By Angie Dean on December 3, 2012

KesselKramer is an agency in Los Angeles, London and Amsterdam whose motto is ‘advertising for people who don’t like advertising.’ Such persons (can there really be any?) may be amused by this shop in East London (England) that turns into a Red Stripe orchestra.

The city of Los Angeles is suing Beverley Hills poster company SkyTag for ‘millions of dollars’ in the latest round of its battle to rid the city of huge ‘supergraphic’ posters which it claims are both dangerous (to office inhabitants and drivers) and illegal.

WPP’s Maxus bids for the big league with new offices in Los Angeles, Toronto and Mexico City

By Stephen Foster on September 14, 2011

WPP media buyer Maxus was originally promoted as a ‘conflict shop’, somewhere for clients to go who couldn’t be fitted in to existing WPP media agencies MediaCom, Mindshare and MEC.

US Airforce predicts disaster in new campaign set in downtown LA

By Angie Dean on July 5, 2011

Well you can’t imagine the dear old Royal Air Force (now reduced to two Tiger Moths and a plane to carry Prince William around) doing this, can you?

Wieden+Kennedy’s ‘imported from Detroit’ Chrysler campaign rolls into LA with Dr Dre

By Staff on April 25, 2011

Wieden+Kennedy’s Chrysler 200 Super Bowl ad with Eminem won many of the plaudits in that particular adfest and now agency and client are following the same route for the revamped Chrysler 300.
