Hammerson "Be ready" by Isobel

For those serious about bagging a bargain, the January sales require thorough preparation – an idea this campaign for Hammerson’s Brent Cross Shopping Centre in north west London plays with by depicting fashionistas practising boxing moves and lifting weights.

Sneha Suresh : Giving Tamil Proverbs A Tangible Form

DesiCreative – Indian Advertising Creative Blog and Community (beta 1.4)

Sneha Suresh is a 4th year student at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology. She has been working on a printmaking project which is based on the vernacular. Being a Tamilian, born and brought up in Goa she has worked on a project called ‘Inaipu’ (which means fusion in Tamil) as a part of my pre-thesis project.

“The intent of this project is to present the metamorphosis of the oral tradition of Tamil proverbs and represent them visually by looking at the evolution of Tamil letterforms in a more imaginative way. My role in this project is based on the amalgamation of the oral tradition and visual culture, metaphors, material culture and symbols of Tamil Nadu. I’ve tried to bring out the real and the imagined mentioned in the oral tradition of proverbs through visuals which means, looking at how an intangible expression can manifest into a tangible one. I never managed to get myself to learn how to read and write Tamil which I regret but now, as a visual artist and a visual communication design student I am interested in letterforms and this project has been a pathway for me to get close to my cultural roots. Here are a few links that you could refer to if interested.”

DDB Chicago Promotes Volunteering with ‘Don’t You’ for State Farm

DDB Chicago launched a post-holiday campaign for State Farm, calling on viewers to continue charitable actions after the holiday season.

A 60-second spot centers around a cover of Simple Minds‘ “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” a song best-known, of course, for its appearance in The Breakfast Club soundtrack. The song, as sung by a performer sitting at a piano, is closely tied to the message of the ad. “Don’t You” shows a bustling soup kitchen during the holidays give way to a mostly empty room shortly after the end of the season.

The spot concludes with the message, “The season of giving ends, but the need remains.”

“I think a lot of us can relate to finding ourselves being more generous during the holidays—to finally finding the time to act on the good intentions we have throughout the year. But once they’re over, we often go back to our normal day-to-day…until the next holiday season,” DDB Chicago senior vice president, group creative director Mel Routhier told The Drum. “This piece dramatizes what that reality looks like for many shelters and places of need. And hopefully motivates people to stay involved, well after the lights and decorations of the holidays come down.”

It’s part of a larger campaign to promote State Farm’s Neighborhood of Good program, which, in addition to broadcast spots also includes online videos, social media initiatives and digital display ads, all designed to drive viewers to neighborhoodofgood.com.

Gardena: Nature is Irreplaceable

Task: GARDENA, the top-of-mind brand for traditional gardeners, wanted to show urban people, that getting in contact with nature and therefore gardening is essential for wellbeing. Idea: To feel that we are part of nature, makes us human. Nevertheless we are living in an increasingly artificial world.
But: Nature is irreplaceable.
Solution: We made plants out of real plastic tools, people use every day, and arranged them like normal pot plants, to show people that there is no substitute for nature and experiencing nature.
