Comercial de hambúrguer transforma Heidi Klum em Mrs. Robinson

E já que o cinema é sempre uma rica fonte de inspiração para o mercado publicitário, vale o registro de Mrs. Robinson, filme que a 72andSunny criou para divulgar um hambúrguer com molho de bourbon da rede Carl’s Jr.

Inspirado em The Graduate – que aqui no Brasil foi lançado como A Primeira Noite de Um Homem -, o filme recria a cena clássica em que uma charmosa Anne Bancroft tenta seduzir um assustado Dustin Hoffman, levando à famosa frase “Sra. Robinson, você está tentando me seduzir?”.

Aqui, Anne Bancroft é substituída por Heidi Klum, que talvez nunca tenha comido um hambúrguer na vida. E provavelmente deve ter continuado assim, visto o efeito sonoro da mordida e a boca claramente vazia durante a “mastigação”. E enquanto o narrador diz que o novo hambúrguer vai “fazer de você um homem”, uma legenda quase imperceptível diz que “não há garantias de que isso vá fazer de você um homem”.

Bob Marley Passover Lights Up Hebrew Text

 

Rabbis around the world just collectively shuddered, but the conservative kids who struggle to sit through a Passover seder have something unique to look forward to. The Haggadah, the prayer book that tells the story of Passover, has just been remixed by Nathan Phillips, a senior writer at SS+K. You may be familiar with a Lena Dunham ad he wrote and directed for Barack Obama‘s reelection campaign last fall. Now, with the help of Art Director and shiksa Jessica StewartPhillips has unleashed a cool, creative affront to Jewish grandmothers: Bob Marley Passover.

Yes, Bob Marley Passover…as in, Bob Marley Passover. So brazen, it just might work. You can see the project site and download the haggadah here. Don’t forget to #BobMarleyPassover, which is further evidence that hashtagging has gotten way out of hand. But the haggadah itself is legitimate, if not light-hearted and full of a sense of humor bound to clash with almost anyone over 30.

Criteo Hires Former LivingSocial COO Eric Eichmann As Chief Revenue Officer


Criteo has hired Eric Eichmann as its first chief revenue officer, as the online ad retargeter gets its executive ranks in order ahead of a possible IPO.

Mr. Eichmann will oversee all operations except for tech and product teams for existing revenue streams around retail, travel, and classifieds categories. A different team will oversea revenue for auto and financial services categories, which the company is looking to break into.

In an interview, Mr. Eichmann admitted he wasn’t familiar with the company when it first approached him, but he said he quickly became impressed with its technology, as well as its growth.

Prada junta Wes Anderson e Roman Coppola em comercial de perfume

Dando continuidade à longa tradição de diretores conhecidos dirigindo comerciais de perfumes de marcas famosas, com histórias que a princípio não precisam fazer nenhum sentido, desde que tenham um visual bacana, a Prada resolveu apostar suas fichas na parceria Wes Anderson + Roman Coppola para o filme da nova fragrância Candy L’Eau.

Por enquanto foram divulgados apenas teasers de 12 segundos, estrelados pela modelo e atriz Lea Seydoux. A trama inspirada em Uma Mulher para Dois, de Truffaut, coloca o trio em situações cotidianas, como uma ida ao cinema, uma festa de aniversário e a garota se arrumando no salão de beleza – momento em que ela questiona por quanto tempo os três poderão ser felizes juntos. A resposta: isso importa?

Os filmes até que funcionam bem sozinhos – lembrando que são comerciais de perfume -, mas rola uma curiosidade de ver essa história completa, sendo contada do começo ao fim.


[ATUALIZAÇÃO] Aqui, o filme na íntegra.

TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris: We Sent Their Briefs Back

Although TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris is well established as an above-the-line agency, our clients were yet to be introduced to the wealth of talent that TBWA\ Design has to offer. So, to get our clients’ attention, we intercepted existing above-the-line briefs and used the physical advertising brief as our canvas. Instead of answering the brief in a traditional manner, we conceptualized various designs that captured the essence of the brands, then brought them to life using only the cardboard job bags and the briefs that were attached to them. We created intricate pieces of paper art, transforming our client’s briefs into multi-dimensional design pieces. We then sent our clients’ briefs back to them, proving that TBWA\ Design can do amazing things with their briefs. Our campaign was a huge success. The design studio received their first new brief from our client just 5 days later. Even more notably, new design work in the system rose by 450% within the first 6 weeks.

Here’s Some Quick Clarification Regarding Optimum, Mother

Late last week, we received a few tips that Optimum would no longer be working with Mother, the latter of which was tapped nearly a year ago to work on a rebranding assignment for the former that eventually culminated a few months later into this. Well, slow down tipsters. A spokesperson for Optimum parent company Cablevision has clarified the brand’s agency relationships with this statement:

“Cablevision does not employ a traditional ‘agency of record’ structure, rather we work with a variety of different agencies at any given time. We expect to work with Mother NY as we continue to evolve the Optimum brand.”

If you recall, Mother’s most recent work for the brand, which includes the clip below starring crooner Michael Bolton, launched just a couple of weeks ago.

Along with Mother, which of course has now taken the creative helm for Burger King, Optimum’s agency roster has included the likes of fellow NYC shop, Gardner Nelson & Partners.
