E.T. Reunites With Elliott, but for an Xfinity Ad, Not a Movie Sequel

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was one of the highest-grossing films ever made, but director Steven Spielberg always resisted making a followup to his 1982 film about an alien left behind on earth who befriends a young boy and attempts to “phone home.” However, E.T. and Elliott have finally reunited 37 years later–not for a sequel, but…

Canadian Mental Health Association: The Self-Care Calendar for Festive Season Survival

Canadian Mental Health Association Integrated Ad - The Self-Care Calendar for Festive Season Survival

Despite what the TV commercials and mall music might say, it’s certainly not the most wonderful time of the year for many Canadians. In fact, the holidays can be emotionally, financially and even physically taxing. According to research, 59% of people admitted to feeling sad during the holiday, while 55% lacked motivation or energy and 51% said they were fatigued. With the pressure to feel merry seeming to increase with each passing December day, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and forget some of the keys to contentment and wellbeing.

Toronto agency The Hive has created a solution called “The Self-Care Calendar for Festive Season Survival.” Rather than sweet treats, however, this advent-style calendar is filled with messages of encouragement and hope, with all proceeds going to the Canadian Mental Health Association. The calendar features a different message for each day leading up to Dec. 25, with doors opening to reveal instructions like “Give presence over presents,” “Social media, silent night” and “Deck the halls with, ugh, whatever.” The tone is playful, but there is an underlying message about the importance of not allowing yourself to be overwhelmed during a stressful time.

“The Self-Care Calendar” is available for $20 at Toronto’s Drake General Store locations. It’s also available at The Hive’s office on Toronto’s King Street West, where it is being promoted with billboard-style ads in the agency’s windows. The agency is also presenting the calendar to clients.

Toys For Tots: An Unboxing Worth Watching

As another holiday shopping season kicks into high gear, there’s no shortage of tech, toys, and treats being touted as the latest and greatest ‘must-have’ gift. And one of the most popular ways new products are being showcased to consumers is through unboxing videos, where people film themselves opening, inspecting, and reviewing an item for their audience. This trend has exploded over the past few years, and has made its way into the children’s toy category, where content creators young and old unbox and discuss the latest toy.

But while most of us know the thrill of opening a gift and exploring what’s inside, others aren’t so lucky. Thousands of Canadian kids don’t receive gifts during the holiday season as their families don’t have the means to buy them one. In an effort to raise awareness for this harsh reality, Toys For Tots Canada created an unboxing video of their own – an #UnboxingWorthWatching. The video starts with all the common tropes you’d expect in an unboxing video: jump cuts, a homemade title card introducing their host Joey, even a callout to subscribe to his YouTube channel.

Everything is happy and upbeat until, it isn’t. When Joey opens the box, he finds there’s nothing inside, and the campaign message is revealed: Some kids have nothing to unbox.

Pringles has unveiled a gaming headset that does double-duty as an automatic chip dispenser. Hungry gamers can stay on their controllers and be fed chips hands-free by the Pringles “Hunger Hammer” as they play on.

The new invention prototype promotes the brand’s partnership with new “Gears 5” first-person shooter game and connects gamers and their followers on Twitch.

For its promotion with “Gears 5,” each Pringles can has a code that can be used to unlock a three-day boost in the game.

Pringles has hired Twitch gaming influencers Criken, DexBonus, and Strippin to beta-test the Hunger Hammer playing “Gears 5” during live streams over the next few weeks and is running ads on Twitch to promote its “Gears 5” partnership.
