If we were to award a Campaign of the Year gong ‘France is in the air’ for Air France from BETC Paris would be a strong contender. Packed full of ‘ooh-la-la’ it gives Air France a point of difference – you can’t imagine this getting by alpha males like BA’s Willie Walsh or Ryanair’s Michael.

I keep ruminating over this film for Johnnie Walker the way one might ponder a glass of scotch itself. It’s that good, completely deserving of Adweek’s hyperbolic praise. Maybe it’s even better than the Cannes winning “Keep Walking” film done a few years ago by advertising giant, BBH London -attached below. Pitting the two is perhaps insulting to both.

We began the year with Yours Truly apologizing for my myopic take on Facebook, followed by much crowing about my prescient take on Facebook: What I didn’t foresee is Facebook becoming the generic virtual space for keeping up with friends from high school, college, work through the decades, etc. These aren’t friends you necessarily hang out with now – and Facebook was originally a ‘here and now’ place for college kids.

Even though this blog is ostensibly about advertising, I am ambivalent about critiquing ad campaigns. Especially in a negative manner. It’s easy to find bad work. And smashing low hanging fruit is a sure fire way to get readers and comments. Yet, I am always leery of doing so. Truth be told I think most criticism is folly. Let me tell you a story.

The FTC just released their endorsed Enforcement Policy Statement on Deceptively Formatted Advertisements and business guidance on Native Advertising. So if you thought you sensed a disturbance in the Force, then the Force is indeed strong with you. A long time ago, in a conference room far, far away, the FTC held a workshop on Native Advertising with a promise that some form of industry guidance would follow.

License to kill joy? In my last post post I talked about criticism –be it of films, books or advertising- as a flawed construct. And while I’m now going to critique a new movie I will still try and frame the discussion objectively. My topic is the new James Bond flick, Spectre , which I saw a couple weeks ago. In short, I found it lacking. Good looking, the movie was guilty of something no Bond film should ever be: dullness.

A couple of years ago it felt like we were blogging about developments in cases involving “up to” claims up to 3x more often than just about any other topic. To summarize the upheaval, for many years there were cases allowing an up to claim if an “appreciable number” of consumers could enjoy the claimed maximum benefits. There are also state and local pricing laws requiring for sales claims that 10-15% of the sale goods be available at the highest advertised discount.
