Beautiful, simple campaign from Amnesty International.
Cool campaign from Skittles, going full on the live element. Enter an update and 15min later, you’ll get your update visualized by a real person in a YouTube video. A whole battery of Skittles call centre peeps are working at office hours (UK) to make it all happen.
Ad people like to make ads to convince others to join the club. For young art directors living in and around the area of Budapest the advertising for its Art Directors Club of Hungary makes joining these kinds of clubs almost really appealing.
After all these decades Nike and W+K keep on making the ads that have impact & beauty. Often you need to be in the know of a certain athletes’ story. The new LeBron James 90-sec ad, ‘Rise’, touches on the whole saga regarding his turbulent move from the Cavaliers to the Heat. Should he team up with Don Johnson instead?
For Nike Football, we have integrated various solutions between sites such as Voetbalzone and Facebook. After Ajax, Real Madrid and Oranje, Sneijder and Van de Vaart are finally meeting each other in the Champions League. In a campaign for Nike Pro Combat, they will be verbally competing against each other in the upcoming weeks.
Ah LandRovers, what fine cars they make. Oh, one day. Their little luxury utility vehicle called the Freelander 2 is a bit outshined by that other star in their new commercial, mr. Clay Mason. The clay animation is almost a bit on the creepy side. Check out the making of. And check out that Freelander 2 in black (please Santa?).
A new spot for Cheestrings, the children’s cheese snack, to support the launch of the new product – Cheestrings Spaghetti. Supported by an online game for kids.
Just incase you are missing the sound of the vuvuzelas, The Natural Confectionery Co. have re-recorded the ‘trumpets’ advert. It’s great, but then again, I’m bias!
Following on from their successful Fun Theory campaign, Volkswagen create more playful interventions in the name of viral advertising. Slide down like a child in the middle of a public space. (Via Chris O’Shea)
Death to the Death panelty is the name of this beautiful ad from Amnesty. It’s created by TBWA Paris. The song is called Everyday by Carly Comando.
To demonstrate the maneuverability of the Toyota iQ, the car was turned into a mouse so it could move a cursor on a giant screen and operate a computer to make its own newspaper ad. Concept by Saatchi & Saatchi NZ who made a custom piece of software to steer the cursor.
Hyper London created Charlie’s Story – every 25,000 views updates the story of an abandoned dog and Pedigree donate £1 for every view. Ghost leads & Skips support the campaign.
Here’s the follow-up campaign of the Walk-in Fridge. Last week there was a teaser on television and yesterday it first aired on television. Created by TBWA/Neboko.
Last week Adobe launched Creative Suite 5 (in The Netherlands at the Adobe User Group, also featuring Wieden+Kennedy and Hanazuki). To promote the CS5 Production Premium, agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners created this great video. And they did ‘the making of’ video too:
Nice image from a new campaign for Colgate’s 360 sonic power toothbrush. It has a small tagline saying ’333 strokes per second!’.
Did you know a baby elephant was born? If you do, you probably live in Belgium. For everyone who lives outside this country, a sweet video.
A very simple but smart guerilla campaign in which IKEA is promoting their two couches “Ektorp” and “Kalstad” by strategically placing them in Paris metro stations. This is really effective as most of the waiting passengers are more than likely to test them.
Something good looking from Microsoft! For the renewed MSN Canada platform Australian 3D animation heroes Umeric made these lovely ads. The MSN butterfly smoothy shifts shapes, illustrating the topics at hand. Watch versions one…
Some of you know this for some time already. Some of you don’t. This post is for the latter. In most countries around Europe you can’t see all the Champions League games live on tv. In Holland you can’t see any of the CL games tonight. Thanks to good old internet you can see them easily at ATDHE.net for niks (warning: no HD).
Great use of video and background in this Vimeo ad for Frito Lay Dips. Similar to Honda Shine, but entertaining in it’s own way. One of the few online display formats I actually believe in.
To celebrate it’s soon to be Fair Trade status, Ben&Jerry’s is trying to start a Givolution. They give a free icecream for anything you wish to share. Others will bid for your item, give you something in return, and so it starts. NewWork like’s to give, and offers a free NW shirt. What do you give in return?
Post Panic, one of Holland’s best motion studios, and Amsterdam Worldwide created this little gem for Asics. ‘Set in that magic hour, just before sunrise, the film captures an unexpected moment in the shoe’s existence’. Filmed at the Amsterdam Wood.
Nice campaign from Adidas on Youtube in which you can interact in different ways with the video’s.
Great campaign for Domino’s Pizza. Faced with harsh criticism about their pizza they chose to face the facts and reinvent the Domino’s pizza from the ground up. Real problem, real people, real pizza.
For TransIP, a company that registers domains, Pool created the campaign: Eigen Domein Eerst (Own Domain First.) It’s a parody of Geert Wilders. The movie is in Dutch btw.
Adidas Originals‘ 2010 collection contains Star Wars inspired gear. Besides an ‘Imperial March‘ remix the commercial features Snoop Dogg, David Beckham, Calle 13, DJ Neil Armstrong, Daft Punk, Darth Vader and some b-boys, all ‘representing their originality‘. Campaign by Sid Lee, Montreal, directed by Nima Nourizadeh and effects by The Mill.
Remember the controversial VW Polo suicide commercial? Audi now got one too.
Via ShawnElliott comes this site where you can browse through a vast amount of vintage ads. Inspiring ones like this Hunter ad from 1951 or really disturbing ones like these ads from the States from the 1850s at which posters show headers like ’24 rice field negroes for sale’. Or what about an ad for a doll called Gay Bob.
Interactive copywriters beware, your futures are in danger…or your life just got easier.
Chrome is Googles browser. Of course Google has done some great stuff in the past but why switch to a new browser when your current choise suits you fine? This ad explains the advantages in a cool way, you have to appreciate the effort and creativity it took to make it.
