Happy Birthday Little Duckies!


It would take my mom to remind me of something like this. I've been so busy I hadn't even thought about it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE RUBBER DUCKY REBELLION!


I have been blogging for a year today! I can't wait to see what the next year of my adult life brings. I can tell that some exciting things are on the horizon for my second year and I can't wait to share with you what the next year brings!

Until next time... just keep swimming!

For Example





You know those Cannes Lions I was talking about? Here are some Gold Lion Winners. I was going to talk about my favorite ones but I just couldn't pick! However definitely don't miss:

-H2Oh!, "Braids"
-Volkswagen, "The Force" (I still smile everytime I see this one)
-Heiniken, "The Entrance"
-Google Chrome, "Speed Tests" (the potato one is blow-your-mind cool)
-Scope, "See The Person"

Ok, now you get my problem about picking favorites?? But seriously watch them all. They do not disappoint.

Inspiring

The Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.

If you are in advertising I really don't have to say more.

[However, for my other followers allow me to explain. This festival awards the best in the advertising business with the coveted Lion award and it is one of the largest gatherings of industry professionals held every year.]

I would love to go to this festival pas seulement parce que je parle francais et j'adore tous les chose francais but also to witness first-hand the best advertising made... and bump shoulders with the people responsible for creating that work. Which is why when I heard of this idea I was green with envy.

This is such an awesome endeavor- the kind that makes you jealous that you didn't think of it yourself. And it's no wonder that such creativity came out of DDB Paris.

Check out how these creatives are planning to make it to the Cannes Lions and follow their journey:
