Iceland wants to be your friend
This is basically the coolest thing we’ve ever seen.
Iceland is on the internet, and it wants to be your friend.
Here’s a recent post on the country’s official blog:
A whole country (including the President!) winning at social media.

Nike Air Max… The Hamburger
What happens when your brand is so big you’re encouraged to set aside some marketing budget for artists to ‘interpret’ your most famous products?
The Nike Air Max Hamburger, that’s what happens.
Created by Olle Hemmendorff, to be viewed along with 7 other Nike collabs at Sneakersnstuff, Stockholm
It’s now or never

Vytautas Mineral Water: It’s Earth’s Juice!
First, there was Powerthirst.

(Video) Skiing ain’t what it used to be
When you grow up snowboarding like I did, it feels a little strange watching as freestyle skiing explodes like Gremlins in the cake mixer.
But to deny what’s happening on two sticks these days would be ignorant… Especially after seeing what these lads get up to in Legs of Steel: Nothing Else Matters.
As the Vimeo description reads: Crank up your speakers and hit full screen.
or, if you’d prefer a shorter ski video that’s still sick as hell…

More than just a Tiny Story
London based director duo Sebas & Clim wanted to find a new way to illustrate the fundamentals of storytelling using just a dot, a line and a single word.

(Video) Holding Creative Directors to ransom
As the views from our previous post continue to go a little bit bananas, we thought it might be nice to show the other side of the creative coin.
A young creative team in Melbourne were looking for work at an ad agency. Instead of taking the usual boring path (Click here to send us your CV), they tried something a little different.
Well played, and congratulations lads.

Artist makes his mark at Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne
We don’t know who did it.
We don’t know who asked him (or her!) to do it, or what the brief was.
We don’t even know whose office they did it in.
All we know is, this artist took an opportunity to decorate the offices of ‘Australia’s Agency of the Year’ to share their, somewhat negative, opinion of advertising.
Point made.
Bean Ergonomic Mouse by Rene Lee
There are too many reasons to list why this is a brilliant piece of design.

We don’t normally post naughty videos at That’s Ace, but come on, it’s Jamie Oliver.
Just a heads up, it’s kinda NSFW
