Gatorade Has Evolved Commercial

Great new ad for Gatorade, features the song "Evolve", music is produced by David Banner and the artist's name is Quinn who is a member of the group, BLACKstreet. Gatorade Has Evolved shows how Gatorade has advanced hydration and sports performance and how the G Series will break new ground. The spot takes viewers back to a day when athletes balled on peach baskets, their racquets were wooden and hydration was only water. Jump to 1965 when Gatorade revolutionized hydration and helped fuel athletes like Michael Jordan and Mia Hamm as they redefined sports performance. Now in 2010, the G Series will change the sports performance landscape once again. Usain Bolt, Dwight Howard, and Peyton Manning were instrumental in working with Gatorade scientists during the development of the G Series.

Taylor Swift Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 "Fans" TV Commercial Ad

Sony Electronics has teamed up with four-time GRAMMY award-winning singer/songwriter Taylor Swift to promote its latest Cyber-shot® digital cameras in an integrated marketing campaign that puts the spotlight on the company’s latest innovations.

The ads with Swift zero in on the sleek and powerful Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 digital still camera and its intelligent iSweep Panorama feature that captures ultra-wide panoramic shots in one easy “press and sweep” motion; a technology innovation currently only available by Sony.

Primetime advertising spots featuring Swift discovering that she can capture the breadth of her audience with the new TX7 camera will start airing today on NBC, FOX and CW, accompanied by digital and print ads carried out through June. Sony will also spread the word about the new digital camera commercial through social networks.

“My fans are on the cutting edge, and I’m very interested in the newest and best technologies out there,” said Swift. “I’m super excited to be working with Sony and using the TX7 camera. The iSweep panorama mode is amazing.”

“This campaign with Swift and the TX7 camera is the start of a year-long campaign designed to demonstrate the quality, innovation, style and design that only Sony-branded products stand for,” said Stuart Redsun, Sony Electronics’ senior vice president, corporate marketing. “Sony is the only electronics company that creates entertainment and the only entertainment company that makes electronics. The ‘wow’ factor in our newest ad is clearly illustrated when Taylor puts the TX7 in action.”

“The campaign launches with Taylor Swift visiting Sony's Innovation Center to try out the new Cyber-shot,” noted Ari Weiss, Creative Director for 180 Los Angeles. “Throughout the year we’ll have different visitors drop in to experience the latest in Sony innovations. You may even see Justin Timberlake stop by.”

NHL History Will Be Made 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs Ad Campaign

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are heating up as the remaining NHL teams face off for the right to hoist the most famous trophy in all of sports in June. As intense as the current action is, the journey takes on even greater significance when the storied history of the NHL and the epic battles for the Cup are considered. Smoke & Mirrors, working via Y&R, played a key role in a stirring seven-spot campaign spotlighting some of the League’s all-time great players in their legendary moments of glory.
The spots are remarkable replays of these classic moments, portrayed in slow motion and in reverse, rendered so that the on-screen look captures the exact tone and feel of a particular era, and set to dramatic piano music. The New York Rangers’ Mark Messier triumphantly raises the Stanley Cup over his head. Bobby Orr emerges from a pile of fellow Boston Bruins to fly backward through time, scoring a dramatic airborne goal. The Detroit Red Wings’ Steve Yzerman scores a dramatic game-winning goal, a spot that begins in regular speed as the team celebrates and then kicks into slow-motion reverse until he’s poised to take a slap shot. Other spots feature Patrick Roy, Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky and Ray Bourque.

“What a joy to take the best moments in NHL history and be given the chance to help create something this cool,” noted Smoke & Mirrors CCO Sean Broughton. “As spectacular as this footage is in regular replays, the dramatic spots that our team came together to build are mesmerizing. They beautifully portray the game’s incredible history in a compelling way that would capture hockey fans and nonfans alike.”

The historic footage came from multiple formats and cameras and was of varying quality, presenting unique challenges. Smoke & Mirrors found a look to bind the various pieces together, then up-rezed to HD from SD. Some of the film had deteriorated into a state of disrepair, compelling the crew to clean the footage, strip out miscellaneous video tears and film gromits, and then hand the freshly restored footage off to their new Resolve 360 grading suite, where the legendary Ben Eagleton whipped up a beautiful grade that felt authentic and unified the footage.

In the Flame suite, Phil Akka and Brian Benson skillfully time warped the footage to create seamless slowdowns to reverses, creating brand new slow-motion sequences of the historic footage from scratch. To maintain the historic nature of these, Smoke & Mirrors added real film grain and the occasional scratch back in, being constant in nature to one footage source. Once the look and process had been established on one spot, the crew copied it for each film allowing for different quality issues with each piece of archival footage.

Great New Ad for The French Beverage Nouveau Oasis Thé

Fun new spot for Oasis The created by Pete Candeland, Passion Paris and ad agency Publicis.
Pete Candeland and Passion Paris inject some fruity fun into Oasis Thé with a new campaign from Publicis WAM. The director, famed for his work for virtual band Gorillaz, has created a summery set of spots to advertise the iced tea drink. The campaign sees a trio of fruity characters stumble upon a Land of The Lost-style tribe of tea leafs, and features the wit and energy characteristic of Candeland’s work.
Fast-moving and colourful, the campaign shows a lighter side to Candeland’s work, following the brooding menace of recent Gorillaz music video Shylo. It’s also the first time the multi-award winning director has shot a campaign specifically for the French market.
The campaign, which consists of a 10s, 30s and 45s spots, will be airing in France, Belgium and Holland across TV, cinema and the internet.

FELA! on Broadway "Dance of the Orisas" Promo Commercial

Art Meets Commerce is a new media advertising/marketing company servicing the theatrical industry. The agency recently commissioned the filmmakers at creative production company Shilo to produce a broadcast spot for the landmark Broadway musical "FELA!" as part of their integrated campaign for the show. Producers include Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Ruth and Stephen Hendel, and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson; it is directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Bill T. Jones. "FELA!" tells the true story of Fela Kuti, the legendary Nigerian musician, whose stirring Afrobeat rhythms ignited a generation. Having opened at New York's Eugene O'Neill Theatre last November, the production recently announced that FELA! will also be presented at the National Theatre in London in November 2011.

"What began here in New York now has people hyped all across America and Europe," said Andre Stringer, Shilo's co-founder and creative director, who directed this spot. "Working with Art Meets Commerce, we had the pleasure of filming star Sahr Ngaujah and many other performers to present a glimpse into the viscerality of the performance. The show itself is a postmodern interpretation of the artist and his time, so in keeping with that theme, our film continues the ideology of experimentation." Visit FELA on Broadway here.

The 5 Alive Come Alive With 5 Alive Advert Featuring The Dancing Dodo

MASSIVE RE-LAUNCH FOR 5 ALIVE IN 2010
5 Alive bursts back to life with a new look and integrated marketing campaign featuring a dancing Dodo.
CCGB has brought 5 Alive, the much loved fun, fruit packed, juice drink back to life with an exciting new look and integrated marketing campaign.
5 Alive which launched in the UK in 1981, will also introduce a new apple flavour, available in store from 9th April.
The creative brand campaign literally brings to life the strapline ‘Come Alive with 5 Alive’ as viewers see a Dodo brought back to life from extinction by 5 Alive. Set to the famous Don Fardon song "I’m Alive", the TVC brings the brand to British families in a fun, entertaining and spirited way.
Premiering in April, the new campaign created by VCCP, opens on a beautiful landscape of a Mauritian beach where washed up cartons of 5 Alive are scattered. The camera zooms in on a carton of 5 Alive Citrus, with its contents spilled out forming a pool in the sand. Suddenly we see something moving beneath the sand, then a head pops through the surface. It’s a Dodo! He shakes droplets of 5 Alive from his head and appears overjoyed that he’s back from extinction. In celebration of his new found freedom he starts to sing and dance. His bum shakes, his little wings flap and his head bangs to the beat of the music.
Supporting the campaign, all communications will direct consumers to http://www.dancing dodo.com a Facebook page that is the hub of the digital activity. Users will have the ability to view the new advert, buy the track (via iTunes) and read more about 5 Alive. There will also be apps to engage users including ‘Dodo your Photo’ and ‘Do you Dodo?’ challenging fans to upload videos of their own either via http://www.dancingdodo.com or YouTube.
Cathryn Sleight, Marketing Director for CCGB comments, “We know that consumers have a lot of latent love and awareness for 5 Alive and we wanted to create a campaign that was memorable, entertaining and would appeal to mums. In 2010 we will step change our investment and focus in the brand and have an ongoing commitment to building the brand through our communications, NPD and in-store activation. We are really pleased to be supporting this great juice drink from our portfolio.”

Axe Lynx Bullet The Pocket Pulling Power Billboard

The Axe Bullet with Pocket Pulling Power, that's right I said pocket pulling power took their advertising to a new level with a live billboard on Old Street in central London. The billboard features Lauren Budd and yes she is very real and that is really her up there in the jean pocket of the Axe Bullet billboard.
This was done last March, but after visiting The Denver Egotist's website today who posted this I just had to share it with everyone who might have missed it.

From JCDecaux Innovate's website:
Stunning model Lauren Budd gave commuters a thrill this morning as Lynx unveiled their first live billboard on JCDecaux’s Première 400 billboard at Old Street for the new pocket sized Lynx Bullet. The campaign was booked through Kinetic and Mindshare.

Pocket rocket Lauren stopped passers-by in their tracks as she invited guys to embrace on-the-go pulling by appearing on Lynx’s ‘Thrillboard’ in London’s Old Street. Standing in a denim pocket elevated above the famous East London Street, she called for a Pocket Pulling Power revolution. Hot Lynx girl Lauren was encouraging guys to never miss a pulling opportunity.

These sexy shots of Lauren thrilling people on their way to work are part of the nationwide launch of new Lynx Bullet – the UK’s first pocket sized grooming essential designed for 24/7 pulling.

The Lynx ‘Thrillboard’ is a first for the brand and Lauren was delighted to be posing in a pocket to launch this portable grooming essential.

Now who wouldn't just love to read a few quotes from Lauren Budd?
“Pocket Pulling Power is about giving guys an instant boost of the Lynx Effect with new Lynx Bullet so they never miss an opportunity.”

“I want British guys to be prepared for the ‘laydee’s’ day or night, 24/7, so they never miss an opportunity with new Lynx Bullet and Pocket Pulling Power.”

“Guys are always looking for an opportunity to pull - I get chatted up on the train, in shops and even when I’m in a pocket at 8am on Old Street!!”

“The opportunity to pose in a pocket for Lynx’s first live billboard was great fun. I felt like a real pocket rocket up there!”

Brilliant Ad for the Newport Beach Film Festival Magnifies "Epic Power of Film"

Two jaw-dropping spots for the 2010 Newport Beach Film Festival were recently created by ad agency RPA and the standout Tool of North America duo of Director Erich Joiner and two-time Academy Award®-winning DP Robert Richardson (Inglourious Basterds, Shutter Island, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & 2). Also recruited was Lost Planet Editor Hank Corwin (Natural Born Killers, JFK).

Famous for playing against the Orange County conservative stereotype, the Newport Beach Film Festival continues to build a distinctive personality for itself as a powerful player in the national film festival circuit.

"We are thrilled to be working with this incredible dream team of creatives and filmmakers who are all donating their valuable time," said Todd Quartararo, co-founder and director of marketing of the Newport Beach Film Festival. "The Festival will have more than 400 films and there is a lot of pressure to make sure our spots are of the same caliber as the incredible films we showcase. The end results are spots that surpass all expectations."

This year's advertising thematically illustrates how a film festival can be the catalyst for a small idea to make it to the big time. The spots, set on ultra-wide sweeping landscapes, speak to the epic power of film. The stories, inspired by the genres of drama and romance, begin with simple scenes that grow exponentially through a series of dramatic reveals that crescendo with the title "where stories make it big."

"Drama" begins with a clash of tiny weapons wielded by action figures held by two young boys and quickly escalates into a full-on airborne artillery attack. Public VFX is credited for the creation of the 3-D computer-generated imagery of military forces; indie artist Glorious Monster provides bombastic music backup.

"Romance," set to the Magnetic Fields' woeful masterpiece "Busby Berkeley Dreams," opens on two pinky fingers interlocked by a shy couple through a series of romantic exchanges that intensify to become a no-holds-barred fetish scene. The sexy cast features Rena Riffle (Showgirls), famed dominatrix Olivia Bellafontaine, and dancer/choreographer Carlton Wilborn, credited for his work with Madonna on the Blond Ambition Tour and The Girlie Show.

"When RPA first sent me the boards, I immediately knew the direction that I wanted to take, and the team I wanted to have with us. Since I'd worked on a campaign for the Festival a few years ago, and I have worked with the creatives at the agency many, many times, we were all very comfortable and confident with each other right from the first call. Bob (Richardson) did an amazing job shooting `day for night' in `Romance,' and his idea of shooting `Drama' black and white was spot on. Hank's (Corwin) an amazing talent and we were really lucky both his and Bob's schedules aligned-both were set to do other projects. I wouldn't have wanted to do it with another team and I think the end result showcases the creative shorthand we share," Joiner commented.

"It's my sixth year collaborating with the Festival, and this year's it's been an incredible journey from the little doodle that Laura (Hauseman, art director) created to what we have before us. That's what happens when plenty of brilliant people are left to do their thing," said Scott McDonald, creative director at RPA.

The 8-day festival, April 22-29, will screen the spots in-theater. "Drama" will first air on local cable on April 5. "Romance," too risqué for television, will air online and in-theater.

Since its beginnings, the Festival has launched countless acclaimed films. In 2006, the Festival catapulted onto the national landscape with the U.S. premiere of Crash. The tradition continues, and last year's Festival lineup boasted several 2010 Oscar® nominees and winners. As a result, the Newport Beach Film Festival has gained recognition from both filmmakers and audiences and currently attracts more than 50,000 patrons.

Burger King BK Ad "The Kings Gone Crazy"

The newest ad for Burger King featuring the BK King going a little crazy seems to have upset the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Michael Fitzpatrick, executive director for Arlington, VA's National Alliance on Mental Illness, was quoted in the Washington Post saying spot is "blatantly offensive", adding, "I was stunned. Absolutely stunned and appalled."
Burger Kings response: "The creative concepts used to bring this to life were meant to highlight the King's unchecked enthusiasm about giving his guests a Steakhouse-quality sandwich at a great price and were not intended to reflect any group or situation." I just liked the ad and found nothing offensive about it.
