Today there was one more “Get a Mac” ad added to the line up, “Off The Air”. Just like the others… very funny. You can watch below or click here for a high resolution file from Apple.

Telly Award

Good news on the work front. This year I received 2 Telly Awards for commercials that I produced and created. I teamed up with my friend and business partner, Paul Williams, to create so fun and eye catching television ads. With both of these spots we did it our way with minimal input from the clients. We told them to trust us to do our job right… and as expected the clients pushed back. Both of these clients thought that it was out of their comfort level for advertising. But in the end we won and were able to create the spots our way on both accounts. Memo to potential clients… Leave the advertising and marketing up to the professionals. You just might get an award winning spot!

Here is the Folsom Chevrolet “Shop Naked” spot.
