TBWA Hakuhodo

How’s this for some afternoon excitement: Get grabbed by a dwarfing metal hand, travel via Victorian elevator, and wind up at a client presentation where a Japanese hipster will show you some great* print and commercial work done for a long list of desirable clients like Adidas and Scion. You won’t understand the work — unless you speak Japanese — but hey, fear is universal, so you’ll still get something out of the experience. You can even keep the fun going by getting your friends involved, and maybe start a nice debate about whether the agency’s site takes from, or adds to, the strength of its work. I think extra stimulation can impress and depress simultaneously, so I’m on the fence about that one, but then again, an agency really has to battle to impress their clients these days…so A for effort, TBWA Hakuhodo, I’m sure you know what’s what (and, judging from your location, probably five years before I do). Rock on.

*I don’t speak Japanese. It’s possible that these ads actually suck — who knows.
