Advertising agency Jugular has created a series of ads for Canterbury Institute, an addiction treatment center in New Jersey. The ads, which launced on Tuesday morning, read “DON’T DIE LINDSAY!”

Honestly we would like to see the written permission from Lindsay Lohan regarding the use of her name for the advertisements.

Mohawked Marketers – “Tradigital” At Grey New York

September 28, 2007

While the majority of older ad agencies continue to fight off the notion of moving on the web, Grey New York is embracing it in a big way. Their shifting the entire agency to become “tradigital.” The term was coined by president Steve Hardwick who told Advertising Week, “We’re bringing in all kinds of kids with mohawks and tattoos.”

“mohawks and tattoos”

That exact condescending attitude is exactly what got the traditional ad agencies in the problem in the first place.

FYI … Grey… your site is still a blank Screen in Google, regardless of how many Mohawks and tattoos you hired

September 27, 2007

Roll on the floor funny.. I found this on Fark … and figured Diggers would want to see it because it’s freaking eye-opening to see Bill Lumbergh look 200 years old.. Low and behold, it was already submited and never made it to the main page.. hence the reason for blogspam…. I figured Diggers deserve to see this… It’s all the office space characters in their full glory today… as compared to yesterday…

Here are all the pictures and the post that deserves to be on the main page of digg…

People next time read a full post before burying it.. you know damm well that Nerd Alerts deserved a digg for that…

New 2008 Jeep Liberty Ads

September 26, 2007

Cutwater, the San Francisco-based advertising agency that is part of the Omnicom entity, is the creative agency for the Jeep brand. GlobalHue, based in Southfield, Mich., handles multicultural advertising and marekting. BBDO Detroit, located in Troy, Mich., is the brand’s agency of record.

Full Press Release

Huh?

Let me understand this…

Cutwater part of Omnicom does the creative
GlobalHue does the the ‘multi-cultural’
BBDO is the Agency of record

let’s get this right… so Chrysler’s Jeep hired 3 agencies to send out 3 messages.

Spends millions of dollars on marketing, and the English version of Jeep.com shows up as a BLANK PAGE in Google.

No client testimonials.. nothing shows up from jeep.com in Google.

A site like Jeep should be dominating the results… yet they don’t even show up for SUV.

Now I know people state ‘my Jeep ain’t an SUV’ fine… then then it must be a great 4×4 right?

September 24, 2007

MWW Group one of the nation’s top ten public relations firms, today announced that it has been retained as the public relations agency of record for Prodea Systems. As agency of record, MWW Group will develop and implement strategic positioning initiatives. Full Press Release

I really hope they are talking about Google Position, because currently Prodea Systems is a virtual ‘blank page’ in Google

This Ad Agency addiction to flash is outstanding, it keeps firms like Yooter InterActive Marketing Agency in Business.

I hope MWW does a better job at SEO than Prodea’s initial agency.

The Famous Digg Sort Order Bug

September 22, 2007

Is it me? Or did I select ’sort by most diggs’ and this is what I get… Common Guys, it’s not that hard to fix… I didn’t bitch when you changed the comments… I hated it.. but I didn’t bitch.. I didn’t bitch with the redesign… I hate it.. but didn’t bitch… but when I want to sort the comments … common people… now I am bitching.

Feel free to click on the image to see the bug in it’s full glory.

Digg Fix Order

Something worth noting — seems like Stumble Upon has no problem pointing out the flaw in Digg, but Diggers are burying it right and left.
