New work: Dodge Durango

A few weeks ago we went down to an abandoned racetrack in Macon, GA and made an avalanche of commercials for the new Dodge Durango. Stacy Wall directed, Biff Butler edited, and Michael C. Hall did the VO. Great writing & art direction from amazing WK creatives Caleb Jensen, Bertrand Fleuret, Greg Rutter, Michael Illick and Mike Egan. Proud to have worked with this talented crew. Oh and my partners Joe Staples and Aaron Allen, those guys too.

Google unveils the first ad for its Groupon killer.

After being rebuffed by Groupon, Google has decided to launch their own group buying service. And it's going to be huge. The service leverages AdWords, making it really easy for current customers to offer local group buying deals easily and quickly. Then it'll serve them up to us contextually in our email and browsers. So when someone emails you about eating at an Indian place that night, you might just be able to get a discount right there in Gmail. Insanity.

As for the ad; it's catchy, and it looks to be the work of HunterGatherer. Fun stuff.
