Hendrix Studios: All Of Us Are RockStars

Hendrix Studio is a musical rehearsal studios, where young bands perfect their skills. Problem: Musicians stop rehearsing as the way to the big stage seems too hard for them. Insight: Young musicians doubt their talent. Idea: Telling young musicians that there is a rock star in every one of us. Solution: Poster in which a spermatozoon which reached the ovule first is metaphorically compared to a rock star on the stage. And there is a crowd of admiring fans before the stage. These fans are also spermatozoa which never reach the ovule so they never become rock stars.

Seguradora encena incidentes no meio da torcida em jogo de futebol

Eis aqui um belo modo de publicidade nos intervalos de jogos de futebol. No estádio, não na TV, é claro.

A seguradora DEVK usou o telão do BayArena, estádio do Bayer Leverkusen, para mostrar incidentes absurdos encenados ao vivo no meio da torcida.

Um lutador de sumô arranca a roupa de um homem, e um tubo de mostarda incontrolável surpreendem os torcedores no local. A assinatura pergunta: “Como você explicaria isso para a sua seguradora?”

Criação da agência alemã Grabarz & Partner.

360i is Building a Klout-Like Platform to Help Brands Go Viral

Predicting what’s going to go viral is something agencies have been attempting, with meager success, to do on behalf of their clients for years.

Any number of enterprising firms and apps have cropped up claiming to know how to crack the code, and know their way around the production of viral videos. It can be costly. Many break through –as evidenced on our weekly chart of the best viral efforts from brands

— but it’s largely still hit or miss.

Mr. T Returns for Old Navy, Is Very Proud of Store’s Upgraded Tees

Mr. T guest-stars as a living pun in this Crispin Porter + Boguksy ad for Old Navy Best Tees, which are more stylish and durable than their previous ones. That's not a huge accomplishment, but whatever, it's their ad. (T also appeared in a two-minute Old Navy infomercial last year with Anna Faris.) I enjoyed the quiet irony of putting Mr. T on a plane, when B.A. Baracus was scared to death of them, but it's a little hard for the audience to accept that he can just kick the bathroom door down in a post-9/11 world. No T-shirt in the world can get you out of that kind of trouble.
