Yahoo!’s ‘Anthem’ Ad is Simply Exceptional
Oh My God! The OMG abbreviation just doesn’t express enough. Yahoo!’s new $100 million advertising campaign is off with a big bang. The ‘Anthem’ TV commercial is aspirational, global and human.

Simply Great MSN.ca Ad
One of my favorite blogs is the Canadian Design Resource. I’m a sucker for good design, and I am pseudo Canadian. It’s one of the few blogs I really look forward to finding updates in my RSS feeds. Today, a post for MSN Canada caught my attention.
