Virgin Atlantic: England Team Airline

Whilst driving out of London the other day I spotted this great billboard for my favourite airline Virgin Atlantic, and managed to track it down on Adsoftheworld.com. The print was done by RKCR/Y&R London and I just love it. On a side note I really liked this sign outside the local Barclays bank in the town nearby one of our country homes. The sign says: “Through these doors walk the loveliest people in Oakham. (And you’re one of them)”. So simple and made me smile.

The above brilliant promo clip for a new epic BBC programme called SuperPower was done by RKCR/Y&R.

BBC’s SuperPower is a season of programmes starting today that will be investigating how the internet affects lives and has become the catalyst for a fundamental change in societies around the world.

There is a huge amount of interactive content available for the programme, the main site brings it all together, but they have also been actively starting conversations on Twitter and Facebook, even giving anyone the opportunity  to ask questions to some of the Digital Giants of the industry like Eric Schmidt, Jimmy Wales and Steve Ballmer.

If you’re interested in the digital world this is one not to miss. For an overview of the series just watch the clip below. God bless the BBC.

Wonderful work from Young & Rubicam, Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the UNHCR ( The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees). The copy reads; “Refugees would like to have the same problems you have.”

Fantastic little spot from Young & Rubicam, New York for LG’s new enV Touch phone in the USA. Always love a good car chase, great filming and fantastic to see tiny cars running around the city.

Love this new spot by Young & Rubicam for Argentinean brand Quilmes beer. The ad features two guys on a night out that start to realise they are in a beer commercial with fun consequences.

Great work by RKCR/Y&R London for Virgin media (they are the same peeps behind the sexy 25th anniversary Virgin Atlantic spot). The soundtrack for the virgin Media ad is a song called Beasts by Slow Moving Millie. Thanks to Sarah from RKCR/Y&R for getting back to me with the track.
