Using these tools, Bogusky and Winsor have successfully marketed some of today’s most important brands, including Google, Nike, Microsoft, Patagonia, Toyota, and Burger King.

Mr. Sub Surprise Not Everyone Likes Surprises Funny New Commercial Campaign
New commercials for my favorite sandwich shop Mr. Sub, Surprise. The "Not Everyone Likes Surprises" campaign is a collection of three funny commercials featuring a groom who finds his father making out with his bride-to-be; a leather-clad husband trying to spice up his marriage only to shock his wife who happens to be wielding a cast iron pan; and a father of eight who decides to announce his change in sexual preference during an intimate family dinner.
Gary Watson, Co-Creative Director of BOS Toronto the ad agency behind these great spots comments: "I’ve been eating at Mr. Sub since I was a teenager and an assorted sub tastes as good today as it did decades ago. The insight for this campaign about "no surprises" comes right out of the product itself,". Chad Borlase, Co-Creative Director added, "To set up this positioning, we chose to show situations where surprises weren’t so welcome. And of course, using humour was a natural."
Great work gentlemen, you got me craving an Assorted Sub now too!

As every restaurants have their closing hours. We feel that this is a great opportunity for McDonald’s to communicate the new 24 hours service. McDonald’s places a night image of its restaurant onto the pull-down shutter of various restaurants. Once the shutter is pulled down after the restaurant’s operating hours, passer by will see an image of a McDonald’s in late hours. This is to deliver the message that while other restaurants are closed, one can enjoy good meal at McDonald’s 24 hours a day.

Generation A: 10 Questions for Douglas Coupland
A Q and A with Gary Thomas, Crush Creative Director, on the Generation A films and the new book Generation A by Douglas Coupland. via: Glossy Inc.
In both campaigns we let the content of the books drive our creative. The books are quite different, structurally and thematically. We had Doug this time, and since the characters in Generation A are all isolated and asked a series of seemingly random questions by a disembodied voice, we decided to subject Doug to the same experience.
How involved was Douglas Coupland?
He liked the premise, and let us take it and run with it, similarly to The Gum Thief pieces. He followed the progress as we worked and added his input, which was always really considered.
Tell me about the shoot day.
David Hicks (director from Sons and Daughters), Stefan Woronko (Crush’s Art Director) and I went out to Vancouver on a Friday at the end of July, had a prep day at Doug’s studio (the location), and then shot Sunday from 10:30 in the morning until 4:00.
Tell me about the animated segments in the films.
We love interpreting Doug’s writing visually, and had a really good time with The Gum Thief stuff. We didn’t do as much this time, because the piece was more about Doug, but still wanted to do some. We included two stand-alone animation pieces to accompany the main film. The first one is an excerpt where one of the characters in the book helps himself sleep by reciting paint colour names from the Martha Stewart catalogue. Stefan opted for a simple, graphic treatment. He also did the voice over.
The Tragic Death of Channel Three screamed for a graphic novel treatment because of its lurid subject matter. Yoho Yue designed the panels and animated in After Effects along with Sean Cochrane and Kaelem Cahill. We wanted the piece to have a really basic feel, almost like an animatic.
I hear you used a lot of recourses at Crush, including your sister company Sons and Daughters and; numerous staff members in cameos. Tell me about that.
With all our little side projects we use as many in-house resources as we can. We usually edit at Crush Cuts, our offline edit house. Kim Knight is a fantastic editor, (she cut the R.E.M. Man-Sized Wreath video last year). This time David Hicks, who is one of our partners, came to us when he heard we were working with Doug, and asked if he could help. David is a really busy commercials director, and was formerly one of the top editors in Canada. We jumped at the chance to work with David. He was great on the day, is great with people, and got something really filmic from our day at the studio. He also did the fantastic edit of the live material.
We also made three ads for a fictitious Channel three News team (which makes sense when you read the book). Once again, we did an internal casting session within Crush, our sister companies and alumni and put together the very convincing News Team you see in the final piece. Stefan drew on his years in the City TV empire to create the on air look.

Advertising People | Who is Glyn M. Owen
What makes an ad campaign great? Aside from the obvious creative directors, art directors or the production team, we rarely give enough to credit to the music composers behind some of our favorite campaigns. From my own experience here at Great-Ads, I regularly receive emails from individuals wanting to know who composed/sings or song credits for many of the ads here on the site and they are not always the easiest credits to find. With that in mind a new section devoted to Media/Music Composers begins.
Who is Glyn M. Owen?
Glyn studied at the Royal College of Music and now works as a media composer from his studio near London, England. His clients include Audi, BMW, Disney, O2, Schwarzkopf, T-Mobile and Volvo. Glyn writes in many musical styles not only in the world of advertising but also in music branding for companies such as ITV and SKY in the UK and further afield with ETV and MBC in the Middle East, SBS and NED 2 in Holland and POLSAT TV and TV ROSSIYA in Eastern Europe.More recently he composed music to launch BMW’s new X6 for this promo clip titled "Experience"(video below) and earlier this year he was commissioned to write a 50’s style song for Braun’s ‘'Mafia’' commercial filmed especially for the Cannes Lions Festival 2009 (see it here on Youtube).
He has won numerous awards including a Cannes Lions Gold for Olympus’ "Red Eyed Baby" (see it here) and "Distorted Dogs" (see it here) and a Silver award for Volvo/Disney’s The Hunt "At World’s End" and "Dead Man's Chest" commercials (see it here).
Glyn also writes for the EMI and KPM Music libraries. For more info on Glyn M.Owen or to contact him directly visit his website at http://www.glynmowen.com.

Allan Gray Investments James Dean "Legend" Advert
Allan Gray Investments uses the legend of James Dean in their newest advertising campaign. I don't get the connection, but the ad agency King James had this to say about the commercial:

Allan Gray surmises how much more could have been achieved by the Legend had James Dean had more time.
In all my years of advertising, I have never seen a treatment that was so detailed, so carefully thought through, and so deeply researched, than the treatment Keith gave us when pitching to handle this commercial. From beginning to end, his commitment to the job bordered on obsession." says Alistair King, Executive Creative Director at King James.
"This was an incredibly challenging board, says Rose. You just take it for granted that James Dean is so iconic, so to go and mess with him and replan his life, if it doesnt work its like youre desecrating his memory."
We really needed to deal with it with sensitivity. According to Karin Barry-McCormack and Paige Nick, the creative team from King James; "For both of us, this was without a doubt the most exciting, challenging and intricate television project we have ever worked on. And it was amazing to work so closely with such a passionate team and such a collaborative client."

Know Your Girls - The Yoplait Pledge
Know your girls. Lower your risk. Take the pledge.
Yoplait has raised over $22 million for breast cancer over a period of 10+ years. This year the dairy producer created the "Yoplait Pledge", bringing an element of the social media into their campaign.
The question they asked themselves, "How do you target a campaign to one million 22-year-old girls about breast cancer? More importantly, how do you get them to listen"? They hired Publicis Modem, New York to craft a bold, digital educational campaign to educate the Gen Y demographic, and went to the streets of Facebook with anything but a marketing campaign. Not only was the campaigns use of a quiz on Facebook bold, but some of the applications went beyond Facebooks current functionality they even locked out boys.

Boudicca | Fashion and Creativity
Finally a fashion industry campaign I like.
Boudicca, Typhoon CP shot live action sequences using a motion control rig, a unique system with its circular dolly track. The film constructs a ‘dress’ around a bare mannequin, with the dress simply growing and evolving; the folds, strands, creepers and swirls of the ‘dress’ being enhanced with 3D CGI. The final piece of animation turns the screen black allowing for the Boudicca Platform 13 logo and Magpies to emerge white over the black frame. Using a motion control rig enabled each pass to be shot in live action which allowed control of the animation transition in edit and the speed dynamics and duration of the film could be lengthened and shortened, to accommodate the various media platforms Boudicca hope to use the film for.
The result, a radically creative film showcasing the expression of couture fashion, Typhoon CP and UNIT created a visually stunning campaign that reflects the brand’s bold image.Boudicca, Typhoon CP shot live action sequences using a motion control rig, a unique system with its circular dolly track.

Good News Windows 7 Commercial
The star of the new Windows 7 commercial is Kylie, who seems to have become Microsoft's poster child for Windows. She first appeared in a Windows commercial earlier this year, plugging the Windows Live Photo Gallery, now Kylie takes all the happy words about Windows 7 and makes them happier in her very own slide show.
Windows 7 much like Windows Vista will do nothing for me but the commercial is great, thanks to little Kylie, the reviews are meaningless Kylie does all the work in this commercial.

Pamela Anderson Stars in new Banned Peta Commercial Video
Pamela Anderson stars in a new video for Peta, the latest Peta ad titled "Cruelty Doesn't Fly". Anderson plays a security guard in the spot and dons an airport security-guard outfit and strips traveler's of their fashion faux pas animal skins. The video also stars, Steve-O, punk rocker Nina Hagen and famous comedian Andy Dick. Leave it to Peta and their commercials to leave us scratching our heads. Continue reading after watching the ad they rejected this ad from being shown at some US airports.
Despite the ban, Pamela Anderson is still planning to speak out against animal cruelty and wants to pitch the commercial to the likes of Sir Richard Branson.
Don't tell me they were surprised at the reaction.

The spots pay homage to the theatrical classic musical West Side Story, featuring show host Russell Brand and VMA-nominated musicians performing a recreation of the signature tune Tonight throughout a series of original Manhattan sets.
The spots were produced individually and then edited together as one fully-mixed anthem. Each have a distinct look and feature some of the biggest names in the music business belting out a hope-filled tune in anticipation of the night ahead. Ne-Yo, in classic Michael Jackson-style attire dances his way through a graffiti-laced junkyard. Swanky Katy Perry hustles up an attitude in a rooftop garden. Glamorous Taylor Swift sings in the rain out of the open window of a taxi. Cobra Starship slams through the Subway in a musical parade while Leighton Meester sings on the steps. And a cane-swinging Russell Brand sings about the awaiting night's events through the city's gritty backstreets. Each of the bits uses the network's iconic spaceman statuettes, a hallmark of the VMAs since their inception.

New Scion tC Brand Manifesto TV Campaign
Attik continues creating great advertising for Scion.
"With this new Brand Manifesto campaign, we set out to re-introduce Scion to young, urban consumers by reinforcing the company's unique position as an authentic brand that is all about creativity and individuality," said ATTIK's co-founder and creative director Simon Needham.
Working with Scion, Needham and his colleagues created numerous manifestos that appear in model-specific campaign assets, each featuring its own font, style treatment and set of manifestos reflecting the vehicle's unique personality.
. xD: the aggressive and edgy subcompact five-door: "Create a following by never following" and "Stand with us by standing out"
. xB: the urban utility vehicle with an iconic shape: "Be an icon, not an imitation" and "Be the original, not the copy"
. tC: the exciting sports coupe: "Tear it up, don't rip it off" and "Always zag when others zig"
With "Become one of us by becoming none of us" serving as a recurring manifesto for all of the Scion models, the campaign encourages individuals to be true to themselves by being original and never following.
The campaign's first :30 broadcast spot, entitled "xD Explosion," began broadcast and cable rotation on July 4 to synchronize with xD-themed print ads appearing in the July issues of several targeted monthly publications. The campaign's out-of-home billboards for all three models also went live in key cities across the country on July 1, and new broadcast and print elements for the xB broke in August, while those for the tC debuted this month.
July 16 marked the launch of two key campaign assets: custom microsites offering audiences innovative ways to participate in Brand Manifesto. The first, Pixel Reveal (www.scionreveal.com), invited visitors to register to win a highly customized Scion worth over $34,000, and to visit the site every day to remove more pixels; as the number of registrant and daily visits climbed, the million-pixel site revealed more of the grand prize Scion, which was awarded to the registrant revealing the last pixel. The second site, entitled Speechifier, allowed visitors to enter their own manifestos to automatically generate video versions of their messages using a montage of video clips. Personal manifestos created at the site could then be embedded into social media sites.
"With this Brand Manifesto campaign, we are inviting even more trendleading, creative individuals to participate in the brand's unique philosophy of 'vehicle as self-expression,'" said Needham. "While our United by Individuality campaign celebrated Scion owners for their individuality, Brand Manifesto aims to attract even more creative trendleaders into the Scion family."
"The Scion brand has always inspired creativity and embraced individuality," said Jack Hollis, Scion vice president. "The daring manifestos will authentically reach out to a younger audience that is on the cutting edge of culture…challenging them to be original and unique--to be an individual."
Needham directed July's edgy xD "Explosion" spot, as well as the brand new tC "Streak," in conjunction with Shilo, while he teamed with Imaginary Forces to direct xB "Splicer." All three spots have been finished by the artists at Method Studios, and feature custom scores from Face the Music. "Shilo really impressed us with their past work on 'Fable' and numerous other Scion creative projects, as did Imaginary Forces on the recent Samples campaign spots," Needham explained. "Method has added a lot of realism to the incredible CGI content, and our friends at Face the Music are proven partners when it comes to creating phenomenal sound treatments to represent Scion and its models." via: Roger Darnell DWA for ATTIK

"The Making Of" Don't Text and Drive PSA Behind the Scenes
Don't Text and Drive "the making of" the car crash effects and how they were put together for the British Text and Drive PSA from Wales that has made headlines throughout the world.
By Christine Clarke on September 3rd, 2009 via: BoardsMag
Ad exec Donny Deutch called it the most powerful PSA ever made, while US broadcasters are debating whether it is too graphic to be shown on TV. The Gwent Police Department’s curiously and assertively titled, “Cow - The Film That Will Stop You Texting and Driving” is making headlines worldwide, and all of the press is focused on the film’s intensely violent depiction of a road accident - initiated by a trio of distracted girls, one texting while driving - that leaves many of the involved motorists dead and the survivors’ severely traumatized.
The project began around 14 years ago when Tredegar Comprehensive School in Wales asked director Peter Watkins-Hughes to make a PSA called Lucky Luke, depicting the consequences of joyriding. Watkins-Hughes, who also lectures on the subject of documentary film and television for the Newport School of Art, Media and Design, was tasked by the school with updating Lucky Luke for a contemporary audience. Soliciting input from students, and bringing the Gwent Police Department on board, he realized that joyriding was now replaced by texting as the biggest issue facing young drivers while on the road.
The four-minute clip, part of a larger half-hour film which will be broadcast on the BBC, is unrelenting in its depiction of the crash. This isn’t a glossed-up, Hollywood-ized version of a crash, however. Filmed on a shoestring £10,000 budget and only a few thousand pounds allotted for the effects work (completed by Welsh company Zipline Creative), the PSA is no-nonsense grit.
As is par for the course, the “concerned adult” sector is questioning the level of violence, but in actuality it was the students the director worked with who pressed him to depict the brutal truth.
“With the crash scene in particular, we were taking the edit back to the youth and they were consistently telling us, make it more realistic, make it more graphic because that’s how to reach the audience,” says Watkins-Hughes, who auditioned 300 Welsh youth for the film. “It’s interesting, this debate about the shock factor, because actually you have the young generation saying, ‘We don’t know the realities of car crash. If you show us the reality it’d actually have more impact than trying to be clever.’”
In attempting to authentically construct that reality, Watkins-Hughes consulted emergency services workers who noted that a nightmarish situation they consistently face in a collision is the serious injury or death of parents, while their child is left relatively unharmed in the backseat.
“That stayed with me and I was determined to have that in the film,” explains Watkins-Hughes. “The little boy crying, ‘Mummy, Daddy please wake up’ in that scene is my own son Henry. So whenever I see the clip it has a particular emotional resonance for me and my wife has to leave the room whenever it plays.”
Watkins-Hughes says it’s that emotional resonance coupled with the shock factor that has made the PSA successful. It’s racked up more than one million views on YouTube, despite the over-18 viewing restriction, and Watkins-Hughes has fielded calls from media outlets in Europe and Australia, as well as The New York Times and The Washington Post. The US military’s driving schools unit has even requested the clip to show to its personnel.
Still, the main target was young British drivers.
“Road traffic deaths are the biggest killer of young people in the UK aged 13 - 35. Increasingly mobile phones are involved in these accidents,” says Watkins-Hughes. “Why give up your own life just to tell somebody you’re going to be 5 minutes late? It doesn’t seem like a fair contract for me. In this country driving while using a mobile phone is illegal, but most young people don’t understand why that is. What this film does is it makes the rationale behind the law much clearer.”
