Disclaimer: I am not a canine fan. I do own a Volkswagen. I do not own a Woofwagen. Okay, so… dew things go together as well as Volkswagens and dog-lovers. Well, it finally seems that Volkswagen has picked up on this social trend: for their new ad campaign in the UK, the German automaker […]
Heineken, the world’s third-biggest brewer, is taking a leaf from Nespresso owner Nestle’s book with the Sub, a beer-making machine for drinkers who want a freshly pulled pint at home.

Doh! Reese’s is about to get some sweet new competition from Bart Simpson-backed Butterfinger.

Coldwell Banker has launched a new film festival centered on the idea of “home” and what it means to people. The real estate giant plans to solicit short films from around the world and is offering a $25,000 grand prize to the top rated video. So far, the competition has already received entries from India, […]
Marketers know that you need a certain amount of masculine cache as a guy to talk about guy stuff. Think about it: George W. Bush could talk about war all he wanted because he cut brush and had a Texas twang. And then there’s Michael Dukakis riding in a tank…not so much. It doesn’t always […]
Just for Men signed on this year to sponsor the National Beard and Mustache Championship, which is being held at the House of Blues in New Orleans. The Competition has been around for 17 years, but this is the first time the vaunted hair-coloring company has lent its support – and it seems the once-discreet […]
