Kulula: Official Posh new Boeing Launch
I’m always a big fan of the King James work for Kulula, and this one is extra special. To celebrate the launch of their new Boeing 737-800 they hosted a champagne reception in the sky + more surprises for their first passengers. Entertainment included gifts for everyone, a welcoming band, a live opera performance at 30,000ft, and some entertaining celebrity guests. Great work!
Bonus: See how Boeing built this very plane in a 2min time lapse clip covering the 11 day build http://youtu.be/mkvaEpDZJIo
Gillette: Step Up For Gold
More great Olympic themed activation work from Gillette for their new Fusion ProGlide Golden Edition razor. To celebrate the Olympics, they placed a winner’s podium in the middle of a store, in order to reach for the razors, shoppers had to stand on the winners podium, when they did they got a big surprise. Great work.
Gillette: Light It Up
Impressive water projection work from BBDO, New York, USA for Gillette’s new Fusion ProGlide razors, on a side note if you shave, get one, they are brilliant.
Nando’s: Souperstars
Nando’s don’t just make funny ads and fine chicken meals, they also help feed the homeless and those in disadvantaged communities. I know technically this isn’t an ad, but its always great to see brands stepping up and making a difference to people’s lives. Great work, for more go to http://www.souperstars.co.za
Noah: Sealkiller Killer
Another great piece of activation work from : Jung von Matt neue Elbe, Germany, this time for an anti seal clubbing organisation called NOAH. They produced an outdoor billboard with strong magnets attached to the back, and a picture of a person about to club a seal, the billboard asked people to throw their change at the poster to block the seal hater.
Intel: Me The Musical
Nice facebook idea from Intel that follows up on their brilliant Museum of Me facebook app from last year. This time they bring your timeline to life through a brief personalised look at the evolution of music through your lifetime. Try it at http://www.intel.com/musical.
Nike: Find Your Greatness
Great work by Wieden & Kennedy for Nike. In a slight poke at the Athlete focused Adidas official Olympics sponsors ads, Nike have taken a more down to earth approach, the everyday athletes. I like it.
Jimmy Kimmel: Celebrities Read Mean Tweets
Jimmy Kimmel recently got celebrities to read out real tweets that insulted them. In the online world too often people tweet with out thinking, this clip aims to show (in a light-hearted way)that these are real people with real feelings. In a world where snark is celebrated, this fact seems to be easily forgotten.
