Devassa beer: Paris Hilton

Feb 26th, 2010 by admin

Nice little new number featuring Paris Hilton, this time she is strutting her stuff for a Brazilian beer brand called Devassa. The ad was done by Agencia Mood, and so far the above clip has received no less than 3 separate investigations for sexism, being too sensual, and encouraging drinking ! So if you want to cause a stir for your next ad, campaign just call Paris Hilton.

Molson Canadian – Made from Canada

Feb 18th, 2010 by admin

If you’re Canadian then you will probably like this, if you’re not then take in the overkill on the Canadian love given in this new ad for Molson Canadian beer. The spot is part of a rebrand for Molson Canadian beer by Zig agency. If this clip somehow doesn’t give you a big enough Canada hit, then have a look at their facebook page by clicking here.

Feb 17th, 2010 by admin

If you like football or Guinness this will probably be right up your alley. Its a new ad for Guinness by Saatchi & Saatchi and Velocity films, Cape Town. The spot features a football scout prowling Africa for local talent and finding it in the most unlikely places. Great work.

The ad was filmed in Kenya and currently airing in most Southern African countries.

Sprite: Drake

Feb 15th, 2010 by admin

Love the effects work for this new spot from Sprite by BBH NYC. The spot features Canadian rapper Drake in a studio trying to get his groove on. Surprisingly when he takes a sip of Sprite, not only does he get his grove on, but he also shows his inner robot ! Hat Tip: Adfreak

Andes Beer: Teletransporter

Feb 4th, 2010 by admin

Lovely campaign for Andes beer from Del Campo Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi in Argentina. Andes beer decided to help solve one of mans greatest problems: How to go out for the night with your mates without getting into trouble with your girlfriend. To solve this problem Andes created a sound proofed capsule that could be placed in main bars/clubs across the country, that would allow men to dash inside and talk to the girlfriends without them knowing they were out and about with their mates. To help make it more realistic they programmed in ambient noises that users could select to be played in the booth via a built in touch screen. Noise scenes such as traffic, supermarket,office, and even movie theatre were available. Take a look at the video above to see it in action. To visit the campaign site click here (its in Spanish) Hat Tip: Adsoftheworld

Bud Light: Clothing Drive ad

Jan 26th, 2010 by admin

Another fantastic commercial for Bud Light by DDB. This one is the follow up to the extremely successful swear Jar spot they made for Bud Light two years ago. This time the office is on a donate clothing drive and in exchange for any items of clothing donated they give you a Bud Light in return. I still prefer the Swear Jar ad but good fun either way.

Coca-Cola: Coke Happiness Vending Machine

Jan 14th, 2010 by admin

Great work from agency Definition 6 who managed to create a Coke happiness vending machine and promptly placed it in a collage food hall area. The machine dished out random prizes to punters including pizzas’, a  20FT sub, flowers for the ladies, balloon animals and plenty of free Coca-Cola. Great work and really would love it if coca-cola could install one at our office, would make us very happy. The nearest I ever experienced happiness with a vending machine was at school for about 2 days when our coke one started giving £2 change if you put in £1, I managed to get about £40 before it was disconnected, good times.

Stella Artois: Le Bar Guide Augmented Reality iPhone App

Dec 3rd, 2009 by admin

The wonderful people at LimelightPR just sent me a fantastic new new augmented reality iphone application from Acrossair for Stella Artois called “Le Bar Guide”. The app works similar to Layar, using your iPhone’s GPS, camera, accelerometer and magnetometer to pick up where you are, and which direction you are looking at, allowing you to see through your camera screen the exact location / distance of bars nearby. You can then click on the venue for more info and directions using Google maps, you can also filter the bars shown by atmosphere type, ratings etc.  When you are at a listed bar you can also leave messages under that venue name for other users, rate it, or send the details to friends. The app even allows you to easily find and call taxis in your area ! Look at the video above to see the app in action, I especially like the way you can point your phone towards the ground and see arrowed directions to the nearest bars on the ground. At the moment the application is being launched for free initially to the US market, but there is a comprehensive global roll out planned in the New Year – with the UK top of the list. Great to see Stella taking the initiative and pushing the boundaries. At present the app is not live but it will be later today so will pop up the link as soon as its available.

Muscle Milk: The Sexy Pilgrim

Nov 23rd, 2009 by admin

Pretty hilarious ad spot for a drink called Muscle Milk. Very reminiscing of an Andy Samberg Saturday Night Live skit but still fun none the less. Nice work from Pereira & O’Dell. They even set up a micro site for the campaign called www.sexypilgrim.com that allows you to watch the clip and download the song as an mp3.
