    Peacocking With Alpha Nail

    Sometimes a piece comes along that can fit into several CultureWaves™. This is one of them. What we have here is a nail polish aimed squarely at men which made me immediately think: Yin Yang Blend™: “I see the line between sexes as blurred.”™ But then I checked out the site and thought whoa! They [...]

    Tom Ford Is At It Again

    Tom Ford seems to have three careers. One is a famous fashion designer, then he turned his hand to film directing… and the third seems to be making feminists furious with his photoshoots. This latest one is no exception. Yes,  that’s him sniffing a fragrance tester pulled from a models butt crack. He has had [...]

    Peeking At Victoria’s Secret

    The Human Truth™ of Suggestive Selling™ is:  “I can’t help looking at what’s hot”™. Victoria’s Secrets latest campaign is banking on that to be true.  Of course, they have built their empire on sexiness… no other lingerie house has the most beautiful women in the world walking half naked down the runway at an annual [...]

    “You Wanna Burger, Baby?”

    As the Food Truck wars heat up in Los Angeles, everyone’s looking for an angle… a gimmick that will set them apart from the pack. Well here’s a textbook case of Suggestive Selling™ and it seems to be working out for these gals. Baby’s Badass Burgers arrived on the scene with hot girls in tiny [...]

    Make It A Bourbon On The Rocks… Or, Er… Tongue

    There’s a fierce debate raging among my friends about whether this Jim Beam viral is gross or sexy. I’m falling more in the sexy camp… perhaps Sexily Gross? Whatever camp you fall in, you must admit it’s a fairly engaging 30 secs of advertising and that’s what Suggestive Selling™ is all about.  The Human Truth™ [...]

    Sexy Bones

    Excuse me? A medical imaging supply company using naked x-rays as a selling tool? I guess you could call it creative, but is it more along the lines of pornography?

    The “Eau De Toilette” of Toilet Cleaners

    This has to one of my favorite examples of Suggestive Selling™ in a long time!!

    “I can’t help looking at what’s hot™” …even if it’s an ad for toilet cleaner! Sometimes the best ideas are about doing the opposite of what is expected.

    How to achieve a Portugasm

    So it’s no surprise that Fast Food advertising has mainly dwelt in the lowest, physiological level of Maslow’s Hierarchy.  Tearing animalistically into a huge sloppy burger is a guilty, sometimes uncontrollable URGE right?  Hehe That’s why Suggestive Selling is perfect match for Quick Service Restaurants (…you do the “quickie joke” or shall I?) Well I [...]

    Suggestive Selling in a “Man Drought”

    So you may or may not have already heard of the “Australian Man Drought”.   It’s a recent phenom that entails eligible city dwelling Aussie bachelors heading overseas for extended working holidays or high paying salaries.   Hey, I’m reporting from the front line.  I’m living in beautiful Sydney- the city that’s been hit hardest by the [...]

    Desperate Publications Turning to Gutter for Sales

    Former British Cosmo editor Linda Kelsey is “shocked, bewildered and disgusted” by British women’s magazines and their cover lines like, “I breastfeed my puppy” or “Lesbian Incest: My Sister and I Want A Baby.” Magazines were feeling the pinch even before the recession so it seems aiming at the LCD (lowest common denominator) is their [...]
