TBWA's Hunt
to Head Cannes Juries
John Hunt, worldwide creative
director of TBWA/Worldwide, will serve as the president of the
Film and Press & Outdoor juries at the 2005 International
Advertising Festival, organizers announced today. Hunt, a
founding partner of TBWA/Hunt Lascaris in South Africa, moved
to New York last year to take on the network's worldwide
creative director role.
The 2005 festival will take place June 19-25 in Cannes,
France.
INTERACTIVE: Best Buy Promotes Sedentary
Living
From the in-house
advertising department at Best Buy comes this viral effort
promoting the Slothmore Institute, an organization
founded by one Harvey Funkel, dedicated to "enabling greatness
through sedentary living." And the Institute is very serious
about laziness. It offers "Stay In! Solutions,"
"Unmotivational Speakers," and a lax attitude toward
correspondence. "Try and Contact Us," the page suggests.
The payoff is a banner that drives viewers to www.testdrive.bestbuy.com, where indoor
types can find a retail store that features immersive media
experiences based around gaming, watching TV and surfing the
web.

ON THE WEB
Adland reminds us that ten years ago this
week, the first banner ad appeared on the internet. It was for
AT&T and it appeared on HotWired. It's not much to look at, but
you can view it here, or -- as it looked on the
page -- here.
