Ok, so I was planning on giving you 12 days of Xmas advertising. But what I found from the Big Brands, as clever as they are with graphic design, just doesn’t measure up to the magic of the previously featured pieces posted here in December. This cuckoo clock for Portland Tourism does. It looks like a giant gingerbread house on acid, with the irresistible quirkiness of the TV show, Portlandia, that both celebrates and mocks this hip Northwest city. So here we are on the 3rd day of Xmas, and with true love I give to you, my fellow Poets, another piece of the dream… from Weiden + Kennedy (who else but, as the agency and its “nest” was featured in Episode 4 of Portlandia). See story in AdFreak.
