Check out this write up in Ad Age and watch for the first of the TV spots tonight on "Grey's Anatomy," "The Office" and "Survivor."

Volkswagon Radio Fun and Games

This afternoon when we needed to get some authentic VW Jetta engine sounds for a series of new radio ads, Crispin Porter + Bogusky Producer Joe DeVanon headed out back with Coupe Sound Designer Chris McNaughton and Producer Eric Singer to capture the sounds of a 2009 Jetta. Start, idle, rev, repeat. Not pictured here are the images of Joe racing up and down the parking lot with Chris running behind, mic in hand. No substitute for the real deal!

VW Road to the MLS Cup

MLS - it's not just the Multiple Listing Service for Realtors anymore... It's Major League Soccer! The world's most popular sport for the last 300 years or so is finally getting its due here in the US.
