Mission: Get EmmanueLabor Hired

January 27, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Alright, so if you haven’t heard, I am on a mission to get EmmanueLabor hired by Nike, as he rightly deserves. This is the  Get EL Soon campaign and I need your participation in order to make sure this goes through successfully. Nike has an email address where they take idea submissions. The idea is to flood Nike with as many Get EL soon cards as we possibly can so that they cannot continue to overlook or ignore the works of one of the best customizers of our time. So here’s the info….

Send this letter in the body of your email:

To whom it may concern:

While your health is very important, this is not a get well soon card. It’s a “Get EL Soon” card. EL is EmmanueLabor a sneaker customizers whose talents for customization and reconstruction reach far beyond anything any other customizer on the planet can even attempt to do. He has single handedly revolutionized the custom sneaker industry, setting the precedent for customizers all over the world (yeah, that’s right, the world!).

For nearly ten years EmmanueLabor has dominated the underground sneaker culture with his intricate, hand-made, designs, leaving sneaker lovers everywhere in awe. For both designing and wearing purposes, Nike is and has always been his sneaker of choice. He has not limited himself to one style of Nike, but continually pushes the bar with different variations and styles of shoes within the Nike brand. He has recreated existing models and even created one of a kind hybrid models. His innovation and creativity cannot be over-looked or ignored. It would be like not noticing it’s raining or snowing.

With such a great talent on top of his dedication and loyalty to your brand EmmanueLabor deserves a chance at being a contracted artist for Nike. Just as if you didn’t open your umbrella when it was raining or put on a coat when it was snowing, you cannot afford to ignore him and pretend he’s not one of, if not the, most awesome sneaker customizers around. It’s just common sense.

Samples of EmmanueLabor’s work can be seen through listed links below. Thank you.

Sincerely,

-Loyal Nike Customer

When Does the Tide Single Drop?

I love this commercial. I find myself singing this song and it’s not even a whole song. I’d actually like to know who’s singing it.

Evian Roller Babies

July 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Even before I was a marketing major, I’ve always been fascinated with advertisements. I don’t care (or know that much) about football or the Superbowl, but I love the commercials. This Evian ad is one of the funniest and technologically innovative commercials I’ve seen in a while. I might be afraid to give Evian to my kids after watching it though.

Toy Story 3!

June 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I was sifting through the Digital Ape blog and I saw that Toy Story 3 is coming out June 18, 2010. I love Toy Story. I quote lines from the first two all the time. OK, well I quote lines from a lot of movies all the time; but this is definitely up there with my favorite Disney movies. I’ll have to post about that later :)

Hey, come to think of I think this gives me an idea…..
