Sony VAIO Feel Something TV Spot

greatads.sylvia@gmail.com (Sylvia G) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:43:00 +0000

What if technology could make you feel…

The TV execution is a tribute to the five senses. The spot opens with the campaign line, ”What if technology could make you feel…” then cuts in a rapid-fire pace through a series of moments featuring people surrendering to sensory experiences—whether it’s getting lost in the sensation of the wind through one’s hair or the simple, unexpected impact of a tear trailing down a face. The spot resolves on the ending of the campaign line, “…more human.” Shot on location in São Paulo, the commercial was helmed by renowned Brazilian director Bia Flecha of Brasileira Filmes.
Thanks to Ads Of The World for making the spot available.

Campbell Soup The Giant 32 Foot Noodle Billboard in Times Square 'Slurp' Campaign

greatads.sylvia@gmail.com (Sylvia G) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:58:00 +0000

Campbell Soup erects a giant billboard in Times Square to let the world know there are 32 feet of egg noodles in every can of chicken-noodle soup, pretty cool huh? They make their point, compliments of the ad agency BBDO, New York, by using a chicken-noodle-soup billboard in Times Square portraying a 54-foot noodle emerging from the bowl while a mannequin in a red-and-white shirt appears to be slurping it from a window three stories above.
"We wanted to remind people how the soup they love more than any other is full of the stuff they love most," Eric Christianson, business director- Campbell's condensed soups, said in a statement. "Our TV commercial, 'Slurp,' as well as our print ads, use the billboard and giant noodle imagery to drive home the value we offer in each can. It just made sense to bring that same idea to life with a real billboard above one of the busiest intersections in the world."

Heineken "Green is the New Black" viveverde

greatads.sylvia@gmail.com (Sylvia G) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:27:00 +0000

The Brief: To create an environmental program and a tactical effort to launch. Make it attractive and relevant so the target felt compelled to get involved in the environmental movement.

The Execution: Create the Heineken Green Bag, a re-usable grocery bag made of non-recyclable discarded material from Heineken billboards. A local micro-enterprise of seamstresses crafted them. While we tackled the damaging plastic bag situation, we gave a better use to our trash and helped the micro-enterprise. The bags are being sold on Heinekencity.com, the brand's website and other boutiques.

The Result: The Heineken Green Bags became an instant environmental and fashion statement. The first batch of bags was sold out in a few days. Consumers become a walking billboard for Heineken when they shop with the bag. It's an on-going, self-sustainable project.

The Money Trail - No Matter Where It's Been They Will Do Good With Your Donation

greatads.sylvia@gmail.com (Sylvia G) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 21:58:00 +0000

An entertaining visual journey of a banknote. Germany's Heart's Desire Association had this ad created to express that no matter where that banknote has been, if you decide to donate it, they will do good with it.
The seedy beginnings of this commercial takes a banknote from a peeler bar, to the hands of g-string wearing dancer, a robbery, and then a drug dealer (busy commercial isn't it?) who takes his earnings to a poker game only to lose that bill to a cocaine addict who carelessly lets this adventurous banknote fly out the window of his limo, where it blows through the streets to end up at the feet of a passerby who finds it; and finally gives this banknote the happy ending it deserves...in the donation box of the Heart's Desire Association. Wow, that was a mouth full...and one great ad.
Consider who this ad was created for - "Herzenswünsche e.V.Every banknote has its story. With us it has a happy ending - Hearts Desire Association - We help the ill find their hearts desire."

Volvo S60 Blind Preview Trailer with Blind Artisit Esref Armagan

Volvo invited blind artist Esref Armagan to Sweden to paint his vision of the new Volvo S60 which will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. This is a preview trailer to for the project, "Blind Preview".The story line reads: There's more to life than a Volvo. That's why we wont show you our all-new S60. Instead, we asked an artist to show. The spot goes on to tell us a bit about the incredible Turkish born Armagan who was born blind, who promises not to look. Should be interesting to watch this campaign in the coming weeks.

Sexiness For Everyone Everywhere Liaison Dangereuse Ad with Miriam Wimmer

greatads.sylvia@gmail.com (Sylvia G) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:35:00 +0000

An absolutely brilliant new commercial/ad campaign for the German lingerie shop Liaison Dangereuse. The spot is both sexy and risky but it works beautifully. You can only hate this ad for all the wrong reasons, personally, I think this is an award winning ad and it couldn’t have been done any better, but what do I know.

Miriam Wimmer is the German model/actress in the ad and she truly is stunning. She has also modeled for famous brands such as Puma, Adidas, Polo Sport, Chio chips, Think Pink, Ralph Lauren, Rena Lange, and McDonald's.
Liaison Dangereuse is the most exclusive Online-Lingerie-Store in Germany. Their claim is "Sexiness for everyone. Everywhere." And they really mean "everyone!"
