Best Video I’ve seen in a while. What are your thoughts? Good, Bad, Does he make you want a $4 business card that doesn’t fit in a rolodex?

Word on the street Terry Richardson is doin’ work on the new Belvedere Vodka campaign. A few samples are above. One of the best aspects is how even for such a large scale campaign spanning print, web and TV Terry is able to keep shit legit carrying over his artistic style of in you face photography and meshing it into a more commercial form of photography. Terry mentioned “They really allowed me to put my own spin on the campaign.” For more information on Terry or the campaign check the Belvedere site and look in Discover Luxury Reborn where they have a dedicated section for Terry Richardson, Vincent Gallo and RZA.

The April issue of the beloved culture magazine Vice has done an interesting advertising campaign with BMW Canada. The campaign is for the BMW 1 Series and this campaign mimics the strategy of the 1 series… “short, intense experiences” . In the light the cover featuring Sasha Grey looks like a regular cover, but when the lights go out… a car can be seen glowing.

At first you wouldn’t really think BMW would want to share the cover with a porn star, but they are and its not deterring me from buying a BMW. It also may not be expected that targeting readers of Vice is a wise choice because they don’t seem to be their target demographic, but they create buzz and in a few years will be the ones buying  the BMWs.

I LOVE THE ORIGINALITY!
