It was a great year for censorship

Reports without borders are “celebrating,” censorship with a campaign denouncing the lack of freedom of the press in twelve countries. These include:

Peach Street Distillers "This is Peach Street" (2016) 1:00 (USA)

There’s a lot of “maybes” in this spot, but they all add up to a small batch artisanal distiller that makes more than 25 different beverages and has a philosophical love of peaches. This effort is part of a larger rebrand created by RTOP+ Partners which includes new packaging and a new website. I like the way the site and this spot look. And the spot really encapsulates what they stand for as a brand. I’m not sure I love the folksy manifesto but its folksiness saves it from being something than the usual kind of manifesto spot that the big conglomerates usually run. The most jarring part to me though is the music. I love the drums and I’m a drummer, but it just feels like an odd music choice.

MUH-TAY-ZIK | HOF-FER Tell Viewers to ‘Fear No Mess’ for Method

MUH-TAY-ZIK | HOF-FER launched a new campaign for Method, in collaboration with interactive/digital agency Essence, entitled “Fear No Mess” which launches around the green cleaning brand’s 15th anniversary.

15 and 30-second spots illustrate the “Fear No Mess” tagline with inventive (and often kind of fun-looking) messes such as “Meatball Golf,” which is exactly what it sounds look. This :30 manages to promote the brand’s hand wash, all-purpose cleaner and laundry detergent over the memorable scene.

“Fruit Fan” pushes the same products with a similar approach: A woman selects various items from a shopping cart full of fruit and throws them through a fan at a man on the other side.

Next, the 15-second “Birthday” sees an older woman using a leaf blower on a birthday cake. A room full of guests are subsequently showered in cake and frosting.

It all makes for a memorable approach for a cleaning brand.

The spots manage to mention multiple products, and there’s plenty of room to dream up other fancifully dirty scenarios in future spots.

McDonald's Turns Placemats Into Little Music Production Stations Connected to Your Phone

Wasn’t it fun when we were kids to doodle on restaurants’ paper placements with crayons? Well, McDonald’s has introduced a high-tech, musical version of that sort of play with McTrax—a snazzy placemat that acts like a little music production station.

TBWANeboko in the Netherlands created McTrax. The placemat, developed with This Page Amsterdam, uses conductive ink, a small battery and a thin circuit board with 26 digital touchpoints. You put you phone on it, download an app and make music with in-house produced audio loops, synths and musical effects. You can also record your own voice.

Mila: The Live Fish Pack

Through today’s technology, frozen fish can actually be better quality than “fresh fish.” New processes in the fishing industry have allowed fish to be frozen straight from the boat within hours of being caught – preserving the taste, texture and nutritional benefits – compared to fish sold at “fresh markets,” which often has a week or more long journey to store shelves, and a long decaying process. However, many people don’t know or think about this, and have prejudice to include frozen fish in their diet.

Who Will Hire This Naked Copywriter Obsessed With Burt Reynolds and Vladimir Putin?

You may recall this 2009 AdFreak story about freelance copywriter Lawson Clarke’s efforts at self-promotion, which involved crafting the uber-masculine persona known as Male Copywriter and exquisitely re-creating the famous April 1972 centerfold of Cosmopolitan magazine starring a naked Burt Reynolds.

Well, after holding down some full-time agency jobs, including one at Hill Holliday, Clarke is jumping back into the freelance life. And so, he’s launching Male Copywriter 2.0—a reskinning (so to speak) of his portfolio site that includes a whole new video of himself in various states of undress.
