Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at 06:45PM This is nice work... it's tasteful, well designed and elegantly simple. It's Newt Gingrich's new ad and it's all words and music. Not one spoken word. Well done.
A quick reminder friends, this is a political blog, it focuses on creativity, production and execution.

Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at 03:31PM An ad is causing waves in Canada, waves the Saudi governement hopes to quiet, according to yesterday's NY Times. The story says that "after receiving a threat of legal action from a lawyer representing the Saudis" the network, "Canada's largest private broadcaster, CTV, has refused to show a television commercial produced by the Ethical Oil Institute, an oil sands advocacy group."
Here's the ad.
Alas I find no reaction or statement in the press from the Saudi government to explain their position.
This effort to brand oil sands oil as 'ethical oil' does not address the significant environmental toll that will be incurred by this region of Canada from the oil extraction process.
We'll keep en eye on the story as it develops.
