    Let's Talk About Stuff.

Our goal in posting our blogs is three fold: To introduce timely industry news that is relevant to our clients; to post items we find interesting and entertaining, and finally, to give you a glimpse of TSW US “Behind the Curtain”. We take the business aspects of what we are doing very seriously, but we like to have fun, hopefully that shines through here.

Our Blog is a puzzle being assembled. Sometimes the individual pieces of the puzzle don’t look like the whole picture once completed – You have to keep adding pieces one at a time to make the image clear. We hope you keep coming back to see how the TSW US puzzle takes shape.

Throwback Thursday American Tourister Ad is Crush-Proof

02/12/2015

It's Throwback Thursday at Elarbee Media. This 1968 American Tourister ad is the perfect example of clean simplicity with its use of color and graphic imagery. We love it! 

They are selling a SUITCASE, and the functionality and features of......a SUITCASE. Shocking but true! Selling the benefits of a product actually works.

Art Tuesday Donne Moi ta Bouche

Its Art Tuesday at Elarbee Media! We thought this picture by our favorite French Canadian artist Luc Nadeau titled “Donne moi ta bouche”, would be a perfect tie in with one of our favorite “business” quotes.

“Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly.” - Old West Proverb

Literally translated “Donne moi ta bouche” is “Give me your mouth”, just in case you were curious.

February is Black History Month

"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." Colin Powell

Elarbee Media has been steeped in Cause Marketing and Social Media for the past several months. We thought we would do our part to pass along the word that February is Black History Month. Headquartered in Atlanta, GA, we are fortunate to have access to many full time exhibits on the subject; but, nothing makes an impact like a quote from someone you respect.

Cocktail Friday Lone Star Light Rocks Your Brain

It's Cocktail Friday again at Elarbee Media! And this Friday it is time for Lone Star Beer to take over again with one of their brain teasers. Keep in mind, you are supposed to be drinking beer while reading these, so they are not designed to be TOO complicated.Still, if you can't figure them out, go to lonestarbeer.com
 to get the answer based on the number code printed on the bottle cap.What does this have to do with Elarbee Media? Not much really, except that we think this is a brilliant engagement campaign, and we spend a lot of time in Texas drinking Lone Star.
Cheers!

Blog Image for Art Tuesday Black and White Warriors

Art Tuesday Black and White Warriors

02/03/2015
It’s Art Tuesday at Elarbee Media! This week we have chosen to highlight a black and white titled “Warriors”. This piece, circa 1971 by Stuart White, is only 3 X 5 unframed but the impact is so much larger. 

The stark contrast of the heavy black ink on the white paper (now slightly yellowed) is powerful, and reminiscent of a Rorschach Test. Its simplicity begs the question – “When is less actually more?” 

In advertising, we forget that simplicity sells. Ads are crammed with disclaimers, arrows, details and numbers; so much so that it can be hard to figure out what is being offered. Is the answer, clean, simple, stark but solid presentation as in “Warriors”. I think it is certainly worth a test.
