@SkyCreative’s advertising for its new streaming bundle, spotted here on a @blowUPmediaUK format in Bristol, and also in DOOH and print in recent weeks. But my favourite, which I’m yet to get a photo of includes director chairs.

Nice #OOH ads from @SkyCreative just showing the sheer extent of Sky’s streaming bundle. Whilst I personally have reservations at such bundles due to the annualised ‘drip pricing’ / mid-contract prices hikes, the advertising is persuasive showcasing the extent of content.

I love clever design like this. Bravo to these logo designers.

EXCLUSIVE | @DisneyCruise Line’s new “Midnight Magic” ad, which debuted during the 98th @TheAcademy Awards on @ABC, uses real guest-inspired moments to trace a father and son’s shipboard ritual across their lives, showing that Disney cruises are less about the destination and more about the lasting connections and feelings they create. https://t.co/kD4o5EGFvl
