margaret lampert for VW

We are very proud to share a recent ad of Margaret Lampert's for VW as the ad is garnering much publicity. The ad agency, DDB Argentina is showcasing it on the home page of the agency website, and we were thrilled to see the ad reproduced in the most recent issue of Lurzer's Archive, the magazine known for exhibiting the best international advertising.  Way to go Margaret! 

margaret lampert for fisher price

In early May, Bill Gastinger Art Producer from Y&R New York called to consider Margaret Lampert for an important ad campaign for their client, Fisher Price.  We spoke at length about the goals of the agency with this campaign - to move the brand in a new direction, as the client had previously tended towards a more controlled look, studio environments and highly stylized photography.  The centerpiece of this new direction was looser, more organic, location driven real photography, and I knew from the start that this was a campaign made for Margaret.  We successfully bid and won the job and had a wonderful experience both with Lesley Esan, the Art Director and Bill Gastinger, the Art Producer, as well as a great support crew through Lockbox Productions.  The ads are breaking now, we will share a few with you here.

This is a fabulous post by Jamie Kripke, detailing his conflict with whether or not to accept a dream job that interfered with his plans to celebrate his 40th birthday with his family. Beautifully articulated Jamie and yes, I think you made the right decision too. Read the original post here.

The irony on what I am about to post is not lost on me. While innocently posting about my great dinner with 1) my fabulous food photographer, 2) his equally food savvy wife, 3) our highly acclaimed food stylist, 4) our gastronomic Del Monte client, 5) our wonderful designer and 6) totally together account exec…yes, I realize I am about to post food photos. Please take the photos in the spirit in which they were meant. What a fantastic evening at Skool; thank you Michael, Joyce, Stephanie, Trinity, Stephanie and Gail!
