MPR's Euan Kerr took a look at this year's British advertising awards at the Walker Art Center (recently renamed the British Arrow Awards).
The new name reflects the fact that many of these ads are not found on television, but on laptops, smart phones and other devices, which allow them to run longer than a typical television spot.
This ad in particular caught my eye. Behold, the Yeo Valley Rappers:
Interesting fact: Some 20,000 Minnesotans will see the ads during their run at the Walker Art Center. While the show tours other major U.S. cities, the Minneapolis show has by far the longest run by an order of several magnitudes.
