DBSA | 2010

O DBSA (Development Bank of Southern Africa) está usando um apelo sincero de que o país está cada vez mais auto-sustentável no avanço de todas as áreas. E é essa sustentabilidade, unida ao trabalho sólido do Banco, que a Copa do Mundo de 2010 será um sucesso no país. Pelo menos é isso que prevê a campanha institucional do DBSA.

Assistam a um dos filmes brilhantes desta campanha, intitulado “2010″, e criado pela The Agency:

Obama Can’t Sell Stimulus Without TV Ads

Since the start of the general election, Barack Obama spent $11 million per week communicating with voters through TV.

Colgate Gives You Fresh Breath That Turns You On

The name of this commercial, Naughty Boy, and the tagline, “Fresh breath that turns you on,” might lead one to believe Colgate has added some sort of aphrodisiac to its toothpaste.

E tome mídia espontânea para a Cadbury

Já que falei hoje de uma paródia do mais recente comercial da Cadbury, vamos a mais uma. Foi feita no programa do Channel 4 inglês, Sunday Night Project, ontem a noite.

Lily Allen se junta aos apresentadores Justin Lee e Alan Carr para gravar suas próprias versões dos filmes da marca de chocolates, “Eyebrown Dancing” e “Gorilla”.

Se pensarmos no tamanho da mídia espontânea que esses comerciais conseguem, podemos imaginar que caminho a publicidade deve seguir. Além de se espalharem na internet de maneira avassaladora, ainda ganham esse destaque em programas de massa.

Reparem, logo no início do vídeo, no momento em que o apresentador Justin Lee pergunta para o auditório se alguém conhece o novo comercial da Cadbury. E depois tem quem ainda questione: “Mas e o conceito? É alegria, e só? Isso vai vender o produto?”. Toma, engole esse conceito aí:

Tá, eu confesso que vai ser difícil um anunciante competir com a criatividade imposta pela Kibon na ação “iPod no Palito“. Mas a idéia brilhante da Y&R de Bangkok, na Tailândia, não é pra ser ignorada.

A ação, promovida para a Colgate, tinha o propósito de fazer as crianças recordarem da importância de escovar os dentes após comerem doces. Para conseguir isso, ou pelo menos tentar, vários palitos de picolés e pirulitos foram redesenhados com a forma de uma escova de dente, e a mensagem impressa “Don’t Forget” (Não se esqueça).
