Creative Ad/Web Design Agency Websites

It’s always nice to browse sites like this to see the approach companies and individuals take to get the attention of potential clients.

It’s interesting to see what other design agencies and small studios are doing with their own websites, because it can quite often be an indicator of the type of work they’d love to do but that perhaps wouldn’t work quite as well for their clients.

Creative Facebook Brand Timeline

Facebook’s new Timeline format didntofficially go live for brand pages until March 30th, but there’s always a few who can’t wait to try new things out. In fact, 8m have already made the switch.

Timeline marks a fundamentally different approach to marketing on Facebook for many brands, with more emphasis on images and genuine engagement on the wall.

Facebook Timeline is the latest feature that was introduced in the recent Facebook Conference, F8. It’s generally a complete overhaul of the profile page with the new ability to view your status updates in a list sorted by time.

Fanta

Coca-Cola group is no stranger to Facebook (more on its main page later in the list), and its page for Fanta is no exception – starting things off with a big, bright image that also promotes the current advertising campaign.

By promoting the campaign, the page also encourages fans arriving on the Timeline to “like” the page subtly, being sure to avoid Facebook’s stringent new rules about this.

NY Times

The NY Times could have chosen a slightly clearer cover pic, but its choice really highlights the feeling of an internal family of workers, putting a crucial human face on things.

The NYT also scores well for its Timeline content, which stretches all the way back to the 1800s and is crammed full of some amazing photography and important stories that really push the paper’s heritage.

Burberry

Timeline is great for promoting images, so it would be remiss not to include at least one fashion brand on this list.

Burberry was one of the first brands to switch, having been allowed to prepare for launch by Facebook. As such, it’s been getting a lot of love on its page because of it.

Captain Morgan USA

Everyone loves pirates, so there was no way we could leave The Captain out.

Subway

Even those of us that have grabbed a day-old footlong on the way home after a night out would be hard pressed to guess the rich history of sandwich supremo Subway.

Starbucks

Given Starbucks‘ truly huge presence on Facebook, it would be surprising if it hadn’t done something worth checking out – and the new page doesn’t disappoint.

While the cover is all about the coffee itself, the page includes local content and reflects the intimacy of having a coffee with friends.

Macy’s

Packed full of images and offers, Macy’s has done a great job with its apps.

Ford Motors

Although the cover picture of the company’s headquarters might be a little dry, Ford excels by having great content on display that explores the company history from Model T to supercharged GT500.

Coca-Cola

We mentioned Coke earlier on, but it’s worth looking at the soft drink’s main page.

Old Spice

Unsurprisingly, Old Spice takes a slightly surreal and very funny angle to its Timeline design.

Kay Int Veen.

Nice use of Polaroid-style photo to introduce the profile owner! The new Facebook Timeline is actually a virtual board for you to show off your creativity, so toy around with it and show to others how creative you are!

Aly Moffatt.

Creative photo with creative usage. You won’t know what’s happening by just looking at her photo in status page, but you will get shocked once you see her profile/timeline page!

Andrew Grojean.

Yes, this is a timeline cover, see carefully. What a neat and amusing trick!

Nirajan Bom Malla.

One of the timeline cover’s tricks that went viral is to use the screenshot of other social media site as the cover. Google+ in Facebook, will this be possible in future?

Antonio Fadda.

Brilliant combination of the profile photo and the timeline cover, and yes, it’s creative.

Delphin Hauchard.

Nicely adjusted profile photo and the timeline cover, what a great way to show the best moment of life.

Dustin Thaxton.

Willing to show not just the single best moment of life? With timeline cover and some Photoshop works you can get more great moments of life glued onto the cover!
