Lou Reed’s ‘Perfect Day’ Is Weirdly Perfect for New PlayStation 4 Spot

The PlayStation 4 launches next month, and Sony is feeding the frenzy with its new "Perfect Day" commercial from BBH in New York. It's a follow-up to the widely popular PlayStation 4 trailer from June, and it coincides with the launch of Sony's "Greatness Awaits" website. In the ad, two young men role-play battle via scenes from the Elder Scrolls Online, Driveclub and Killzone: Shadow Fall, all to the tune of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day."

The song juxtaposes nicely against the battle scenes, and although Reed is not actually singing it, the actors belting it out off-key while fighting make for a fun spot. Reed spoke positively about the ad industry at Cannes earlier this year, which makes a lot of sense now that he's profiting off it (though still not profiting off iTunes, apparently). Is that a touch of irony in the song selection, too, since it's allegedly about addiction?

UPDATE: As Pete Shelly reminds us, Reed's original version of "Perfect Day" has been used in advertising before—in the beautiful AT&T spot below with Gretchen Bleiler, by BBDO New York and director Peter Thwaites, from the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Johnnie Walker rejuvenesce o slogan “Keep Walking” em nova campanha

Deixando de lado o tom clássico de seu histórico de comunicação, a Johnnie Walker busca rejuvenescer a marca com uma nova campanha. O tradicional “Keep Walking” continua, mas agora com uma linguagem que poderia estar num comercial da Nike, por exemplo.

O filme representa a voz do futuro, daqui 5 anos, falando com o espectador, em um texto que incentiva a busca de sonhos, não importando quais sejam as dificuldades enfrentadas hoje. A mensagem é direcionada a jovens em começo de carreira, com um emprego ainda não ideal e talentos não descobertos, afirmando que tudo fica bem pra quem persevera.

A trilha sonora techno é outra pista dessa mudança de postura da marca, “Pursuit” do Gesaffelstein. Fica a dúvida se o comercial trata-se de um investimento específico, ou se esse será o tom global daqui em diante.

Criação é da BBH, que conta com cenas filmadas em São Paulo.

Axe cria tutoriais bem-humorados de penteados masculinos

A Axe resolveu dar uma “forcinha” para ensinar os homens como deixar os cabelos com uma aparência mais bacana, de acordo com a personalidade de cada um, com o lançamento de quatro tutoriais muito bem-humorados. Criados pela BBH de Londres, os filmes destacam penteados nos estilos arrumadinho, bagunçado, natural ou arrepiado, misturando informação e entretenimento com aquela pegada Axe de sempre.

O destaque dos tutoriais é a narrativa, que descreve a personalidade de cada homem que usaria aquele estilo de penteado – ou pelo menos a imagem que ele gostaria de passar. Depois, mostra como estilizar o cabelo, usando os produtos da marca, colocando os protagonistas em situações às vezes um tanto complicadas, mas sempre com a garantia de um final feliz.

Buy the Guardian and Observer, or Your Weekend Will Be a Complete Disaster

BBH London expands its "We Own the Weekend" campaign for the Guardian and Observer's Saturday and Sunday newspapers with a pair of dark-humored spots that focus on the "Tech Monthly" and "Cook" supplements. In one spot, a guy is unable to control the destructive force of his high-tech "MegaGlove"; in the other, a woman's hosted luncheon ends poorly for all involved. Ah well, if it bleeds, it leads.

"If our initial campaign was designed to inform the public that the Guardian and the Observer own their weekend, this follow-up dramatizes the repercussions of resistance," says David Kolbusz, deputy executive creative director at BBH. "When you try to own your own weekend, things can turn out very badly. Frankly, I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't buy their papers."

The work maintains the high quality of the three-minute January launch film starring Hugh Grant. Still, I can't help feeling it's all for naught. No matter how smart its marketing gets, the newspaper business long ago got "owned" by digital media—every day of the week.

Audi mostra que o poder vem dos lugares menos óbvios

Em nova campanha para a minivan RS 6 Avant, a Audi pede para que seus consumidores não se deixem enganar pelas aparências. Um carro família não precisa necessariamente ser uma geringonça lenta, já que o “poder pode vir de lugares menos óbvios”.

Para construir a metáfora, a BBH London recorre ao Clark Kent de Christopher Reeve em um anúncio impresso, e a um juiz de boxe num comercial. O árbitro Tony Weeks é o centro das atenções no filme que em que lutam os campeões Steve Cunningham e BJ Floresand. Apesar da aparente força dos boxeadores, é Week quem controla e dita as regras.

No final, o juiz sai pelo túnel, num corte que culmina com a aparição do RS 6 Avant e a assinatura.

BBH Interns Have Cronuts to Share, but Only If You Donate to NYC’s Food Bank

Hey, you, person who will spend $20 per pastry to a pastry scalper to get your hands on the newest hottest pastry invention. Or you, person who cries because you couldn't get your hands on one, because other people ate them all, even though you were really looking forward to it. Do humanity a favor and spend your extra money and emotional energy on feeding the hungry. Hell, you might even get your grubby paws on a Cronut after all. (For the ignorant, that's a cross between a croissant and a donut, natch.) "The Cronut Project," spearheaded by some BBH New York interns, partnering with NYC Food Bank and Cronut inventor Dominique Ansel, features a daily raffle—with the donor who pledges the most money, plus another random donor, getting a free Cronut. It all ends tomorrow, after which you'll have to buy a plane ticket to South Korea so you can get a Dunkin Donuts knockoff. Photo via.


    

Mentos Fresh News cria um telejornal só sobre você

Um telejornal em que você é a única notícia. Essa é proposta narcisista de Mentos em um novo site da campanha “Stay Fresh”

Conectando com o Facebook e integrando dados do usuário, Mentos Fresh News cria um vídeo-paródia em que os apresentadores noticiam sua vida. Tem fofocas sobre seus supostos interesses amorosos e piadas sobre seus gostos, baseado nas suas opções “Curtir”, por exemplo.

O site utiliza não só as informações nativas do Facebook, como também as de aplicativos conectados a ele, como o Foursquare. Se for o seu caso, os “jornalista” comentam também suas últimas viagens.

A criação da BBH London não é exatamente inovadora, mas aposta no humor e contexto jornalístico para viralizar. Testa lá: mentosfreshnews.com

Bruce Lee Rises Again in Johnnie Walker Ad, but He’s Not All There

Re-enter the dragon? Johnnie Walker and BBH resurrect Bruce Lee via CGI technology (and footage of lookalike actor Danny Chan) for this boring Chinese commercial. The spot, approved by Lee's daughter Shannon, has proven predictably polarizing. Some critics trot out the old objection that showing dead stars in ads is in poor taste, while others claim the memory of Lee—a paragon of physical fitness and athleticism before his death 40 years ago this month, at age 32—is somehow tarnished by his doppelgänger pitching whisky.

The bigger problem is that the ad is dull, something its inspiration never was. Fake Lee walks around a Hong Kong balcony, runs a hand through some water in a pool and mouths lines like, "Dragons never die, because dragons draw power from water. Water. It's like instincts … You cannot grasp hold of it. But let it flow and it has the power to change the world." Dude, drop-kick the faux-losophy … you're supposed to be Bruce Freakin' Lee! The guy was a human CGI machine who routinely defied gravity with furiously elegant fighting moves he choreographed himself. How can you bring him back and not put him in motion—shirtless, freaky, fists-and-feet-flying motion!?

Heck, they should have shown CGI Bruce battling barehanded against Undead Audrey Hepburn—or at least something more groovy than what's on display here. Far from being disrespectful, I believe a highly physical, even frenetic approach would have honored Lee and captured the essence of the man. Bruce Lee was a mischievous badass who reveled in his sensational stunts and brought a transcendent sense of subversive fun to his movies. His violent yet controlled release of kinetic energy forged his connection with audiences around the world. Flying through the air while screaming at the top of his lungs was his defining spiritual statement. Instead, the spirits brand pours us prattle about being a … "game changer"?! Bruce would have demanded such jargon expunged from his film scripts and employed his unshod feet to smack the silly screenwriters upside their heads.

Sadly, the ad fails because Lee is present in body—sort of—but not in spirit.

    

Johnnie Walker “ressuscita” Bruce Lee em comercial

Depois de Audrey Hepburn, Bruce Lee é a mais recente personalidade a ser ressuscitada pela publicidade. O lutador, feito em computação gráfica, estrela o comercial “Game Changer” de Johnnie Walker.

Criado pela BBH e produzido pela The Mill para o mercado chinês, o filme obviamente é polêmico. Apesar da autorização dada pela filha de Bruce, Shannon Lee, existe muita reclamação por ser um comercial de bebida alcóolica. Os comentários no perfil do diretor responsável, Joseph Kahn, falam em desrespeito ao legado do mito, que não ingeria álcool e que, aqui, parece comparar água com whisky.

Kahn se defende, dizendo que se trata de um filme inspiracional, com uma metáfora sobre a vida, e que Bruce Lee não cita e nem segura um copo de Johnnie Walker. “Isso é uma escultura numa mídia diferente, paga por um igreja diferente”, afirmou o diretor.

Bruce Lee

Personalidades consideradas ilibadas em comerciais geralmente causam problema, vide o recente caso Tom Zé + Coca-Cola, quando estão mortas então, a situação se agrava. A publicidade costuma ser demonizada pelo público, e nada pode garantir que tal celebridade aceitaria colocar sua voz e rosto para vender qualquer coisa que seja.

Comentei isso quando a Citroën usou Marilyn Monroe e, pior, John Lennon para promover seus automóveis. Legado com prazo de validade, que perde mais ainda o sentido por se tratar de alguém notoriamente anti-establishment.

Dito isso, tem algo que me incomoda ainda mais nesse comercial do Bruce Lee. Vocês realmente compraram esse CGI? Parece um boneco. Cinema e games já fizeram muito melhor.

BBH Finally Gets to Add Storybook Ending to Its Wimbledon Ad for Robinsons

Britain had to wait 77 years—until Sunday's win by Andy Murray—to celebrate another British male singles champion at Wimbledon. So, BBH London should feel fortunate that it had to wait only four years to add the proper ending to its now-famous Wimbledon commercial for Robinsons drinks. The spot, which dreams of the day when a British player would once again win the prestigious London tennis tournament, was originally put together in 2009. Murray made it to the semifinals that year, losing to Andy Roddick. He made it to the semifinals in each of the following two years as well, reaching the final in 2012, only to fall to Roger Federer. This year, finally, he triumphed—over Novak Djokovic. "Worth the wait, wasn't it?" says BBH's newly added voiceover at the end.

‘Greatness Awaits’ in BBH’s Grand Launch Spot for the PlayStation 4

While most gamers were focused this week on learning what the new Sony PlayStation 4 will look like and how much it will cost ($399), ad geeks were treated to their own big reveal: the console's new marketing campaign. "Greatness Awaits" will be the launch tagline for the PS4, and the campaign rolled out this week with a suitably epic 90-second anthem spot from BBH New York. The agency won the PlayStation account earlier this year, succeeding longtime creative lead Deutsch/LA, whose ads featuring fictional PlayStation vp Kevin Butler were roundly beloved until ending awkwardly with a lawsuit against the star talent. The new guard's inaugural work for the PS4 features actor Taylor Handley (from CBS's recently canceled series Vegas) delivering a long-take soliloquy on embracing your greatness. Speckled with cameos by game characters and self-destructing set designs, the ad ends with the actor diving into the fray to break some pirate legs and clothesline a few clowns. If those are both part of the same game, I'd be willing to pre-order a PS4 today. Credits below.

Even Home Intruders Get the Girl in Campaign for Axe’s New Hair Products

'Tis the season for male-grooming brand extensions. Old Spice introduced its shaving gel last week. And now, Axe has updated its range of hair products for men. It's advertising them with four new 20-second ads from BBH London that have launched in Europe and will reach North America this weekend. The creative idea is that well-styled hair is crucial when you meet someone for the first time. The spots present various quirky first-meeting scenarios—the most faux-provocative of which is probably the home-invasion scenario, in which burglar seduces buglee with his perfectly slicked 'do. "We wanted to capture a simple truth about guys and their grooming habits," says David Kolbusz, deputy executive creative director at BBH. "Whenever a man sees a woman he fancies, he tends to touch up his hair before making the initial approach. We dramatized this behavior by setting it in the most extreme of circumstances." More spots and credits below.

Um comercial de suco com um final que vai te fazer sorrir

Eu sei que é manipulador e já pude até notar o final – com um twist – que estava chegando. Não é uma ideia nova. Ainda assim, é impossível não sorrir com esse comercial da marca de sucos britânica Robinsons.

Bom, dependendo da sua história de vida talvez te faça chorar, mas não vamos precisar de nenhuma terapia, é só alterar o ponto de vista.

A criação é da BBH London, com produção da Academy Films.

Two Friends Are Not Quite Who They Appear in Touching British Juice Ad

I'll admit to not seeing the twist ending coming in this evocative new spot by BBH London for fruit-drink brand Robinsons. You could quibble with the end lines, perhaps—and here's why—but that's overthinking it. It's an extremely sweet ad, expertly shot by the directing duo of Si & Ad at Academy Films. The commercial breaks Saturday in the U.K. during Britain's Got Talent and will run in 30- and 60-second executions. Credits below.

Google Chrome’s Ad With Stewie From Family Guy Is Super Irritating

Stewie Griffin, the 1-year-old prodigy from Family Guy, is a lovable character, but man can he get annoying. In this 15-second spot from 72andSunny for Google Chrome, he proves just that. "Mom! Mom! Mommy! Ma!" he cries, as Lois stares off in a tormented haze. Ah, the gifts of parenthood. The spot makes its point, though. Google Chrome can't stop you from being interrupted, but it can let you pick up where you left off. What is it with Stewie being so repetitive in commercials? Now, someone please find Rupert so Stewie can finally shut up.

    

One Small Schtup for Man, One Giant Leap for Axe’s Astronaut Campaign

Dude's got the right stuff! Talk about a payload specialist! No "Houston, we've got a problem" for this rocket jockey! Etc.! BBH London and Blink director Tom Tagholm score with its latest, interestingly shot "Nothing beats an astronaut" spot for Axe's Apollo and Deep Space body washes, thanks to playful morning-after imagery. A woman's clothing and underwear are strewn around an apartment, along with astronaut gear like boots, a helmet and a spacesuit. She wakes up looking supremely satisfied, while her lusty inner-space traveler showers with Axe, all systems presumably "go" for re-entry. Remember to practice safe sex, people, and keep your helmet on! Credits below.

Barclays: You vs Unconditional Love

Dizem que ter filhos faz com que a pessoa progrida na vida. Por um filho, os pais se esforçam mais para conquistar coisas que antes não julgavam ser necessárias para eles mesmos. Com filhos na jogada, entretanto, tudo muda. É mais ou menos este o espírito do filme You vs Unconditional Love, criado pela BBH Londres para divulgar um novo serviço do banco Barclays.

Todo aquele amor incondicional é testado a partir do dia do nascimento de seu filho. Pelos próximos 20 anos ou mais, será “eu quero isso” ou “eu preciso daquilo”. E ai do pai que não garantir que os desejos dos filhos sejam satisfeitos… Daí o Barclays aparece com o Family Springboard, uma espécie de financiamento que devolve aos pais o dinheiro que eles emprestaram aos filhos para que eles comprem seus próprios imóveis. Afinal, tudo que vai, volta.

Se você quiser relembrar outros ótimos comerciais estrelados por papais – tão bons quanto este da Barclays – confira a seleção feita pelo Merigo em agosto do ano passado.

Axe lança campanha que vai enviar um homem para o espaço

Você pode até impressionar uma mulher se disser que é bombeiro, policial ou agente secreto, que trabalha salvando vidas como um verdadeiro super-herói. Porém, nada, absolutamente nada, pode ser mais impactante do que dizer: “Sou um astronauta”.

A Axe acredita nisso e, junto com sua nova fragrância Apollo, criou uma ação que vai mandar um homem para o espaço. É a AXE Apollo Space Academy, válida para diversos países, incluindo o Brasil.

Alem do comercial acima, Buzz Aldrin foi convocado para fazer o anúncio da ação, que aqui no país terá como porta-voz o “astronauta brasileiro” Marcos Pontes.

A criação é da BBH London.

Barclaycard: A difícil missão de comprar um presente de Natal

Poderíamos esperar um ótimo comercial assim de uma loja de brinquedos, mas fica ainda melhor quando você percebe que foi feito por um banco, passando longe das enfadonhas campanhas de cartões de débito/crédito e seus discursos de auto-elogio.

Para promover o pagamento com o simples uso do smartphone, o banco Barclays leva aqui um pai para a complicada tarefa de escolher um presente de Natal para o seu filho. Uma loja de brinquedos, com milhares de opções, e pouco tempo.

Numa referência óbvia a “Toy Story”, os brinquedos ganham vida e tentam impressionar o pai para serem levados pra casa. Antes mesmo do fim, você certamente já deve imaginar quem será o escolhido. O momento do pagamento, claro, é o único sem stress e filas.

Algo que certamente contribui para o charme do filme, foi se manter longe de computação gráfica. Cada brinquedo foi manuseado individualmente, e depois inseridos na composição final feita pela Framestore. A exceção é o macaco, que é um homem fantasiado, e o Bumblebee, filmado em stop-motion.

A criação é da BBH London, e vale ver também o making of:

Jess Time: Google promove Chrome com mais um comercial paternal

Quando fiz um Top 10 comerciais para o Dias dos Pais no mês passado, dois filmes recentes do Google entraram na lista. E realmente parece que eles encontraram na paternidade uma grande fonte de inspiração.

Não que esse novo comercial (acima) se compare aos dois anteriores, mas é novamente o Google exibindo a conexão entre pai e filha, que estão distantes geograficamente, através de suas ferramentas.

De trilha sonora, “Broken Chair” de Chris and Thomas. A criação é da BBH New York.
