Anomaly is launching its first work for Diesel, a campaign that encourages consumers to “be stupid”. Diesel consolidated its global advertising account into Anomaly in September. The campaign, entitled be stupid, was devised in collaboration with Diesel’s creative team, and encompasses press, outdoor, digital and viral activity.
Like balloons, we are filled with hopes and dreams
But. Over time a single sentence creeps into our lives
Dont be stupid.
Its the crusher of possibility.
Its the worlds greatest deflator.
The world is full of smart people.
Doing all kind of smart things…
Thats smart.
Well,
were with stupid.
Stupid is the relentless pursuit of a regret free life.
Smart may have the brains…
but stupid has the balls.
The smart might recognize
things for how they are.
The stupid see things for how they could be.
Smart critiques.
Stupid creates.
The fact is
if we didnt have stupid thoughts
wed have no interesting thoughts at all
Smart may have the plans…
but stupid has the stories.
Smart may have the authority
but stupid has one hell of a hangover
Its not smart to take risks…
Its stupid.
To be stupid
is to be brave
The stupid isnt afraid to fail.
The stupid know there are worse things than failure…
like not even trying.
Smart had one good idea,
and that idea was stupid.
You cant outsmart stupid.
So dont even try.
Remember
only stupid can be truly
brilliant
So,
BE STUPID

In Tot Mom, Sydney Theatre Company’s latest production, Steven Soderbergh has created a compelling look into how a crime can come to grip an entire nation through intense media and public attention. We worked with Sydney Theatre Company to create an outdoor, press and online campaign for the production that turns the media and public attention of the case into the advertising itself. The website acts as a platform through which users can discover and investigate the Caylee Anthony case through the mass of media it has generated. The site also offers the public the opportunity to leave their own comments. The comments left on the site are then used in the posters and press advertising, creating a recurring cycle of opinion, interpretation, and discovery. http://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/2009/tot-mom/talkback/
