Johnnie Walker | Black Label

Para contar a história e o processo de produção de seu Johnnie Walker Black Label, a Diageo colocou no ar um novo site. Baseado em vídeo, o homem que não para de andar mostra as diversas camadas para se chegar a composição final, com micro-interações do usuário entre os capítulos.

Eu não sou fã desse tipo de conteúdo tão focado em produto, mas certamente deve agradar os apreciadores de whisky.

A criação é da Wunderman, com produção da colmeia.

The Beauty of Being Small


Our aims for the agency are pretty basic. Do great work. Have fun. Make money. You will notice that "take over the world" is not on that list. Many of us have spent time at one or more of the mega-agencies and have no desire — even if it were a possibility — to become one of them.

Layaway: Kmart Wins Big With Old Concept Made New


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Kmart surprised many when it began loudly trumpeting its anachronistic-sounding layaway concept last fall. But the program has been a hit with credit- and cash-strapped consumers, said Kmart CMO Mark Snyder. He appeared along with DraftFCB Exec VP Mathiew Lignel at the Advertising Club's recent "Marketing Through The Recession" panel. Both explained how the faded and gauche idea of layaways was repackaged as an alluring new consumer benefit for Kmart shoppers.

Gatorade G2 | Everyday Athlete

A PepsiCo parece cada vez mais querer dar uma aura de Nike para o seu Gatorade. Superação no esporte e na vida, garra, performance, pessoas “comuns” que podem ser atletas, atletas que também são pessoas “comuns” e aquilo tudo o que você já conhece.

A nova campanha de Gatorade quer celebrar justamente o atleta de todo dia, misturando esporte com crise econômica. Além de anúncios impressos, o comercial mostra dois Kevin’s, um lutando dentro das quadras e outro que encontrou na atividade física uma maneira de fugir dos problemas.

Kevin Garnett, jogador do Boston Celtics, e Kevin Crowe, que perdeu o emprego duas vezes em menos de um ano, contam sobre os desafios que enfrentam no esporte e no dia-a-dia.

Outros dois filmes da campanha irão ao ar ainda em março, estrelados por Eli Manningm jogador da NFL, e Eli Cotton, um atleta que precisa enfrentar a asma para praticar esporte, e outro pela tenista Serena Williams e Serena Cuevas, uma dançarina que voltou a treinar depois de sofrer um acidente de carro.
