Here is a personal take on what account planning means for us. The creative team gets lost in the woods because they don’t have a proper brief to follow - no sense of direction. They end up throwing a party while the account planner needs to go on his explorer journey to find the best idea on how to solve this problem. The compass eventually finds the right direction after a random set of...

The Internet in Society: Empowering or Censoring...
digitalheirloom:
Exposing some idealistic myths about freedom and technology (during Iran’s ‘twitter revolution’ fewer than 20,000 Twitter users actually took part), Evgeny argues for some realism about the actual uses and abuses of the internet.
Every problem, every dilemma, every dead end we find ourselves facing in life,...

There is so much talk about thinking outside the box.. often we get assigned tasks where there isn’t even a box - which simply makes it harder. This video is a great parody of all this talk and snobbery around creative people.

Love Poem.
Advertising. What a heavy word.
It seems dragged down by all the shame, all the anger, all the selfishness.
When it is about communication, data skillfully shaped into information.
About a dialogue, not a monologue.
About people getting closer to get to know each other.
About love.

I have been talking a lot about innovation, and that it happens in environments where a lot of different people and ideas meet. Go out to the park, people watch, do something out of the ordinary like go-carting, watch a ballet, go to the museum. That is what I do when I need an idea. Or simply talk to a lot of people about it. But doing things parallel rather than sequential can make you see...

Emerging Trends
Latitudinous/ Relative Information Visualization
Societies are getting more and more complex, and I see a need for us to make sense of all the information around us, in order to better understand ourselves. With new technologies, we create art to inform. Art is the easiest way for our brains to understand information, and by scanning a greater surface we are starting to understand the world in...

Exposed for the better
I went to the SF MOMA the other day, where they had a very impressive exhibition called “Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the camera since 1870”. Exposed is a very suitable name, as people where seen doing the most embarrassing, provocative, and violent things. The concept of voyeurism has always been very interesting to me, especially as an advertising major. Looking into peoples...

The Wilderness Downtown →
Have you ever wanted to travel back to the lace you grew up, to rediscover it? This experiment allows you to do so. I was surprised to see that even my pink house in the little village in Sweden appeared. Google really has access to everything, and here is the upside of it. What else would you be able to do with this kind of information? The most beautiful is that you could write a piece of advice...
