With great POWER comes great drum solos, check it out for yourself at https://vimeo.com/47875656

Facebook: The Power of Facebook Advertising

Facebook yesterday shared the below infographic showing some great new global stats around Facebook usage as well as some insights for Facebook advertising.Facebook Infographic

Andes Beer: A singular man

If you have ever watched Edward Scissorhands, and like beer, then this is the ad for you. Andes Beer and the chaps at Del Campo Saatchi & Saatchi, Argentina, have done more great work again. Watch the short clip above for some Andes entertainment.

Volkswagen: Genuine Parts

Below are two recent print ads we did at Ogilvy Cape Town for Volkswagen Genuine Parts. They also just so happened to gain a win at last months Creative Circle’s Ad of the Month awards. Enjoy

Samsung GALAXY SIII: Your Song

Really like this idea, but it’s bit of a poor case study video. Samsung and ad agency Cheil, Singapore, hired four improv artists to sing personalised songs via a live online video feed for almost 8 hours. People submitted their info via facebook and by answering a few questions, then 61 lucky people had a personalised song sung to them live. The campaign was used to help promote the already very successful GALAXY S III smartphone.

Parkinson’s: Shake Up Sydney

To raise awareness of Parkinson’s Disease for Shake it Up Australia Foundation, Ogilvy, Sydney, placed over 1000 wedges underneath coffee tables in Sydney so that the tables wobbled, re-enacting a common symptom of the disease – the shakes. Great work for a noble cause.

Volvo Trucks: The Ballerina Stunt

Great activation idea from Volvo Trucks. They got the World record-holding highliner Faith Dickey to walk across a line between two speeding trucks. The stunt filmed on an unopened highway in Croatia in cooperation with Hollywood stunt director Peter Pedrero.

Kenco Coffee: Kenneth the Talking Vending Machine

Another week, another talking vending machine, this time from Leo Burnett in London, for Kenco Millicano coffee. They set up a talking vending machine in Soho Square that cajoles, badgers and generally annoys passers-by into doing physical chores in exchange for free coffee. Done before, but I still like it.
