Each year delegates at the Cannes Lions International Festival Of Creativity line up on Thursday morning and cram into the Palais du Festival to see what Saatchi & Saatchi global creatives deem to be the best video content from up and coming directors around the world. This year was no different as the packed room was energized [...]

A decade before he was pulling Golden Globe acceptance speeches from his jacket pocket, David Fincher was topping the podium for his commercial works for the likes of Nike and Levi’s. It’s with this spirit of creative evolution that we launched Packaged Goods – a cool new series that bundles up tasty goodness from the [...]

Radiohead’s new album launched today, rather stealthily with little fanfare. While we’ve known for a while that they’ve been working on an album, word came last Monday that their new album would drop on Saturday, Feb. 19. ‘Hey guys’, they said, ‘we’ve, uh, got a new record.’ Amazing. Then, like a baby to anxious to [...]

Last weekend, for the first time in nearly a decade, I wasn’t professionally obliged to pay attention to the Super Bowl. That made me super happy as I’m not afraid to admit that I basically detest football (with all due respect to those who do). I don’t rail against it, just choose to simply ignore [...]

These directors were in the early stages of building their careers, newly signed to production companies and benefiting from the expertise and infrastructure of a professional shop.

Check. Guitar Hero. Check. DJ Hero. Check. Dance Central on Kinect, Check, check, Chest Pump. But every once in [...]

This week with a unicorn, a Phoenix, a dazzling monkey-pig duo, some amazing animation from some big brains, choreographed dogs and a special dose of product placement “what not to do”. Parallel Lines “Porcelain Unicorn” After the launch of the five-film [...]

This week seemed to bring with it a wealth of new work with ladies at the fore, so I thought I’d do a themed edition of High Fives. Though there’s really nothing demure or ladylike about any of this week’s picks. I could have alternatively titled this list Cute v. Creepy as the full emotional [...]

Aaannnnd… we’re back. Note to self: Not so wise to start a blog just as you’re about to slip into a sun-soaked, wine-fuelled, cottage- and playdate-filled summer. While that’s all blissful, the downside is that you’ve got a site that hasn’t been updated in over a month and a half! Oops… I call it a [...]

It’s hard to stop anything mid-stream. Try to stop walking mid-stride… (I’ll spare you another analogy that comes to mind.) Really hard to do, isn’t it? And you just can help yourself but to finish what you started. That’s kind of what happened with us when Boards closed. We were mere days away from completing [...]
