Another board

Here’s another UOWYN billboard. This one we thought we would try to inspire everyone to fix that renegade broken sprinkler in the yard/park/officepark that is wasting tons of water down the gutter. Do it!

now beer can come everwhere with us

In our many web travels, we came across a sweet invention: a cooler backpack. Now we can bring frosty beverages to everything we do. And we like this.

Cool

Ad for Aquafina’s sparkling (bubbly) water:

Snowboarding on pavement

We at Sukle like to spend our free time playing. That may mean biking, skating, music, camping, skiing, etc. So, we try to keep up with what’s going on with the things we love to do as our hobbies. So, we came across this in our hunt for the ultimate cruising skateboard, and wow, what a cool invention. The freeboard is like riding a snowboard on the road (too bad we hardly have hills here on the front range). Watch the ‘Watch the ride’ vid to really see how rad the thing is.

Sometimes logos have subversive meanings.

Thanks to The Egotist for turning us on to this. Needless to say, it’s entertained us quite a bit this morning. It’s the new branding for the UK Office of Governmental Commerce. Hilarious.

Pow

These ads for Alka Seltzer are merely a new twist on the ol’ stop-motion-shoot-something-and-it-explodes technique, but we thought close ups of food blowing up was pretty neat-o. Funny, too, it’s an Alka Seltzer they fire thru the food. Check this link for other shots.. 

Better than orange juice.

Yep, fresher than most juices you’ll find in any store: it’s Mouth Juice! Milked straight from the chew hole. We put these bottles around high traffic Wyoming spots, Schools, and on pumps at gas stations in the state. Aside from being real cool and therefore often thefted, they seemed to be a great hit in the state and got folks talking about how nasty the habit of chewing or dipping tobacco is. Just what we were hoping would happen.

Who’s your_______

This is pretty funny, right? Talk about targeting college kids for your marketing campaign…

Weekly tunage

While surfing the Coudal site and reading up on layer tennis (cool), I navigated to one of the layer tennis guy’s sites, and thru a link there found this site. It’s some folks’ blog-type deal where you can get a weekly mix of mp3s to listen to. Personally, I am just bout to try my first mix, so I can’t currently report on the content of the material (hoping for slim amounts of death metal), but what I CAN tell you is the site is designed oh-so-nicely. And we like this.

Just lampin’

So, this lamp is pretty radical. Guess, like us, this artist also liked G.I. Joe growing up. Anyway, it’s a bunch of action figures glued together, and we all know action figures are cool whether you have them battling, posing or just making interesting home furnishings. Check out the post on boing boing here.

How we make it thru the day at Sukle:

We love fake eyeball stickers to put on your eyelids. Naps abound here at Sukle while Mike thinks we’re all just wired awake and working furiously. It’s genius.

Superblow

We just wanted to say that a few of us Sukloids gathered for the big game to inhale trans fat items and beer, and to watch the game/ads. The superbowl is always a bit of a bittersweet event: it’s the championship, but also the LAST football game for months. So, it’s always sad realizing there’ll be no more weekends of gluttonous TV watching. But, the upside is that you usually see some pretty groundbreaking and entertaining commercials. Seeing as how we like to make ads, this is a big day for us, this Superbowl Sunday.

Well, this year, ad-wise, we rank it a C-. And that’s being nice. The game was great (love seeing Brady eat turf), but the ads let us down. Hardly any were worth remembering, and very few were even funny. For all the millions spent and HUGE agency participation, we were expecting much more. Weak sauce, adworld, weak sauce.

We like positive reviews:

We were sent this link from a librarian’s blog, and we found it pretty cool. Yes, it’s more praise for our Denver Water Use Only What You Need work. Yes, it’s on another blog. We weren’t sharing to pat ourselves on the back again, but merely because we found it cool that someone in another market and another industry all together “got it” enough to write about it on their blog (and in a really informed way).

Makes us feel good when our work really is doing what it should- working.

O master of timesheets,  timeliest of timely timesheeting timesheeter. Congrats to Matt for really staying present on his timesheets and showing us all how it should be done. We’ve hereby nominated, and voted him in, as employee of the month (first ever distinction at Sukle). Not because he’s one of the most wicked retouch-master-pixel-wranglers in the west, but because he shames us with his neatness and precision timesheet skills.

Go Matt.

Sukle love Christmas

Well, it’s that time of year: the one where people put on sweaters, drink some strange egg-based booze concoctions, eat cookies and attend company and friend gatherings. Well, once again Michon has outdone herself preparing a festive event in the House of Sukle: the Third Annual Sukle party to honor employees, clients, friends of Suklites, cohorts, cronies, posse members and pals is slated to go off on Friday. We here in Sukleville are always looking forward to what silly happenings will go on at the party. Last year Mike wore a full length fur and pranced about….this year we’re pulling for elf tights. We are having DJ AdaPT spin some tunes, and we’re all really looking forward to the fun. And the ho, ho, hos (sorry, couldn’t resisit).
