So I was browsing through the Ad Age site today and found an interesting article that ranked the Top 100 Advertising Campaigns. Now number one didn't surprise me all that much, it was number three that really kind of surprised me. Ranked number three was the Marlboro Man advertising campaign. It really surprised me that they would rank the Marlboro campaign so high, mainly due to the idea that is so often put forth that big tobacco is evil. It's always been kind of funny to me when people talk about big tobacco or big oil or anything like that. The whole idea of the huge corporation that is pure evil. When you think about it isn't big tobacco just providing a service? Isn't it up to the individual people to decide whether or not they smoke? I mean I understand that advertisers work to sway and create public opinion, but in the end isn't it up to the public? Just a thought.

So stand straight and act your age...
Are the rumors true???? Is she really dead???
Yesterday the entire entertainment media panicked as rumors of 16 year old Miley Sirus' death came out. Supposedly a hacker got into her fan website and posted a message telling the world that the pop star was in a fatal car crash. Unbeknown to Miley everyone in the news media was scrambling around trying to find the truth. Well as you all know she IS NOT DEAD! I was watching E! News yesterday and someone that was interviewing Miley actually broke the news to her that she was "dead". I just think it is so disgusting that people are so obsessed with her that they would fake her death! It is unbelievable, I personally don't like her show/movies or music, but I would never hope for her death! On all of these YouTube blogs people are saying that it's too bad the rumors aren't really true about her death. I have never seen people more obsessed with a celebrity (well maybe Britney Spears) as they are with Miley Sirus! Even though these rumors are extreamely hurtful, the amount of free press (good or bad) from all of the rumors is remarkable. I wonder if some of these rumors are created by people in her own camp to gain her more publicity! If you go on YouTube there are over 38 homemade videos about her supposed death! Here is one I found particularly ridiculous.
Tis' the Seasons!
Being in NYC last week I began to notice all the Christmas decorations starting to go up, especially in Little Italy where there was a huge sign that said Merry Christmas in lights going across the street. Then coming home last night and catching up on all of the shows that I watch I began to notice all the Christmas commercials on television. Even though personally I think that Christmas commercials can get boring cause you see the same thing over and over again. This Christmas season though I have noticed one commercial that I think is one of the best Christmas commercials I have ever seen, Macy's. I personally love their new campaigns starting from last Christmas season where they have all the celebrities who sell their merchandise there in the commercial. I think its genius and I loved how they used it throughout the year especially the Speed Dating one. I did notice the first one of the Christmas season where they show different shows/movies that speak of Macy's in a collage. The latest one that I have seen which I have fallen in love with is the one where all the celebrities are telling this little girl Virginia that Santa is real and that his story will live forever and the last part is the little girl putting her letter to Santa in a mailbox. I love it because its so fairytale like makes you want to believe in Santa all over again.
New York City
Wow, that is all I have to say to describe the last week I spent in the city. One take-away I must share is that Catch Your Limit has done a tremendous job on teaching us everything we need to go into the real world. Not one thing was said this past weekend at the AWNY conference that I didn't already know. New York has this aura about it that takes you over. All of your values go out the window when the "perfect" job is dangled out in front of you within reach. The city has a different pace that any other place in the world. I have been contemplating A LOT about what I want to do when I graduate in 3 weeks. Part of me wants to pack up two suitcases and book a one way flight to the city. It sounds so appealing and so fun, but I would be sacrificing a lot of things that are very important to me here in Florida. My family, boyfriend, friends and beach are not in New York City. I think as Ad majors we are brainwashed into thinking to make it big or be "successful" you have to do it in the city. I disagree. My definition of being successful is finding something I love to do, and having people to share it with. In NYC I would be sharing my successes by myself, in a closet of an apartment and probably be wishing I was somewhere else. But don't get me wrong I love NYC, I am just realizing maybe its not for me, and wanted to remind everyone that success is what you make of it not what others tell you.
Oh, the World of Statistics
So I saw someone did a quote about advertising, so I decided to do a quote about creativity. YAY! So my quote is by Mark Twain who said, "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." My interpretation, though somewhat biased because I just read Hard Times by Charles Dickens, is that there can be no real use or development of the imagination if it is based on facts alone. When one thinks of statistics and numbers and cold hard facts and only what is tangible and visual it limits the borders of the mind. Which, frankly, is ridiculous. The mind, the imagination is limitless. It brings us to places we have never been; it has created objects which have never been made or seen. Statistics and facts are important, but there must be a happy medium. Facts can only take one so far until emotion, compassion and empathy must kick in.
Unfortunately, I believe, as do others, that the developments in technology have made it somewhat challenging for children to imagine. I believe they limit creativity for the users. In a video game the world and characters have already been created. There is no need to turn your backyard into another dimension where you're all alien fairies anymore. My niece and nephew never want to go outside and just play. She needs to being her Gameboy and he just wants his Leapfrog. It's already started to happen with my generation and will continue to happen in the future that we learn to repeat. We stop analyzing and questioning and just say, "OK." Memorizing information for a test, only doing what we need to do to get an "A" is not helping us. It is a very passive way of educating ourselves.
Memorizing and learning rules only gets us so far. The statistics can only get us so far. "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."
Feeling under the weather :'-(.....but speaking of weather..how bout the Blackberry Storm!
Under the weather is such a silly yet fitting description of how I feel. I'm sick. Go figure right? As soon as I get back from New York I'm feeling horrible. The crazy part is that before I went to New York I was sick (sniffles..coughs..missing voice..typical cold symptoms stuff). I got better in time for New York and felt FANTASTIC the entire 5 days I was there! But of course as soon as I'm boarding the plane in LaGuardia, I feel it. Its as if New York was the medicine I needed and as soon as I left all the symptoms...and worse.. came back. Either that or I just never fully got better.
Well I just wanted to say the while in New York I got to see a really cool promotion from Verizon Wireless. On Thursday, they had one of those glass boxes ( I have no idea what it's actually called) that you step into...and there's' papers circling around you and you try to catch as many as you can. They were creating a 'storm' with that in the middle of Times Square. If you were able to catch 7 of those swirling papers you got a free BlackBerry Storm. Thats crazy to me. The lines were nuts. There was a lot of buzz about the phone because of that event and people got to learn so much information on it as well. I couldn't get a great pic of it but if I know someone who did I'll post as soon as I can.
Interesting..
Billboard statistics..
91% of all people notice billboard advertisements
75% reported that they developed a favorable impression of the company when graphics were used
75% surveyed say truck advertisements affect their buying habits
29% said they would base a buying decision on these impressions.
When Advertising Met Art...
One of my favorite quotes about advertising goes something like, “Advertising is art for someone who doesn’t want to starve.” Granted, I can’t remember exactly how it goes or who even said it, but I like to think that it's a bit true. For a (brief) amount of time I was an Art major...and a bad one. I feel like a lot of others in the advertising industry are artists who just couldn't pass Human Life Drawing. And while some "artist" would scoff at the idea that something so commercial is art, they have obviously never heard the saying "Art is in the eye of the beholder." Or better yet, "Advertising is art of the money holder."
This brings me to why I love advertising. There's something about thinking outside of the box, or outside the building, that blurs the line between art and advertising fabulously.

Six Flags Rolls Out Viral Game to Hype Superman Ride
Just another example of Viral Marketing...
Six Flags Rolls Out Viral Game to Hype Superman Ride
Its Stock Plunging, Theme-Park Chain Turns to Guerrilla Marketing
By Claude Brodesser-Akner
Published: November 13, 2008
LOS ANGELES (AdAge.com) -- Three minutes, 22 seconds.
That's the brief, adrenaline-squirting time span in which riders of Six Flags' "Superman: Ride of Steel" roller coaster get to scream themselves hoarse at 77 miles an hour.
Six Flags, the world's largest theme-park operator, is embracing Hollywood-style guerrilla marketing to relaunch one of its flagship rides, 'Superman: Ride of Steel.'

But by the time a new viral marketing campaign from Six Flags wraps up, executives hope "Steel" riders will have spent several hours hyperventilating over the property -- even before they strap in and drop 221 feet.
Misery at the funplex
Saddled with $2.3 billion in debt, Six Flags has little choice but to get creative (and frugal) with its marketing: An index of amusement-center and theme-park stocks compiled by Revere Research has the sector down 44.8% in the past year. But Six Flags' stock has fallen 87% in the last year, and that's despite third-quarter profit rising 64% to $138 million compared with the year-earlier period and revenue climbing 5% to $489 million.
And so, the world's largest theme-park operator is embracing Hollywood-style guerrilla marketing to relaunch one of its flagship rides: It's deploying a new, wide-ranging ARG, or alternative reality game. Typically used in the service of drumming up fan interest in motion pictures such as Warner's "Dark Knight" and Paramount's "Cloverfield," or in TV shows such as Fox's "Fringe," an ARG is an interactive fusion of creative writing, puzzle-solving, team-building and role-playing.
Industry insiders say the "Ride of Steel" ARG campaign is the work of an old hand at viral marketing of DC Comics characters -- and at running theme parks: Susan Bonds, the head of the Pasadena, Calif.-based 42 Entertainment.
Ms. Bonds did not return calls seeking comment, but insiders say the "Ride of Steel" project is clearly her handiwork: She designed the massive, international ARG for "Dark Knight." And prior to forming 42 Entertainment, she worked for 10 years as creative director and senior show producer for Walt Disney Imagineering, handling the design and development of major attractions, themed architecture, internet entertainment projects and proprietary rides such as the "Indiana Jones Adventure" at Disneyland.
A treat for fans
The overwhelming popularity of those viral marketing tools -- and of the global properties they hyped -- has made ARG an appealing tool even to regional attractions such as Six Flags' New England park. (In the case of "Steel," oblique website ARGs Clawshun Industries and Metropolis Stock Exchange.com already are drawing in coaster and Superman enthusiasts from around the world.)
Of course, whether viral marketing can inoculate Six Flags from the global financial flu very much remains to be seen.
Six Flags is not facing the downturn alone. Reservations are off 10% for Walt Disney theme parks too, both this quarter and next quarter when compared with the year-earlier periods, CEO Bob Iger said during the company's third-quarter earnings call. But while both Disney and Six Flags are offering discounts to hike attendance at their parks, only Six Flags appears to be mitigating those discounts by using a worldwide ARG.
It might be overkill, but CEO Marc Shapiro has little choice but to increase attendance if his company is to survive the downturn. In his own third-quarter conference call with analysts this week, Mr. Shapiro insisted boldly, "We're going to put value on steroids. More hours, more days, longer days, longer season, in every park than ever before."
Going all out
He then added, perhaps alluding to the new ARG, "I'm not going to get into what our specific advertising creative is going to be but ... we're going to be out early in our advertising. We're going to continue to diversify the way we market, really on all platforms and through all vehicles and using all tools, specifically on the digital platform."
Mike Antinoro, Six Flags' exec VP-entertainment marketing, was traveling and unavailable for comment; a spokeswoman for Six Flags, Sandra Daniels, declined to comment on the new ARG.
Total Finale Live
Sunday night, while flipping through channels, I stopped on MTV because I noticed there was a show airing called Total Finale Live. It was the final episode of Total Request Live (okay, so I caught the repeat, but that’s because I was at a group meeting earlier)! The original host of the show, Carson Daily, was there VJ-ing, as well as other VJ’s. Remember Jesse Camp? That guy was nuts. Even though I had no clue TRL aired these past 5 years, it was sad to watch the last show. I feel like MTV was all I watched in middle school and I had to be updated on the countdown, even if there were just slight changes to it: Britney and Christina competing for the number one spot. On the finale, they counted down the top 10 videos that defined TRL:
10. Outcast - Hey Ya
9. Blink-182 - What's My Age Again
8. Usher ft. Ludacris and Lil Jon -Yeah!
7. Beyonce ft. Jay-Z - Crazy In Love
6. Kid Rock - Bawitdaba
5. Christina Aguilera - Dirrty
4. N*Sync - Bye Bye Bye
3. Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way (They actually performed..without Kevin though. Maybe he felt too old? I mean, it wasn't a secret.)
2. Eminem -The Real Slim Shady
1. Britney Spears - Hit Me Baby (She was named the Queen of TRL)
TRL was a platform for artists to promote their material. It launched the careers of so many people! What an impact it had on pop culture!

Things Are Fine
I just came across this website & ad campaign that focused on encouraging people to vote. I know the election has already passed, but these print ads are worth looking at. They are eye-catching... and they even made me check out the website!
The website is thingsarefine.org
I'm always one step ahead. . . Like a carpenter. . . that builds stairs.
25 seconds ago, Tallahassee, Fl
Tony Luciano,20, completed a crucial step in his self action plan or Sap (tastes like syrup). He has just purchased the domain name for his blog/personal site/creative platform, Imonsoon.net. He really wanted .com, but some opportunist(idiot) squated on the site (squished the dream out it). Therefore the net it is. For 12.99yr Antonio has committed himself financially to the idea that he can be world famous.
News from California
So I was just talking to my niece out in California, she goes to school in San Fransisco and she was just telling me her story about meeting the guy who is going to play Edward Cullen (the leading man in the Twilight series). I recently got caught up in the book craze, I'm not sure if I intend on seeing the movie but it is still pretty exhilarating. I'm trying to coax her into sending me pictures, but I'm the embarrassingly cool aunt who doesn't get pictures. If I get them I'll share them with you!!
My weekend
I hope everyone's weekend was good. Homecoming is always a fun time. I went camping at St. Joseph Peninsula with a few friends. Its only about 2 1/2 hours away so its not that far. We hiked in 2 miles and stayed near the beach our first night then hiked a little further in and stayed further off the beach out second night. I love camping so this was a really relaxing weekend for me. I wish everyone could get a chance to get outdoors and experience it! We were the only ones on the peninsula so it was really awesome to know that. Saw a few deer wandering about and we hiked the whole 8 miles to the tip of the peninsula our second day. What a beautiful place! its only 4$ a day per person and you can rent gear from the FSU res if you ever want to get out and about! Here are a few pictures.

What's in a name?
As many of you know, my name gets mis-pronounced all the time. I've had to deal with it and correct people ever since I was a young lass. I understand it is confusing so I try to work with people and help them out! : ) The thing that bothers me, however, is when people say to me, "Ughh, why does it matter? 'ANN-drea' is the same as 'On-dri-ah', just get over it".
Seriously?!? This got me thinking about the importance of names. I personally love my name, and get frustrated when people mispronounce it. It's unique, I've never met anyone else who pronounces it the same way I do. (That is, of course, besides Andrea from 90210). I've never been a person who likes kids that much and one of my apprehensions about even the thought of children is the name decision. I'm sure this seems silly to some of you, but think about it...the name you chose for a children will stick with them for the rest of their lives. That is the association people will have with your offspring. You don't want to pick a super common name, yet you don't want to pick a name too out there or the child will spend the rest of their live correcting people. Talk about pressure!
The thing that puzzles me about my name is this...I understand when it is written it looks like "Ann-drea". However, when I meet people for the first time and verbally tell them what my name is, what is the excuse for the mispronouncing? Maybe I'm being too hard on people but I don't think my name and the traditional Andrea sound alike at all. "Ann-drea" has a very harsh sound associated with it and I personally dislike that.
Maybe I'm making a huge deal out of nothing but listen to me when I say it STINKS having to correct people your entire life...especially when you actually enjoy your name! The next time someone asks you, "What's in a name" the answer should be this...A LOT!

The screen moves in front of me and I see...
Movies are pretty important to me. Not just because I'm a film minor. They're important because they say a lot about life. To me they are the highest form of art (When done for art's sake instead of entertainment.)with the combination of sound, motion, and visuals. It's incredible to me every day I log into IMDB and look through the movies that have been made and are being made to see the progression of the art form. From King Kong to Lord of the Rings we've come a long way (Though in my opinion King Kong has aged very well considering it was made over 70 years ago.) So I decided I would create a short list of some great movies that you've probably never seen. They either didn't get a lot of press due to being overshadowed by a blockbuster, being independent releases, or being older than most college students will watch, but they're all great movies. Some can be considered art, but for the most part I'm just sticking with entertainment here.
1. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
This is probably my favorite movie. It's incredible. In his 4th film Wes Anderson follows the
story of a down and out oceanographer (Modeled after Jocque Cousteau)out to avenge the death of his closest friend Esteban. The killer: A Jaguar Shark. Soon Zissou's son (Maybe) and a journalist join the crew as they search for the Jaguar shark that killed Esteban and we watch as Steve rides out his midlife crisis. This movie is visually stunning with claymation special effects for the sea creatures and incredible cinematography. Easily one of the funniest movies on the list, but also the saddest.
2. Death to Smoochy
I don't understand how more people have not seen this movie. This is my favorite comedy of all time. Danny DeVito brings us a story of corruption in children's television. In the staring slots are Robin Williams as Rainbow Randolf a crazy children's T.V. show host who loses his show and Edward Norton as the soy dog eating Sheldon Mopes who is Smoochy the Rhino (A drastic change from his two previous roles in Fight Club and American History X.) who Randolf frames as a Nazi. This is one of the best dark comedy I've ever seen and has some great one liners.
3. The Abominable Dr. Phibes
I can't have a list without one of my favorite actors of all time Vincent Price. Most of you may know him as the guy who did the spoken word part in Thriller. In this film Price stars as Dr. Phibes renowned doctor, scientist, organist, and biblical scholar who survived an accident which claimed the life of his wife. Now Phibes is extracting his revenge on those he deems responsible for his wife's death. His preferred method of murder? Nine Biblical plagues from the Old Testament.
4. Magnolia
This is the movie that made me respect Tom Cruise as an actor. It has an all star cast: Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tom Cruise, William H Macy, John C Reily, and Alfred Molina. Magnolia is a tapestry of intertwining stories including a child game show prodigy, a former child game show prodigy, a loser cop, a gold-digger and her dying husband, a male nurse, a dating guru, and a aging game show host. A great film by P.T. Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Punch Drunk Love, and Boogie Nights).
5. Planet of the Apes
Sure there's a remake, but do yourself a favor and skip it. This is Charlton Heston in an incredible performance in one of the most important Sci-Fi movies pre-Star-Wars. The idea is incredible especially given the time (1968) taking a middle-aged white man and making him a minority. Give it a chance and be ready for that classic line: "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"
6. Vanilla Sky
What?! Another Tom Cruise movie? Yes, and it's another winner. Vanilla Sky is based on the Spanish film Abre Los Ojos. The other connection between the two films? The beautiful Penelope Cruz. Vanilla Sky follows the life of a millionaire who is forced to choose between two women (Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz...poor guy.) and after making the choice suffers its consequences. I love the use of music and keep an ear open for The Beach Boys' Good Vibrations. One of my favorite uses of music in any movie.
7. Night of the Living Dead (The Original) and Dawn of the Dead (The Original)
Do you like horror movies? How about zombies? What about social commentary? Well then these movies are just the ticket. Two of the greatest horror movies ever by George A. Romero. Avoid Romero's latest attempts and check these two out if you want to see truly great zombie movies. Night follows a group of survivors who struggle to survive in a secluded farm house and find that their greatest enemy is themselves. Meanwhile in Dawn a group of survivors hole up in a mall (The movie was shot when malls were rare with only a few in America) and attempt stay sane while living in a consumer paradise. If you need any extra incentive, there's actually a pie fight between zombies and a group of bikers...I'm not making this up.
8. The Last Waltz
This is the only documentary on the list, but it's one of the movies I've seen the most and my favorite documentary. A documentary of The Band's last performance featuring performances by Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Joni Mitchel, Van Morrison, Evangeline Lilly, Ron Wood, Ringo Star, and Bob Dylan. You may have also heard of the director, he goes by the name Martin Scorsese. The concert was actually performed on Thanksgiving day and those who went were treated to a full meal before having some of the biggest names in music performing on the stage together.
9. Once Upon a Time in the West
I'm going to say this once and for all: Once Upon a Time in the West is the best western ever. There I said it. Now with that said I must acknowledge that there are dozens of other great westerns out there, but this one really does take the cake. Sergio Leone truly pushed himself to new heights with this nearly 3 hour epic. Married perfectly with a score by Ennio Morricone Sergio tops his most acclaimed film The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly on all fronts. The performances from Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson really shine and Sergio is able to actually shoot in America for the first time giving an even more authentic feel to the rugged west landscape.
10. Almost Famous
Another Cameron Crow movie. Yep, he's a good director and no not in a Jerry Maguire kind of way. Almost Famous follows William Miller as he follows his dream of becoming a music critic and gets to tour with Stillwater. The journey gets more than a little complicated when William breaks the number one rule set down for him by legendary music critic Lester Bangs: Don't make friends with the rock stars. This is probably one of the most authentic movies I've seen dealing with this time period pulling from inspiration such as The Allman Brothers Band, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Cameron Crow's own time writing for Rolling Stone magazine as a teen.
Honorable Mentions:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
King Kong (The Original)
The World's Fastest Indian

Bloggity Blog Blog
So, working with my team has been fun. I will say, using the six hat method has been with keeping my group on track and helping us verbalize what we cannot seem to describe to each other. We've figured out that we are all on the same general track with our overall concept and theme for the project. In English, the process of just allowing thought to flow is called free writing and is just taking ten minutes, for example, and just scribbling anything that comes to mind based on a word or topic. This is very similar to what we did, though we stuck to phrases and free writing is typically in paragraph form.
For any creative endeavour you attempt, professors strongly encourage free writing when you hit a wall. You never know what kind of insight you could gain by looking at what you've jumbled out. In my creative writing poetry class (which I recommend for anyone who intends to do any kind of copyrighting*) we would have to switch up how we approached any given subject by changing how we thought about it. For example, we had to write a poem that was based on a sense that was not sight. I chose smell, not surprisingly, and wrote about my nonna, grandma, and it was my best poem of the semester. It was interesting and a challenge to describe someone without writing about how they look, but it was also interesting to learn how to interpret someone other than how they look. Nothing against Dickens, but I would be more interested in a novel which never gave a single visual description and see how differently I understood the characters from someone else.
The point is, I liked the six-hat method and I found many similarities between that and my creative writing classes. As a result, I will attempt to explain it to as many people as I can and sing its praises to all who will listen.
*This is a great class, specifically poetry because other than short story, etc., it teaches you to write what you are trying to convey very concisely. For anyone who has ever had to analyse a poem every word in a poem is relevant and affects the overall connotation and tone of the poem. Advertising depends on word choice in creating tone and has to be simple enough to be easily remembered. (My biggest problem when taking the class was the professor kept saying I wrote like I was writing an ad).
Viva La Vida
The first time I heard a Coldplay song I was in eighth grade. The song of course was Yellow, their first popular song. Yellow became a huge hit and since then Coldplay has been my favorite band. X & Y was amazing and when the CD came out I searched for concert tickets to see Coldplay, but they were too expensive or the concert was too far away. After the success of X & Y Coldplay sort of disappeared and no one was sure when they would return with another brilliant CD. Finally, Coldplay released Viva La Vida. This CD is different from Coldplay's past music and in my opinion is by far their best CD yet. Thankfully, I was able to get tickets to see Coldplay in Orlando on November 7th, 2008. All I can say, is that after going to the concert I am so glad that I wasn't able to get tickets to the X & Y tour. Every song I could have hoped for them to play from past albums they did play and songs from Viva La Vida made the experience perfect. I never knew I could have such an amazing time at a concert, but at the end I was sweating as much as the band members were from jumping up and down, dancing and singing along. This experience will definitely stick with me for a long time. I was in a daze as I walked out of the concert with my sister and there is no way I can explain in words how amazing this concert truly was.
