shots cutting-edge advertising and creativity worldwide

04 July 2002

Working on a pan-European account and can't be arsed to research your multinational target audience? Are your agency's in-house cool-hunters proving elusive? Again? As with all the best modern self-help initiatives, the answer comes in a pocket-size.
The Little Book Of Cool aims to offer an idiot's guide to how UK trends end up in the translation. The book is a clever marketing gimmick for Mother Tongue, professional copy-adapters. Packed with enigmatic assertions of Universal Truth such as "Sweden: Brands are not important"; or "Slovenia: Pizza is the coolest thing to eat". The book also reveals that Poles have a penchant for saying Up Your Arse; and includes the truly astonishing insight that Czechs have a passion for "Spending time in bed - sleeping and having sex." Prepare to be dazzled.

DKPM - Little book of cool

Tuesday, 18 March 2008

I found this guide to global “yoof” culture and thought it was cool!

The Little Book of Cool 2 (what do you mean you didn’t know there was a book No 1) is a curious, hilarious, shocking, fascinating and down right you’ve got to be kidding collection of what the “yoof’ around the world think is cool. So for all you who thought that global youth had become a horrible, predictable, homogenous mass – think again!!!!!

Ads that Travel...

In this age of Web 2.0, user-generated content and "bottom-up creativity", those who make the case for centralised global advertising often seem to be swimming against the tide.

Let creative ides blossom from Mumbai to Manhattan...

Campaign - 28 Nov 2008

We'll stick with the minestrone, thanks...

Diary was thrilled to get a packet of soup in the post this week... a bit tangy for Diary's taste, although some sections of Adland may disagree.

The soup was actually a canny piece of direct marketing from the marketing interpreter Mother Tongue.
