Pink spray paint.
This is a picture I took the last time I went to the new building, the Ogilvy Building.

Did I say Public Enemy? I meant Question... weird, huh?
So we finally got a question for the blog from associate Andrea Kroeger.
She writes:

So I went to Hulu today and what did I find on the front page, but an interview with a guy named David Ogilvy!
It's an interview with the great DO from 1983, 25 years ago on a show called the David Susskind Show. I watched it, and I just had to post it here. It's pretty darn entertaining. ... Full story
This is the water tower across the street from the Ogilvy Building.
It's on top of the Salvation Army building.
Last year, said Salvation Army had tons of treasures to find.

Hey everybody!!
I got to go to the Ogilvy Building yesterday.
It was pretty sweet.
As you probably know, if you’ve been keeping up with this site at all, I’ve gone over there a bunch, but nothing really changes on the outside of the building. There was the installation of the ... Full story

This site is a global conversation among women of color about what their skin means to them. It’s an online destination that places each guest at the center of a like-minded community—and which positions the Vaseline Cocoa Butter as a brand that understands women and their skin. Here ideas, memories and insights are shared. And everyday people can give voice to their skin.
Using video assets captured during a television commercial shoot, Ogilvy created an easy-to-learn game for SixFlags.com. Game play produces immediate gratification via verbal encouragement and downloadable desktops. As game sessions end, players are encouraged to share the game with friends and/or buy park tickets.
This site documents real viral spread, as Vaseline traveled to Kodiak Alaska to test its new Clinical Therapy moisturizing lotion. The product was given to one woman, who was free to ‘prescribe’ it to anyone she wanted. The ever-expanding site will host stories and images from the townspeople, and document the nation-wide spread of the product in coming months.
