The Jack Daniel’s Virtual World Tour.
I was the copywriter for this project when I was back in New Zealand last year. Easily the most fun I’ve had while in advertising to date. Working hard and laughing hard.
JWT Auckland is a great agency to be a part of. A few of them have very cool Tumblr accounts:
Pete Ogden, Executive Creative DirectorSam Schrey, Interactive Art Director
thatgirlgwen asked: Just a quick note to let you know I enjoy your blog! The creative campaigns and infographics you find always brighten my day (and my dashboard) and get me excited about the world of advertising.
I'm a student/wannabe/rising account planner, and I love finding other advertising students on Tumblr and in the blogosphere. I'm always looking for new blogs and people to follow! Do you have any suggestions for a fellow advertising student? :)
Thanks -- and have a blast with your internship with Draft Malaysia!
Thanks for your submission—much appreciated! Lucky for you I’ve actually been meaning to post my recommendations for a while. Here are a few blogs and twitter handles that I know of that are owned by established ad men and women, as well as a few student blogs that I enjoy.

I’m sure every aspiring ad person wants to get inside the mind of a CD, and at least with tumblr you can get a glimpse. His tumblr also presents a great (instagram) picture of life here in Kuala Lumpur.

Dan Watson is a junior creative with a lot of insight into the Advertising world. He writes not only about the industry but also some funny observational pieces. I would highly recommend his blog for all you aspiring copywriters because you could learn a lot from his writing style and he’s generally keen to answer questions.
