most, on the money cartoonists out there, and very much appeals to my demented sense of humour. Very worth reading, and yes I am probably the desperate marketing guy in these persona's : )
Super Delicious Ingredient Force! Another brand gets the marketing right.

Look at your brand, now back to Taco Bell, now back to your brand.. now back to..Taco Bell. Sadly, not everything can be inventive as Old Spice, but we are sure as hell getting some great brands like Old Spice and recently Taco Bell and Toyota engaging in new, fresh, and just plain kick ass, non corporate bullshit ways. And, they are benefiting from it all greatly. I'm on a horse.
Okay enough of that ad, I promise, but see how ingrained it has become?
So the above video is for Taco bell, doing a retro 70's stylee, Saturday morning, badly drawn and acted cartoon angle. Just the stuff I grew up on and lusted to watch more of, and internet audiences love to share. Clichéd to say viral, but a well known label, and fitting.
This video is the second in a series. #1 got half a million views with very little effort. The scripts are very on the money and unashamedly go after a hip, adult swim and very stoner audience, especially with their tongue in cheek 'munchies' take.
Add in the 1st episode, a fun retro web site (scroll to the right, and keep scrolling), some nice facebook and twitter accounts for the superheroes, and all done in very subtle Taco Bell branding throughout.
One huge problem about all these great ads recently. The brand awareness, like the internet is global, and yet the Toyota, Old Spice and Taco Bell are all for USA products. Well, they are least building awareness and desire for the products should they come to Australia. (Come back Taco Bell, I love you!)
We really do need some superheroes to sort this regionalism out. To the El Camino!
