Get ready: that guy from Brooklyn asks 20 more questions on advertising, marketing and media

Article Abstract:

A few marketing and advertising campaigns and promotions could not escape the eye of the author, such as BBDO New York's TV ad for Charles Schwab, which misspelled the name of featured football player Cris Carter. Another possible misstep noted is Fritos Racerz car-shaped snacks prompting a possible morbid reaction from the customer who might not want to eat a barbecued race car.

Some ads and campaigns we ought to have seen, and some that we wish we hadn't

Article Abstract:

The author, reflecting on the good and the awful of the past few months in advertising, media and marketing, takes jabs at McDonald's, Chock Full o'Nuts, Dannon Spring Water and Crazy Eddie. CNN was caught misspelling onscreen graphics and Miller High Life's ad with the Playboy Playmate was laughed at out loud. And Columbia Tristar Television Distribution is marveled at for the idea of a series that would present stories of people who are into eBay.
