A mag made in 48 hrs



That's what 48 Hrs is... "Welcome to 48 Hour Magazine, a raucous experiment in using new tools to erase media's old limits. As the name suggests, we're going to write, photograph, illustrate, design, edit, and ship a magazine in two days - Here's how it works: Issue Zero begins May 7th. We'll unveil a theme and you'll have 24 hours to produce and submit your work. We'll take the next 24 to snip, mash and gild it. The end results will be a shiny website and a beautiful glossy paper magazine, delivered right to your old-fashioned mailbox. We promise it will be insane. Better yet, it might even work."

Bravo. Get involved here

Two media owner campaigns

Don't usually like talking ads on here, but here are two different ways of promoting a medium that caught our eye...

First up it's CBS outdoor with these straight up but beautifully written long copy ads for the tube. Not sure who wrote them, but hats off.







Next up is this mysterious piece from Posterscope. I'd seen these about for months and never bothered to check it out.





When I searched for it it took me here

All well and good but I'm none the wiser until I check out these blogs here and here

I'm not writing any more about it - read the blogs I linked to... but this is the blurb from Posterscope: "When you see an Out-of-Home ad and then follow it up online, you’re Oohgling. Out-of-Home advertising is great at creating interest and intrigue and that’s often followed up with an on-line search to find out more."

Guess we'll see more and more of this kind of stuff as traditional media owners have to prove why they should be in the mix.
