Today's Creatives Are Not Thinking Weird Enough.

Another Kreative Klass with Kopyranter.

I ended my first-ever “TED” Talk yesterday by stating that young creatives are the only hope for ad creativity’s future. A day later, this is still true.

However, judging by the consistently non-weird ads you youngsters have created recently, you need more than a “talk”. You need a paddlin’.

Now I’d gladly come and paddle every single one of your asses, and good. But…consider these five fantastically weird commercials your virtual paddlin. To see these spanking-good ads, buy a subscription here.
