The ad agency holiday card ranks among the more inane, useless products coming from the industry each year. Yet time and time again we’re inundated with them (full disclosure: we asked for it), each usually offering some wonky take on the Christmas theme. Seriously, where’r the Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Festivus microsites? That’d be something. Meantime, here’s a list of the shop work you may have missed. For now they’re in no particular order:
— Wasserman and Partners has a bunch of great gifts in there holiday shopping store, available only through their Holiday Shopping Channel. See above.
— Design your own snowman with Y&R Team Detroit.
— Play Christmas songs with Langland’s faces.
— Help Rosetta catch a million snowflakes and they’ll help school kids in New Orleans, somehow.
— Make Movember last through the holiday season with Bernstein-Rein’s Stache the Halls.
— Don’t have a New Year’s resolution? That’s OK, Turkel.info does.
— As boring as water.
— An XMas power hour! If you don’t know what this is, go back to 1989 and sit there until you learn.
— Preston Kelly had an awesome white elephant thing going on, but alas it’s over. So, no link.
— The Screamer Company has some holideas. Arg. The video is cuteness, though.
— A Christmas comic!
— Engine Digital’s got some terrible ideas for holiday micrisites, on their holiday microsite.
— This year, advertising “lost the farm”, expecting a smaller group of people to produce the same (or more) milk. JWT hopes for greener pastures in ’10.
— Season’s Beatings: the holiday season’s main characters are pitted against each other for some reason.
— Cossette made some guy be a slave, er, do good things.
— Need some geeky holiday gift cards?
— Digital fruitcake is almost as boring as its corporeal brother.
— Horatio, the singing Christmas sandwich, does some holiday songs. From Creature.
— AgencySpy.com’s been holidized!
— Haven’t had enough? MakeTheLogoBigger has a few as well. Hint: bondage Elmo.
