T-Mobile Made A New AT&T Attack Ad [THE BRIEF]

Good morning, AdLand. Here's what you need to know today:

T-Mobile just released an ad during yesterday's NBA Playoffs that pits the company directly against AT&T. Instead of T-Mobile girl-in-pink-turned-biker-babe Carly Foulkes starring in the spot, Dr. Frankenstein takes the lead. Publicis Seattle and Riney made the spot. What do you think?

Twitter strikes up a deal with Publicis' Starcom MediaVest Group, which could open the door to working with Procter & Gamble, Walmart, Samsung, and Coca-Cola.

RPA and Tools made a terrifying ad for the Newport Beach Film Festival about a sadistic dentist.

Branding strategist Crystal Bennett looks at what happens when brands come out of the closet about gay rights.

ThingLink, a new startup, just partnered up with Facebook to make content even more interactive.

CP+B also hired a ton of people for its LA office.
