Leo Burnett and Special K “own” RAW this week

Clearly, I’m a man, but I do enjoy a bowl of Kellogg’s Special K either for breakfast or as a snack. The Fruit & Yogurt and Vanilla & Almond are my jams.

That said, the advertising, now back at Leo Burnett after a short stint at JWT, isn’t directed toward me.

It’s targeted at women, and that’s cool. But I can still appreciate the brand’s message.

That’s why this first spot since returning to Leo and the new tagline, “Own it,” is RAW — Reel Ad of the Week.

N.A.S.A video rockets Fusion Digital to the stars

3D animator/director Paul Griswold has to his credit projects involving Cate Blanchett, Coldplay, Shepherd Fairey, David Bryne, and RZA without leaving his home town of Ft. Wayne, Indiana.

Griswold, president of Fusion Digital, is on a hot streak after co-directing the music video “Money” for hip-hop group N.A.S.A, and animating the World Wildlife Federation’s “Vote Earth” video for Leo Burnett.

He claims his success comes from never turning down a project. It also helps that he’s in the midst of a 3D animation boom and lives in a city with one of the lowest costs-of-living.
