Jan 25, 2012
 Ben Smith is an Associate Creative Director at R/GA New York. Ben is the joint creative lead on the MasterCard international account along with fellow Aussie ex-pat Paul Dery and reports to CCO Nick Law.The winner for me is Nike KobeSystem. It's a big, ridiculous idea. I love the funny self-help guru gobbledygook writing. It's a cool way to sell a shoe and doesn't really feel like an ad. And I like the famous people endorsing a basketball shoe that have nothing to do with the sport. I saw the teasers the other day and they're even better. read more Light up the party
