2 Rules...

There are always only 2 rules.  And here they are. 

Did you get that?

The greatest ads for...

Beer!

Butter!

Greatness!

Nothing further to say!  I feel Great!

BBDO scoops some Cannes prizes.

BBDO has a gang sign, but why wouldnt they, they won at the Cannes Lions. 
Check Bizcommunity.com for all the info as well as radio ads that made this all happen.

Does your company have a gang sign? 

Nice work! 

Almost the weekend Music Mayhem

Unconventional, but well worth a listen...

How good?  I will tell you how good.  Bloody Good!

More than just an ad

Coca Cola have produced more than a product ad, they have stired up an emotion in me that makes me believe.  Goosebumps, Goose pimples, chicken acne, whatever you call it, I have it!

Spectacular stuff Coca Cola!

A little proudly South African inspiration for the day.

This is a brilliantly simple ad campaign for Clorets by a bunch of guys from Ogilvy Cape Town. Well done guys!

The end of the world as we know it!

I cant wait!

Packaging: Japanese style. Can you dig it?

Some examples of Japanese packaging:

Chocolate biscuit packagaing

I like it! 

Some kind of baked confectionary:

Are they boob flavour?  Hell, I will try it!

Lastly, Japanese condom wrappers:

Are these aimed at 13 year old girls?

Yip, its friday and it has music.

Tunes for your friday or little work and go home early day...

New Death Cab for Cutie - rocking!  

A Klein Saterdag Music Video!

I say, I say, I say these are awfully, um special.

This is how NOT to do a TV ad.  Just sit back and cringe at the uncreative, yet somewhat morbidly interesting thinking of these guys.

Hair styles, large! 

Addictive ambient!

Now if you've ever played this very simple game you will know how addictive it can be. I even have it as a Chrome app - Now imagine it in real life! Besides not letting anyone else have a go, I would be the guy shouting profanities if they dared to take it down.

When placing an ad, remember position and placement is very imporant.  Your ad needs to be in the right enviroment and place... unlike ASDA (UK store) which learnt this lesson the hard way. 

Unfortunate for ASDA, funny for me. 

Die Burger Shaiks things up a little...

FCB Draft and Die Burger newspaper have come up with a nice little ad campaign to get people talking, which is in line with the "Praat Saam" slogan. Nice work guys, I like the way you are thinking. 

Good Work! 

Best thing I have seen, possibly ever.

Ah, what can I say about this ad - flip it, just watch. 

Done by Pool World Wide - You refer to the profecy of the agency that will bring balance to the force?

Music Friday time! Yeah!!!

F F B (Freeze, Flash Mob)

Found these flash mob videos using the technique of freezing to drive people crazy...

And another

Hee hee!

Nike Chosen - The Extended Remix

Earlier in tehe week we posted the new video for the new Nike Chosen caimpagn.  Nike have just released a extended remix of the video... Nike choose me!

A rule of life, longer is always better. 

Print Media innovation, Boom!

With lots of talk about print being dead and digital is booming, Peugeot Brazil took their print ad to the next level.  How do you turn a car ad into something special, this is how:

Nice work! 

How to make a boring product, umm interesting...

See if you can guess what product this ad is promoting before the last seconds of the video.

Frightfully good!

Nike - Just did it!

A picture paints a thousand words, but a video breeds a thousand emotions...

And sign!

The shweet, sweet ad.

Starburst America, together with TBWA New York have come up with a new TV ad for the juicy, tasty and delicous sweet that is Starburst.

The Sweet

The Ad

Very nice! 

The world is your playground.

So, flash mobs and street theatre is becoming more popular and brands should be taking advantage of these techniques in unique and memorable ways. 

Here is a group that specialise in this type of street entertaiment, they do unbranded entertainment, but think what this kind of group could do for your brand.

Fun right.  Sssshhhh!

Let's Play... Poolball!

Ok,I wouldn't blame you if you started to think I had a beer drinking problem, but this definietly, maybe the last beer ad for a while... a really didnt want another beer campaign, but this is just too good to not post. 

Question:  How do we sell more beer? 
Answer: Lets invent a game that every man will love. 

Ogilvy Argentina developed an innovative action for Budweiser associated to the growth of a new and very singular sport: “Poolball”, an idea that links two great passions of men, nightlife and soccer. 
A giant pool table over 7×3 meters long, with 15 redesigned soccer balls. Two teams of 2 friends standing on top of this huge table playing with the same pool rules. The difference is in “Poolball” you use your feet to shoot and not the club. 
“Poolball” was presented in an exclusive event where over 600 people enjoyed and had fun with this new sport. There were tunnels, foot games and high precision shots together with good music, mirror balls, women and the most sold beer in the world, Budweiser. Poolball is now touring around bars and pubs of Buenos Aires.
