Head and Shoulders Print Ads by Saatchi

This is why Saatchi & Saatchi are the creme de le creme of advertising firms, three great new print ad posters for Head & Shoulders created by Patrick Ackmann and Richard Wilkinson for Saatchi Germany. The posters are brilliantly illustrated with the tag lines "Some Things Even We Can't Get Out Of Your Head". The ads titled Granny, Chicken and Dog are not really images that far fetched and I would have to say I've experienced all three situations. I think we have an award winning ad already this year.

Get Dunked On by Patrick Chewing Snickers Ad with Ewing

Patrick Ewing in the new Snickers commercial, "Get Dunked On By Patrick Chewing" is one funny commercial. Its been some time since I've seen Patrick Ewing or a good Snickers commercial and the wait was worth it after seeing this 15 second spot by TBWA/Chiat/Day, New York.

The two lines are priceless, "Patrick?" and then "Whats up Brian?". Amazing just how effective a 15 second commercial can be when its done right. Thumbs up to the creatives behind the Snickers ad and to Ewing for the impact, thats what I call a slam dunk, I hope someone checked on the guy eating the snickers bar...he is OK right?

Axe The Fixer Show

Axe shower gel and bodyspray newest commercial and marketing campaign is one funny commercial. Axe launched a new website The Fixers dot com, where friends can pull pranks and upload the images or videos on the Axe Fixers website. Below is the viral spot promoting the deal. Funny commercial and a smart marketing campaign, this clip is called "The Odyssey" and worth the time, I love it.
Via: Adgabber.com
"Axe will fix you up" no matter how messy everything else around you gets. More interestingly though, The ad is full of links to thefixers.com which I only managed to catch once without having to pause the commercial.

The Fixers is a fake talk show about questionable hook-ups and pranks on your friends. It's a funny commercial, but Axe never had a problem being funny.

New Zippo Print Ads With an Environmental Edge

A series of new print ads for Zippo lighters pulls the environmental guilt card on disposable lighters. These ads go after the disposable lighter market with Zippo giving itself the green product edge over disposables.
Smart campaign and the tag line works: "Disposable. Just another word for garbage." I have to give Zippo some credit here, the idea is smart and makes the point loud and clear.
Not the most creative ads, but the message is loud and clear that if a lighter is a need then Zippo is the greener choice.
Zippo print ads are the work of the Brunner ad Agency in Pittsburg. I try to stay clear of the green ads and most of the environmental claims in advertising campaigns, I think these are good and worthy of some credit.

Morgan Freeman Visa "Aquarium" Commercial

The new Visa Go commercial advertising campaign Aquarium by the TBWA/Chait/Day ad agency creates a visually pleasing new commercial narrated by Morgan Freeman. In the spot Freeman asks us when the last time was went to the "Aquarium" with our daughter, the ad is obviously aimed at the 30 to 40 something men with their Visa cards in their wallets.
The music in the Visa GO Aquarium commercial is by The Moody Blues and the song is called Tuesday Afternoon, it was released back in 1967, but didn't become a hit until 1972, for those of us old enough to know the song you'll remember how we never went a Tuesday without hearing this on the radio.

One focuses on the unsurpassed fuel economy of the four-cylinder gas-powered Fusion sedan. Another spotlights the advanced hybrid-electric technology available in the new Fusion Hybrid, which delivers 41mpg city and a range up to 700 miles on a single tank of gas. And the third ad focuses on the smart, voice-activated SYNC technology, which is available on all Fusion models.

Blackberry vs Apple in Rejected Ad Campaign

A commercial for the BlackBerry Storm, that was rejected by RIM for being confrontational, is instead becoming a viral master piece spreading itself very quickly online. The 20 second clip features a blackberry being shot through an apple. The Blackberry Storm vs Apple was created by New York advertising agency Guava, in my opinion they never had any intention to actually run this spot on TV but to create the hype and have it go viral instead, mission accomplished.

Credit for the Blackberry shots a bullet through the Apple spot go to the advertising agency Guava in NY. Whatever the deal surrounding the spot really is, who cares this is great a campaign.

Hush Studio Creates Integrated User Experience for Sony W995

New campaign for the Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman phone, the integrated user experience is the work of Hush, a New York based content creation studio.

Official press release via Trust:
HUSH was at the center of every aspect of the project, from writing the concept and story, to establishing the visual tone, and executing the spot airing on every Walkman W995 phone. Additional mobile content like video ring tones, sounds, wallpaper graphics and screensavers were carefully interwoven by HUSH's expert team of designers and developers to create a sense of cohesiveness within the overall branding campaign.

"It is important to Sony Ericsson to deliver an energized user experience to the consumer with each phone and with W995 we have created a phone with a multitude of applications and features and our close cooperation with HUSH has created an integrated campaign," says Johan Bornhager, Content Planner at Sony Ericsson.

HUSH will roll out a vivid character-based spot to spearhead the campaign, which offers a twisted take on the break-dancing film genre. Animated characters from two "crews" engage in a dance-off that goes haywire. Irreverent. Humorous. Youthful. Music-driven.

"The most important part of the campaign was to create an imaginative and unexpected thematic message that could be expressed in both the spot and the phone itself," expressed HUSH Co-Founder/ Creative Director David Schwarz. "We have incredible creative talent on our team, and we produced an overall campaign that was distinctly cutting edge while honoring the legacy of the Sony Ericsson brand."

A final component of the W995 launch will be an online feature, which HUSH will be instrumental in executing and seeding in collaboration with Sony Ericsson.

"This project was an incredible opportunity for us to showcase our exciting roster of talent in one integrated project," said HUSH Executive Producer Casey Steele. "As we establish the studio as a one-stop go-to shop capable of handling complex, multifaceted branding campaigns, it's important that we continue to work with respected brands such as Sony Ericsson."
