As you know at VB&P, we are in the business of helping people through caring, thoughtful, funny advertising. So, this week we launched a new campaign for eBay that does just that. When someone is afflicted with shoes or smartphones or chrome wheels on the brain, the only cure is to go out and get it. And with eBay’s awesome mobile technology, you’re covered no matter where and when your need strikes. Simply put, “When it’s on your mind, it’s on eBay.” Check out Mom Jeans and our outdoor billboards below. And while you’re at it, watch Salon and Left Out.

What if you were the best in the world at something and people didn’t notice? For too long, the merits of the Audi A8 have flown under the radar. That is, until now when Road & Track and Car and Driver have both named the Audi A8 the best large luxury sedan. Three spots, including one with basketball legend Phil Jackson, illustrate this point.

Coed baby showers? Eating ‘just a salad’ for lunch? Tantric yoga classes? The modern man has clearly lost his way. There is only one known cure for Male Spice Loss. And that’s a Slim Jim. This week we launched a campaign that chronicles the work of surgeons, doctors, and paramedics from the Slim Jim Center For Spice Loss as they help ‘save’ men who are struggling to deal with adult responsibility and other guy related illnesses by prescribing them Slim Jims, the ultimate cure for their Male Spice Loss symptoms. After all, only Slim Jims are ‘Made From Stuff Guys Need.’ Check out the new Slim Jim site and watch our new TV spots here.

When Audi asked us to help them launch the all-new Audi A7, we responded with a simple, though slightly ambitious, idea: that a car defined by its iconic design could do more than inspire drivers — it could inspire the road and the world around it to catch up. To be more imaginative and more innovative.

And so we set out to do just that, right here in San Francisco. Partnering with the city and the Union Square Business Improvement District, we launched The Audi Design Project: Progress on Powell Street. An innovative urban design and renewal project, led by renowned designer Walter Hood, it drew inspiration from the A7 to reimagine two of the most storied blocks in the city. Today, we are excited to join with Audi, Mayor Edwin M. Lee, city officials and members of the community, as well as Walter Hood, to officially cut the ribbon. Now that’s progress.

To commemorate our 10 year anniversary, we’ve created a Facebook flashback, building profiles for everyone here when they were 10. We’ve also created a site where you can see us at our most beautifully awkward. So check it out, have fun and don’t forget to vote for superlatives like “Best Hair” and “Most Likely to Hot Wire a Car.”
