W+K NY, Rudy Hype College Football Playoffs for ESPN

Sean Astin reprises his role as Rudy in a new spot W+K New York created to hype the new college football playoff format for ESPN.

In the spot, Astin apes his inspirational speech from Rudy, this time riling up the locker room with the promise of a playoff format for college football. When he reveals that the format won’t take effect until 2014 however, the reception falls somewhat flat. Filmed at St. Joseph High School in Brooklyn, New York, the spot takes place in 1975, the year Rudy Ruettiger played for Notre Dame. While the famously cheesy movie certainly deserved a satirical send up, W+K’s spot fails to really hit the mark and feels a bit drawn out at 90 seconds. Stick around for credits after the jump.

Dutch Agency Promotes ’99 Days of Freedom’ in Response to Facebook Mood Experiment

The Netherlands’ Just (part of the Dutch Digital Agencies network) recently made global news because of a non-profit initiative called “99 Days of Freedom” designed to encourage everyone to avoid Facebook for that long.

Why would creatives do something so drastic?

It’s not such a big deal, really: all you have to do to join the experiment is throw up a “99 Days …” logo as your profile photo and refrain from liking, sharing, commenting, trolling, or even using the site to check up on your ex’s family for a little over three months.

So…who’s in?

Cash Rules Everything Around

60k

This year’s edition of the GLITCH festival in Dublin examines how artists use new media to investigate social and political systems to find their position within and in relation to these larger systems. In this fuzzy zone of information production, where boundaries and roles are increasingly blurred, the exhibition deploys humour and critique to reconfigure our ideas about our current digital economic climate continue

Samsung Pokes Fun at Apple (Yet Again) in New Campaign

Two new spots introduced by Samsung over the weekend tell us that the brand’s strategy–and that of its creative AOR 72andSunny–still revolves around knocking its archrival down a few notches.

Surely you caught the not-so-subtle insinuation that the 8.4-inch Wi-Fi Tab S, released just over two weeks ago, is more effective than the iPad in allowing users to stream distracting content for as many people as possible…at the same time.

There’s another one about (simulated) screen contrast after the jump…
