Great idea. Practice on your stress ball - very practical.

ummm.... someone is copying someone.... who was first?

Brilhant!!!! Great idea...

Who ever owns it
it's a great idea.

Smart!
I wish there was something about "does the stress of not knowing tire you out?" or something to tie in the stress ball a bit more, great idea though.

i get your point... and i agree: there should be more links related to the fact that this ball is used for "no-stress"... but it is still nice!

it's a great idea.
Didn't I see this done by a miami ad school student for an awards brief?

Great idea.... thumbs up guys

Good one

great!!!!!!!


Now it's clear that Dubailynx is a full of scam......congratulations mccann

its very easy to tarnish the whole region for the fault of one. i for one know that it is not copied. jwt came up with this idea last year and have been working with focp on this project.
if it is copied, one agency would have their date of release before the other not at the same time.

roche put their stress balls on ads of the world after dubai lynx. had anyone seen it before that??

I don't know who did first, all i know is that this idea was online, in the copywriter's blog and site, still in rough, since January 2008:

McCann sold this idea to Roche in April 2008 and 60 000 balls were produced in January 2009.
Now, if both agencies had the same idea at the same time, congratulations to both.

Congratulation McCann, Congratulation Jwt.
Great Idea!!

Excellent idea. Gives a woman the idea she really can detect the tumor.

Copy cat!!!!

How ironic, you look at the picture and you see one of Mccann's employees receiveing the stressball near the agency's office. How convenient. Smile for the camera darling we need to show how credible ths action was ;)
