Mini Ads for Minibreaks with Big Results
In an age of gross maximalism, advertising agency DLKW Lowe reminds us that less really is more.

A+ for a creative and cost effective campaign utilizing social media to do all the hard work.

News Flash: The Topic of Sports Doesn’t Have to Smell of Sweat and Beer
Finally something for the sports intellectual in your family. Time.com, Time magazine’s companion website, kicks off March Madness with its first sports blog, Keeping Score. Unlike other online sports destinations and in true Time style, Keeping Score won’t smell of buffalo wings and beer or yell at the TV unexpectedly, rather Keeping Score will highlight sports around the world, their cultural, economic and political impact. With any luck, this fresh approach to the discussion of sports could actually win over a few new fans and expand the scope of the topic beyond scores and who fumbled what.
Check out Keeping Score here.
