Banco de Chile: Miners

Banco de Chile is Chile’s largest bank and a true ‘national brand’. It’s been around for 120 years. It’s everywhere, in every city, every little town or village and an important part of Chilean life. People, companies and institutions have an account or commercial relationship with the bank. As a national brand, Banco de Chile supports all the important ’causes’ that unite Chileans and bring out the best of them. It has been the main sponsor of the Chilean Teleton, main supporter of ‘Desafío Levantemos Chile’ a NGO that was born after the huge earthquake in 2010. All of this causes, really unite Chileans and bring out the finest of our culture, spirit, land, people, generosity… Following this, Banco de Chile became one of Chile’s national football team main sponsors. As a South American country, Chileans love football (soccer) and the popular passion generated by the team is huge. People go crazy, the whole country stops when the team plays, everything is covered in red, and the most important thing of all we all unite, as one, to support our team. Chilean soccer history is not as happy. It is a story of little wins and many losses. We suffer, we struggle, we fear, but we never stop believing and dreaming. This inspired the film. The will to fight against the odds, to defeat death, to succeed and win…just like our miners did in 2010, with the support of a whole country (and the world) that united to bring them back to life. The finest of the Chilean spirit came out in those 70 days. The will to fight, to never give up, until the task was done. This same spirit, of hope and courage will travel in the soil of that mine to the practice ground of our team. Chile is playing the so called ‘group of death’. Our miners show everyone that there is no reason to fear death, because death was defeated a long time ago at that mine.

Rado: Lifetime Clock

URL: http://lifetime-clock.com

The Swiss watch manufacturer RADO launched the Lifetime Clock as part of a promotional campaign for Esenza Ceramic Touch, their new watch that maintains its timeless beauty without getting scratched. It has especially garnered attention among the young generation of SNS users. Every day we are constantly preoccupied, almost never giving thought about a lifetime. There, we thought of giving people a new way to reflect on their lives by changing it into a beautiful RADO clock. That is the Lifetime Clock. If 84 years of life was 24 hours, 3.5 years would translate into one hour. Lifetime Clock will calculate what time you are based on your age and memories, and make it into a beautiful film and clock. Please sit back and enjoy the present time, along with the landscape shot in 3 days in Spain.

BMW X5: Death Valley Messages, 1

Made for whatever nature could ask for.
The new BMW X5.

The all-new BMW X5 is made for whatever nature could ask for. We let nature tell us directly, what it could ask for from the new BMW X5. We used real-natural-no-postproduction letters we discovered in Death Valley, built out of the typical salt crusts and created the Death Valley messages. Each letter was marked with the exact geographical coordinates where it is located. The messages became print ads and also a mailing that led to our blog, where people could download the font and send their own Death Valley messages.

Google, Snowden and Others Push 'Reset the Net' Privacy Initiative


Edward Snowden appeared by satellite at the Personal Democracy Forum conference in New York on Thursday to endorse Reset the Net, a new privacy initiative backed by some of the largest digital corporations in the world and formed largely in response to the NSA surveillance he exposed.

“We have the technology, and adopting encryption is the first effective step that everyone can take to end mass surveillance,” Mr. Snowden wrote in an earlier post on a Reset the Net Tumblr. “That’s why I am excited for Reset the Net — it will mark the moment when we turn political expression into practical action, and protect ourselves on a large scale.”

The initiative, designed to encrypt data that could be intercepted by the National Security Agency and other government entities conducting bulk data sweeps, is also supported by Google, Yahoo, Twitter, and a host of privacy groups and tech companies.
