Brazilian ad agency wants to change the subject

No more world cup talk. This ad for VW Golf shows that Brazilians may have lost the cup but they kept their sense of humor..
And hey–at least they didn’t use a poor choice of words like VW USA.

Motivational Monday: ‘The Idea Catchers’ by DDB Limelight

In case you’re currently suffering through a case of the late Mondays, DDB Group Asia Pacific (@DDBLimelight) recently released a video entitled “The Idea Catchers.”

According to a blog post on the agency’s website, the video, first imagined by Regional Creative Director Andy Fackrell seeks to honor “the people behind the work who constantly observe, think and meticulously deliver thought-provoking ideas, which have had an impact on popular culture.”

In other words, it’s a defense of advertising creatives everywhere.

Even the World's Least Smooth Mandroid Gets the Ladies With Old Spice

Many brands promise to make literally anyone more attractive to the opposite sex, but Old Spice takes this promise to the extreme with its new ads starring a hapless, barely functional android.

In a pair of spots from Wieden + Kennedy, a robot with the head of male human consistently wins with the ladies because he smells nice, all despite his best efforts to ruin his chances.

By positioning its products as deus-ex-machina sex potions that women simply can’t resist, Old Spice comes off smelling quite a bit like competitor Axe, which has actually been moving away from these kinds of tropes in favor of more cinematic fare.

But the spots manage to keep Old Spice somewhat distinct with the sort of over-the-top humor that has defined the brand since Isaiah Mustafa first transformed a pair of theater tickets into a fistful of diamonds. And the commercials—TV ad “Soccer” and Web spot “Nightclub”—definitely have their bizarre moments.

Plus, Old Spice has already made the case, powerfully if insanely, that its products could turn men’s hair into impossibly talented gophers, and mother-smothered boys into men. So it was really only a matter of time before it told us it could seal the deal for cyborgs.
