Riga City Council's Social Media Campaign

Yesterday on LTV1 I saw Riga city's representative N. Ušakovs. He was advertising how Twitter can be used to get Riga City Council to come and fix a lift in a private building.

The Most Watchable and Best BMW Advertisement

The Most Watchable and Best BMW Advertisement

Browsing around YouTube I accidentally came across footage from the short film series The Hire - intrigued, I downloaded the whole series via Torrent. Truly watchable pieces. They are in fact a total of 8 short films, commissioned by BMW in 2001 and 2002 to showcase the advantages of BMW on any road surface, in any corner of the world, and in any extreme situation.
