Last September the famed (in New England, at least) Hood blimp crash landed in the appropriately named Massachusetts town Manchester-by-the-sea. After the crash the dairy company placed an ad thanking the residents of the town for their patience and cooperation during the blimp’s clean up. Either out of sentiment or true adoration, the ad, created by VIA, was handed The International Dairy Foods Association’s “Best Overall” award in the print ad category at the organization’s Smart Marketing 2007 conference held last month in Las Vegas. Did that blimp really crash or was that planned all along? OK. Just kidding.

VIA also won a Best Radio Ad for their Hood holiday eggnog spots and a Best Public Relations Campaign award or its press conference with Boston Red Sox star Coco Crisp as well as an award in the “Best Promotion” category for their Sox Tops for Kids program.

TRENDING AROUND THE WEB

I’m 65 and I have spent most of my adult life believing I was a good friend and the last two years discovering I wasn’t, that I was attentive when I felt like it, generous when it cost me nothing, present when presence was easy, and the evidence for this revision isn’t dramatic — it’s just the quiet of my phone, the shortness of the list of people I could call in a real moment, the specific quality of a Saturday that belongs to nobody

Behavioral scientists found that people without children develop a relationship to mortality that is psychologically distinct. Without biological continuation, they must construct meaning through contribution, connection, and presence rather than lineage, and that construction is both harder and, when successful, more intentional than most people realize.

I’m 65 and my son moved back at 32 and I want to be honest that it was simultaneously one of the most loving things I’ve done and one of the hardest, not because of anything he did but because I’d spent three years learning who I was in an empty house and found that I wasn’t entirely ready to stop being her, and holding both of those things at once was more complicated than any parenting book prepared me for

I chose law school because my parents cleaned houses and I wanted them to be proud. Now I’m 38 making $300K a year and I hate every single morning, but I can’t tell anyone because complaining about a successful life you hate sounds like privilege, not pain

Behavioral scientists found that the improvement strategy with the highest long-term success rate isn’t goal-setting or habit-stacking or accountability — it’s environmental design, the practice of making the default option the one you want to choose, which removes willpower from the equation entirely

Psychology says the reason generational arguments feel so personal is that they aren’t really about economics or housing or work ethic. They’re about whether your suffering counted, and no one stays calm when someone implies the answer is no.
