SKY: Villain’s Mom


Online
Sky

SKY, Brazil’s largest pay tv company, launched its new Mother’s Day campaign. Created by Ampfy Agency, there are two videos with villain’s moms on screen.

Harley Quinn’s mother, from Suicide Squad Movie, and the Conde Dracula’s mother talk about their kids in hilarious testimonials. As in the real life, they only can see good things. Both movies end with the concept “For your mother, you will always be a hero.”

“We have chosen to use humor to mother’s day, as an idea against the intuitive logic of creating emotional campaigns. If mothers are all the same, villain’s mothers are not different” says Fred Siqueira, CCO of Ampfy.

Thalys: Scents of the City


Media
Thalys

An eye-catching temporary installation, ‘Scents of the City’ was set up in a Brussels art gallery – 752 tubes containing 16 unique fragrances from Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Copenhagen. The scents, which included “A Real French Breakfast”, the aroma of a buttered tartine in a Parisian café, “Latexxx”, the latex odor from the Sex Museum in Amsterdam, or the more poetic “Moments after Mass”, the blended scent of the Cologne cathedral…visitors were able to walk around the colorful display, hung from the ceiling like a chandelier. Circling around, they could explore the different scents, which were identified on large wall maps.

The temporary exhibit was preceded by a soft launch in Paris earlier this year, and will continue with a film, which follows an adventurer as he travels to the different cities. The film will be aired in the 4 countries represented in the exhibit during the 2nd half of May.
