VCLEVER BLOG
We’re proud to announce that Robservations.ca was officially unveiled today.
Robservations is the blog of Robert Booth, a digital media strategist who heads up internet media planning and buying at BOS – an award-winning Canadian ad agency. Robservations is his new personal platform for asides, irreverent (r)observations and occasional serious views on digital media. And he can certainly be considered an authority on all things digital, having been a judge at the Canadian Marketing and Digital Marketing Awards, as well as the recipient of numerous innovation awards himself.
We’ve been very willing co-conspirators on robservations, helping to put the concept together and designing the look and workings of the blog – a mix of new media with the more traditional elements of paper, pen and post-its.
WordPress – our content management platform of choice for blogging – is the engine behind the site. We designed a bespoke template, which gives this blog a unique look and, just as importantly, makes the site very easy to read and get around.
Check it out at www.robservations.ca and as always, we’d love to know what you think.

These are the sort of things I love on the web. These 2 sites are completely unrelated, but have one thing in common – they’re seriously useful and user-friendly. Oh, that’s two things.
Highrise

I’m thinking about having a worst ad/best ad post every week.
But for now, this is just a pure worst ad, or should I say, multiple worst ads.
A friend told me about this page and it took me a long time to decide whether it was real or a brilliant spoof. Sadly it’s the former (but there’s still part of me that can’t believe it can be).
Check out the gratuitous (and surely unintended) innuendo from such products as The Spilldaddy, The Bender Ball (pictured) and The Floppy. But best of all has to be the ShakeWeight – please, please watch this video. It’s like a lesson in viral marketing but for all the wrong reasons!

I did a bit of a double-take when I saw this one on TV during the world cup semis.
Ignore Forlan, it’s the ad behind him that made me laugh. Great advice, presumably from the South African government: “Arrive Alive”. Well, I usually try to thanks. Sadly, it’s not really in your hands in South Africa – they may as well use the strapline “try not to get shot”. Click on the image to see it full-size.

Just kidding – it is about a t-shirt competition though!
Freelancer.com is holding a design-a-t-shirt competition and we thought we’d enter for a chance to win a few quid, but more importantly to win a ‘master designer’ title and generally showcase our design skills.
We love it (if we do say so ourselves!!) and we’ll be very upset if we don’t have this in the bag!
