    Seems everyone is talking banks at the moment … not necessarily in the positive  point-of-view. Our back pockets seem to be constantly being stretched to the limit, whilst our banking friends reap the rewards. However, the ever-enterprising world of advertising can at least take a humorous viewpoint and we can have a laugh. Have a…

    The last episode of this series’ Gruen Transfer announced the official winner of the Polished Turd award last night.

    Think just for a second about an ad that is memorable to you. You know the one, the ad with the catchphrase that immediately comes to mind, that always springs up and even gets used in general conversation.

    Developing a campaign that will be as successful online as it is offline is not always an easy thing to do, especially if you are selling car insurance! It can seem quite dry and boring!

    Last night’s Gruen Nation (the only good thing about the federal election if you ask me!) reminded us of the excellent political advertising that came from Argentine Lopez  Murphy a few years ago.
