A successful Movember at Y&R Dubai

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer.

Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men.

When Facebook says "You have too many friends"

 

Be careful out there. When you hit more than 5,001 friends, you’ll need to commit Facebook murder.

So exactly how many friends do you need? A very interesting article from the New York Times.

CNN Tape Art Project

 

CNN’s new slogan: Go Beyond Borders, was recently unveiled through an awesome ambient idea.

In celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, CNN, along with Heimat Berlin and tape artist El Bocho, took 40km of Go Beyond Borders tape and stretched it through the entire boundary of what was East and West Germany back then.

The Honest Approach

Domino’s in the US thinks honesty pays. Personally, I think it draws attention to 50 years of supplying an inferior product.

What do you think?

Be water my friend


I think Bruce was one of the coolest guys that ever existed.
That would be enough to have this video posted, but I also believe what his says has a lot to do with advertising.
