To say that we specialize in beating "impossible" deadlines is maybe an overstatement. But, we are v-e-r-y good at it.

We're the only San Diego Ad Agency that stakes their claim on this positioning.

What does the Army Corps of Engineers (Seabees") during WWII say??...the difficult we do immediately. The impossible takes a little longer.Yeah! Like that!

We're a 22-year old San Diego Ad Agency with a Brainstorm of our own. We'll Brainstorm with you for 90-minutes for Free on any (business) topic you choose.

It's that simple. No strings attached.

You get 3 Brains for your Brainstorming session. 3 Brains with over 50 years of professional Brainstorming successes.

Here's how it works...

We'll arrange a video conference call between your brain & 3 of our Brains. The Video component adds a vital aspect to the process...which also includes a Whiteboard that we can all see all the time to record all the ideas that will be flying around.

Exciting stuff...right??

Brainstorming with a Twist..

As a 22-year-old San Diego ad agency, we've seen, and survived, many ebbs & flows in the economy. We were almost taken out after 9/11. We had all the worst working...being an ad agency when advertising was being deleted; living in San Diego where the COL already made running a business here a challenge and having a significent number of resort hotel clients when travel was simply stopped completely. Triple ouch!

But we've never experienced anything like this current financial landscape. Ugh! Yet, through it all we've survived in San Diego still operating as a successful ad agency.

OK, OK, I'm a giant nerd. But these are funny.

There's been a lot of talk about TV ads over the last few weeks. I think there was some kind of popular sporting event where people like watching the ads. I did watch some of the Super Bowl ads, but nothing really struck me as all that interesting. The Sobe lizard ads have never been even remotely compelling to me...quite the opposite, my insticnt is to run for it. The entire series is just jagged and jarring, with zero flow or composition. The follow-up ads have been worse than that horrifying mashup of 3D that was on for the game.

I like the "tiny cowboys" spot for Jack in the Box, but the "hangintherejack.com" spots are just obnoxious. Trying to go a little too far with it, I think.

One spot that's been running for a while is the "two shampoos" spot for hotels.com. I thought it was the one really disruptive spot out of a series...they've been able to run it quite a lot without it losing it's appeal, so good job there.

A user posted screenshots at Gamepolitics.com showing a billboard in the game Burnout Paradise featuring Barack Obama on a virtual billboard. Apparently this is causing quite a stir. I personally feel there should be regular and available ad real estate in games. It can be designed in such a way as to not take away from the experience of gaming while giving valuable 18-34 eyeballs to advertisers. It may even make the game MORE realistic! We see ads everywhere else, why not our games? I realize this has been done to some extent already, but in a networked world I don't see why you couldn't change ads with the frequency of a billboard, at least. Increased revenue for advertisers means increased revenue for game developers means cheaper, better games more rapidly available for gamers.
