Yaris, it’s a CAR! is the bril­liant new cam­paign star­ring Michael Showal­ter, doing what he does best: wear a suit and say funny things. This is a light­hearted, state-the-obvious cam­paign that really works. No per­for­mance shots on a Euro­pean road, …

The Last Exor­cism com­bined the ran­dom chance meet­ings and real-life inter­ac­tiv­ity of Cha­troulette with the expo­sure of YouTube to cre­ate some great pub­lic­ity for the new film. This is sim­i­lar to the way Para­nor­mal Activ­ity cre­ated tv spots con­sist­ing almost …
