Spotted this great post on future receipt design mock-ups on Steve Clayton’s Blog. The design is from Berg London, and as well as the design being a lot more pleasant, they envisage other useful info being located on the receipt, such as food calorie count, relevant news snippets based on your shopping habits from Visa, Amex etc, and maybe even voucher codes.
Great integrated campaign for Doritos by AMV BBDO and The Glue Society. The video above shows the story of Esteban Ortega, aka the Dip Desperado and champion Doritos flicker. After seeing the ad you can play a Doritos flicking game on Facebook, as well as on a free iPhone app, and Android app to stand a chance to win big prizes.
Great work by Ogilvy Johannesburg for KFC. The ad was released this weekend in South Africa, and is the first of the local campaigns to use the new global “So Good” slogan.
The song is a cover of Elton John’s “Your Song” by Ellie Goulding.
Wonderful work by Bas van de Poel and Daan van Dam (http://wonderyears.nl). In order to get a job at an agency, they created the above idea that uses twitter profile pictures to get select agency creative directors to go to their website, see their work, and hopefully get a job. It worked! Well done chaps.

Stunningly simple and brilliant work for Wrigley’s Extra mint gum, by BBDO, Germany.
Based on the knowledge a lot of people stick their parking tickets in their mouth, Wrigley’s added a mint strip to the tickets and branded them at several parking lots.
Though I would share with you an interesting project that our interactive team at Ogilvy Cape Town recently created. For the launch of the new Audi A6 in SA they have created an interactive banner that allows you to ask questions about the car to Audi’s Product Marketing Manager, Rudi Venter. The mechanism directly emails him the question, and the reply is sent back to you and shared with other users live in the banner. The banner also resides on the Audi Facebook page. Great work guys.
p.s. I want the car
Wonderful short film from JW Griffiths telling the love story of a couple meeting up from New York and Paris through a split screen view. The chap recently won the Nokia Shorts 2011 competition, all entries had to be shot on a Nokia N8 and have a budget of under $5000.
Coca Cola and the WWF have teamed up to create this giant billboard in the Philippines made up of 3,600 Fukien tea plants, which help to absorb pollution. The Plants are contained in recycled Coke bottles and irrigated to keep them fresh and alive. Great work guys.
One of the things I love the most about working with Ogilvy are all the fascinating people I keep meeting/working with in the group. One of my biggest hero’s so far is our ECD (Ogilvy Cape Town’s Chief creative guru chap) Chris Gotz. Anyone who can constantly inspire you, is extremely clever, and always can make you laugh, is a top gent in my book.
Anyway, as tickets to the Cannes Lions are a little steep, Chris was the only one chosen from our agency to go and mingle MadMen style. During his trip he wrote a daily brilliant humorous overview of his trip, as well what work was hot, and what was not (I have added links to all the work). If you like laughing take a few minutes and see what he had to say here:
This above brilliant campaign from Walkers crisps was another big winner at this years Cannes Lions awards for Creative Effectiveness.
What I love about this short overview of the campaign is the way they got the client to explain it. I know it may seem like a small thing but I’m pretty sure if agencies spent more time making the client look like the rock stars then its much more likely your agency will be able to do great work in the future with less hassle + they will love you more, therefore retaining the client longer too. Anyway, that’s just my 2 cents.
Either way, Great work by BBDO London and Miranda Sambles from Walkers.
