Good luck!...hope you can find one...

I was having my regular favorite burger (Bronte) at this Aussie place called Ruby's on Mulberry Street in Soho. The owner recommended this beer, also mentioning that his friend from Australia was exporting it to US. It was so light, refreshing and delicious. I didn't know they already put posters all over the place. I understand that Lucky Beer is a naturally brewed Australian Beer that’s growing in popularity. It could be the taste, or it could be the design of the bottle made out of Buddha’s head. I called the distributor and asked where I could find them. Only two places in NY for now. One is whole-Foods in Chelsea, the other is 2nd street and 2nd avenue...It's expensive though. But it's worth tasting...

The Eye-Opener

As per my request, a friend of mine brought me this wonderful eye-opener from Turkey a week ago. It is one of the oldest, and maybe the first, turkish coffee brand in Turkey. Recently, you can find some other brands, but, this one is the real deal. Generally, I am not the kind of person who order stuff from friends traveling overseas, but this time, I was craving for this special coffee's taste and smell so badly that I couldn't help but give the order. The thing is that it's not a packaged product, it's freshly grinded and immediately wrapped with this special paper. My point is that the packaged turkish coffee somehow gives me this anxiety attack and unnecessarily fast heat-beats, but this one is so smooth that it just moves you. I remember one day, me and my wife had this turkish coffee and then painted the whole apartment in couple of hours. It's that good. If you want to taste it, you are very welcome. I'd be happy to make one for you! For more info visit the site.

World's first vacuum decanter!

Metrokane was one of my clients. It designs and manufactures not only houseware products but also wine accessories. One of its recent innovation is this cute little vacuum decanter. As it speaks for itself, it's a decanter that preserves your wine for a long time without pouring back your precious wine back into its bottle. And it simply does it through air pressure into decanter. I have been working with Metrokane for some time and a while ago, I have executive produced a demo video you see below. Hope you like the video and the product.

I loved this!

I came across with this Greenpeace ad couple of monts ago at the webpage of JWT, which is one of the biggest, if not the most creative, ad agencies in the world. I was doing my regural check-up to see what's new, not because I use to be working at JWT-Istanbul office, but to catch up with the industry. I do this quick research with some other agencies producing great creative work. This billboard ad was created by JWT-Manila office and the copy reads: Recycle paper. Save Trees. Greenpeace. As far as I'm concerned, this is not only a great piece of communication, but also art. It's on strategy, it's relevant, it's intelligent, visually original and abruptive, minimal copy. In short, a great example of how a great ad should be. For those who are interested, here the web address: http://www.jwt.com/
