In the Best Advertising Website category, there's the Journey microsite for the Wall Street Journal, which I first blogged about here. Check it out - I oversaw the concept and even lovingly videoed the behind the scenes clips.

And in the Best Use of Virtual Worlds category, there's the Virtual Thirst campaign for Coca-Cola that I helped bring to Second Life and wrote about here.

It's all pretty ironic timing, because in the past few days I've decided to leave crayon, the new media start up I've been working at since the beginning of the year to explore different opportunities. I know a few advertising folks read this blog, so I just wanted to throw that out there. I'm looking. Portfolio here. Resume here.
