Do you really notice 0.05%? Clearly not. However, what the financial world will do in order to avoid paying the 0.05% financial transaction tax is horrendous. Although small, this tiny tax could do so much good. With the support of famous German actress Heike Makatsch, Oxfam Germany underlines the importance of the tax and the stinginess of the bankers through M&C Saatchi, Berlin.

In order to provide everybody the chance to celebrate Friendship Day with a friend, Ogilvy & Mather Argentina developed with Huggies an original idea, putting together two infants to share this special day in a very particular way.
With Maximiliano Maddalena and Javier Mentasti as ECDs, the agency designed a special crib so that on Friendship Day two newborn babies could spend this event together. The idea was registered at the Bazterrica Clinic and was supported by the baby's parents, obstetricians and nurses.
In order to accompany each family during the last minutes before giving birth, the agency got involved with the obstetricians and couples who were expecting their babies to be born on Friendship Day. We shared with them the anxiety of all the previous preparations and their way to the hospital. Few hours after the babies were born, they both had their first friend right alongside.
The song and music are just perfect and really make the film that much better, if anyone has the song title please share.

A new print ad campaign for the automotive giant Ford makes fun of the everyday minivan man, and suggests they "Don't Be The Minivan Guy." Ford appears to be implying that if you drive the new sporty Ford S-Max Minivan you'll be cool. Correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't the S-Max still a minivan?
Maria Sharapova, the 25 year old tennis star just got herself into the candy business with the launch of "SugarPova". "I think it’s important that any venture, business or otherwise, feel authentic," said Sharapova amid the frenzy of launch day. "As a little girl, I was awarded a lollipop after a good practice...I’ve had a love affair with candy ever since."
So what make's SugarPova different from any other candy? "We felt that there was an unmet market need for a fun, flirty, feminine candy collection that felt luxurious but was also accessible. Most candy is marketed to children--but grown-up children need their candy too," says Sharapova.
Look for some fun flavors in the collection: Flirty, Cheeky, Quirky, Silly, Sassy and Chic with fashionable and sporty shapes...and lots and lots of sugar.
SugarPova identity and branding by the ad agencies Dentsu, New York and branding agency Red Antler.
To commemorate La-Z-Boy's 85th anniversary, the campaign includes a TV commercial promoting a national sales event. "We're excited about this promotional spot and feel it's the perfect time to invite customers to come see our collection of customizable home furnishings, including sofas, sectionals, ottomans and more," said Doug Collier, Chief Marketing Officer and President International at La-Z-Boy. "The anniversary commercial celebrates our 85-year history by having a little fun with Brooke and poking some fun at ourselves, while showing our beautiful and unexpected home furnishings."
La-Z-Boy's agency of record, RPA, teamed with @radical.media Director Dave Meyers to create four TV commercials, a pair of online videos, four national print ads and other digital content.
The first TV commercial, which started airing in early August, "Big Deal/Anniversary Sale," opens on Shields in the midst of an elegantly decorated living room, calmly discussing La-Z-Boy's 85th anniversary sale. "Eighty-five years, that's a really big deal," she says. "They don't need some loud ad that screams 'sale!'- just me telling you about the great deals on gorgeous furniture." Just then, horns trumpet, balloons drop from the ceiling and a nine-foot tall flashing sign lit up with "85th Anniversary Sale" slides across the set. "Guys, I thought we weren't doing this?" Shields asks with a confused yet playful and cheeky tone.
"For a household name, Brooke maintains a down-to-earth, relatable persona that's genuinely approachable," said RPA CD Jules Fox. "The situational humor used in the campaign plays on Brooke's lighthearted personality and appeals to the sensibilities of our target audience."
"Shut Up" introduces an incredulous neighbor who yells "Shut up!" and punches Shields every time she learns that a new piece of furniture came from La-Z-Boy, inspiring the spooked spokeswoman to begin replying to her inquiries via text message from a safe location. Late 2012, the TV campaign continues with "Elephant," which demonstrates the advantages of previewing purchases with La-Z-Boy's online customization tool and stars a life-sized computer-generated elephant, and later "Neighbor" will air featuring a binocular-wielding snoop who cannot fathom the beautiful living room is all made by La-Z-Boy.
The TV commercials will run on more than 30 cable networks in the U.S. and Canada, including HGTV, Food Network, Lifetime, Oxygen and USA. Two online videos, a Q&A with Shields where the actress talks openly about working with La-Z-Boy and a flipbook, which rapidly cascades through La-Z-Boy-designed rooms, will live on http://www.la-z-boy.com/. Print will appear in a variety of publications such as "Better Homes & Gardens," "Country Living" and "Martha Stewart Living" and online units will run as pre-roll or banners.
