Sure, we've seen stuff like it before, but the complete lack of response from the girl's teacher and classmates made for a genuinely chilling moment. BEST PRINT How do self-respecting creatives get themselves excited about a campaign that promotes crowd-sourcing? Check out this ad for Doritos. It manages to cleverly convince its audience that this is a contest they could actually win. Still, I would challenge any of those submissions to be half as good as this ad. BEST OUTDOOR Blackcaps vs. Australia. This is clearly an insider campaign. I confess to not completely understanding or appreciating all the jokes. Yet it's easy to see that this is a sharp idea with plenty of legs. This week's guest judge is Ari Merkin, chief creative officer, Toy New York. In 1993, Ari began his career as a copywriter, working for advertising legends Roy Grace and Diane Rothschild. Five years later, he moved to Crispin Porter + Bogusky in Miami, where he was a part of many of the agency's great success stories, including the launch of the MINI, the Truth 'Body Bag' campaign, and the Grand Prix winning IKEA 'Lamp' spot. In 2003, he became ECD of Fallon New York, where he met his partners, Anne and David. Together, they delivered record-breaking sales years for clients like Starbucks, Brawny and Virgin Mobile, and led the mere 35-person shop to become one of the top 10 most awarded agencies in the world. Ari has been seen on many creative 'Top Ten' lists, was named to the AAF's Hall of Achievement in 2009, and was one of Ad Age's '40 Under 40'. His work has won 'Best of Show' honors from The One Show, Cannes, Clio and the Effies. Ari may well be the only creative ever to win 13 One Show Pencils in a single year. He is currently a member of The One Club Board of Directors. Ari sees advertising as a business of understanding human beings. In fact, he and his wife, Roneet, have produced four of their own. He's proud to say it's his best work to date. Google and Youtube selected among thousands of Youtube partners a select few with varied visual style and followers to help in creating an online ad campaign to launch the Google's new phone, the Nexus One.
