In an effort to better serve their customers, Express launched a survey to solicit consumer feedback on how to help shape the future of Express customer service. Nice work Express. Except for that the survey states it will take 15 minutes. Seems like quite a bit of time to ask for. Would be interesting to see what kind of feedback is offered and what is actually implemented.
Wow. I am inspired. Incredible Nike commercial by Wieden + Kennedy. It is one of those ads that makes you want to be apart of their agency and reminds you how beautiful advertising can be. Perfect piece of music for the spot too (The Hours, “Ali in the Jungle.”)
As a marketer, I obviously watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. While I was disappointed in many sub-par ads this year, below is the small collection of ads that did impress me. Also check out USA Today’s Ad Meter — even though I don’t agree with most of the ratings.
Dodge :: Man’s Last Stand
My favorite ad so far this year. Naturally, it’s a car commercial.
Google :: Parisian Love
Most inspiring ad of the bowl. A simple yet beautiful showcase of how Google is there for you – during all your life events — big or small.
Doritos :: House Rules.
Just funny.
Doritos :: Snack Attack Samurai
Pretty cool that this was made by a Minneapolis duo.
Coca-Cola :: Hard Times
Smart attention grabbing partnership.

Go visit Lunch Breath’s Flickr stream. His work kept me entertained for way to long. Some samples of his work below.
To me, secrets are inspiring. They connect people to people through shared experiences. They make the world seem less lonely. The PostSecret books, created by Frank Warren, have moved me. His latest video takes it a step further; Seeing people admit their secrets aloud in public brings his project to a whole new level. Whether the confession is joyful or sad or humorous or full of anguish, it is beautiful to see people trust you with their confession. I highly recommend his latest book, PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death , and God. Actually, I recommend all of his books, which you can find on Amazon.
Zeus Jones and Puny are doing something really cool. They’ve recognized the students at the Minneapolis based Richard R Green Central Park School need some help as 97% of students at Green Central live below the poverty line. As this kind of poverty has an impact on learning, Zeus and Puny teamed up to raise $7,000 to send all 550 kids from Green Central on a field trip.
There are three easy ways to help the cause:
