Okay, it's here. Just in case rapping dairy farmers weren't goofy/stupid/twisted enough for you, here's the newest spot.

 

Would ya believe skateboarding dairy farmers?

Just completed the new spot for the Dairy Farmers of Ontario. So how do you top rapping dairy farmers? It'll break in January. Stay tuned.

 

Also completed the new TV campaign for Old South Orange Juice, also breaking in January. All I need now is a coffee account and I'll have the whole breakfast beverage thing pretty much covered.

It Ain't Rocket Science Advertising Inc is invited to pitch for the Canadian Minute Maid business. Of course, I had to compete against the likes of Leo Burnett, MacLaren, Cossette, Rethink, Lowe Roche, and Taxi. Yep, my little one-man operation against a cross-section of the biggest and best agencies in the country.

I didn't win(I know, I can't believe it either), but it was a lot of fun playing with the big kids.

Full points to the folks at Minute Maid for being more adventurous and open-minded than the typical packaged goods company, and thanks for the opportunity.
