[List] 18 Advertising & marketing inspirations around the web

In no absolute order, I would like to share with you few of my favorite blogs and portals that feature news and insights on the advertising scenes from Asia, Australia or even North America. I’m pretty sure there are much better ones out there but if you got one to share, drop me a note on the comments below. Hope you’ll find things here useful. :)

Creativity Online
You’ll actually benefit more from being a member in this site, where you can have access to most of the “legendary” campaigns ever made. But still, for non-subscriber, you can still enjoy the cakes while it’s hot (around 15 days after the article is posted). Covers from prints to videos.

Coloribus
Claimed as the world’s biggest ad archive on the internet, one of the best feature on the site would the listings for award winners across the globe. What I liked about the TVC section of the site that it allows you to either view the spot online or download it into your hard drive.
