City of Amsterdam: Amsterdam Canal Aqua

This year, the city of Amsterdam celebrates the 400th anniversary of its canal district. Built in the early 17th century, the famous canal district of Amsterdam has become an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010. Creative agency Iris Amsterdam has designed a special commemorative set of designed bottles, with water taken directly from the most famous trademarks of the canal belt, the concentric loop of the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Singel canals. There’s a set of 4 bottles – one for each canal. Each bottle has its own story (about the construction of each canal) crafted on the reverse and a QR code lets you see the exact spot where the water has been taken from. Amsterdam Canal Aqua €50 per bottle, available at selected stores in Amsterdam.

Season 2 Trailer for House of Cards Is Literally Just Robin Wright Smoking

Netflix's political series House of Cards got a rapid renewal on the heels of its watercoolery first season, and now it's taking the less-is-more approach to promoting season two. The first spot for the Feb. 14 premiere is just Robin Wright, shot in black and white, taking a long, luxurious pull on a cigarette, her back almost entirely to the camera. Wright's character gives scenery-chewing, camera-addressing narrator Kevin Spacey a run for his money in terms of pure, Machiavellian, chess-with-people politicking, and it's appropriate that Netflix has opted for the unexpected with this early spot. Time will tell whether the new season is as much fun as the last, but this trailer shows the network certainly isn't lacking for confidence.

AutoWay aposta em pegadinha para vender pneus

Pegadinhas parecem ter sido o grande hit da publicidade este ano, com diversas marcas apostando na “prankvertising” para se comunicar com o público. Aqui no B9, a gente mostrou várias, da Nívea perseguindo pessoas em um aeroporto até Chiquinho Scarpa lembrando da importância da doação de órgãos. Teve até agência criticando os excessos. Agora, mais um comercial entra para a lista, desta vez da marca de pneus japonesa AutoWay.

Dirigido pelo diretor e mestre do terror Takashi Miike, o comercial tem causado bons sustos no público. Em 30 segundos, ainda consegue ser melhor até que muito filme de horror por aí, com direito até a uma advertência para pessoas mais sensíveis, logo no começo. Vale o play.

Bryant, Messi Face Off in ‘Selfie Shootout’ for Turkish Airlines

Last year, Lionel Messi and Kobe Bryant faced off in an ad for Turkish Airlines, competing for a young fan’s attention. The ad, “Legends on Board,” became a gigantic viral success, now with over 105 million views on YouTube.

For better or for worse (definitely for worse), 2013 might as well be the “Year of the Selfie.” The ubiquitous word found its way into the vocabulary of everyone from grade schoolers to their grandparents and was even named Oxford English Dictionary’s Word of the Year. If you’re sick of hearing people jump at every opportunity to use this word, we’re with you. At any rate, it’s undeniable that the selfie has won itself a lasting position in our culture.

In an attempt to recapture the success of last year’s “Legends on Board” spot, CP+B has brought back the Bryant Vs. Messi formula, this time positioning the two in a “Selfie Shootout” in which each attempts to one-up the other with self-shot photos in exotic locations. The spot is the first ad CP+B put together for Turkish Airlines since winning ad duties for the airline back in September, and it’s a fine first effort. Without giving too much away I can say that Bryant and Messi both jump through hoops to one-up each other, and their photos get more and more exotic and over-the-top as the minute long spot progresses. CP+B manage to work something of a surprise ending into “The Selfie Shootout,” incorporating another Internet photo phenomenon.

Can “The Selfie Shootout” hope to match the success of “Legends on Board”? We would say yes. The entertaining ad incorporates the selfie phenomenon, has a much larger production budget than Alametifarika’s work last year, and is designed to jumpstart conversation. “The Selfie Shootout,” which was uploaded to YouTube yesterday, has already surpassed the 5 million view mark, and is certainly not showing any signs of slowing down. Its combination of star power, humor, and topical references make it just about unstoppable. Make no mistake, people will be talking about this one for some time. Our reservations about the overuse of “selfie” aside, we can’t blame them. “The Selfie Shootout” is just plain fun. Credits after the jump.  continued…
