One more reason to join AdGabber: Hearing about Proposition 3-17, Guinness’ (childish?) attempt to turn alkie shenanigans into a legit holiday, well before St. Patrick’s Day.
Failing that, you could always hit your nearest college town and go hashing every week.
Here’s some randy creative for Hot Video by CLM BBDO, Paris. The piece at left reads “Don’t worry, both candidates get the secretary job.” Wallpaper-style background shares what-all went on between the lines.
To promote its saucy “simply Cola,” Red Bull is distributing leaflets that serve two purposes.
Why would you abandon a shopping cart? Do you like raising their hopes and dashing them? Did someone once abandon you? Or is your heart cast entirely out of ice?
This is only marginally disgusting. Also, it’s a promotion for “Test Your Breath,” a campaign for Scope by the charmers at Dentsu and Crush.
In Asia, they promote mobile phone service with shows about girls in mini-skirts.
Philly is angling for the gay vote. The Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation just launched “Get Your History Straight” and “Your Nightlife,” which — in tangent with SouthWest Airlines — will populate creative with gay locals.
Wow. For its Wrap Rage Cure campaign, which prescribes the (frightening in context) Open It! tool for people who suffer from package-handling rage, the Zibra Company has been awarded a Gold Addy for Interactive Media.
We just got a ton of creative from a new Royal Enfield campaign in Delhi. It’s called “Trip” — not to be confused with what happens when you ingest too many of the wrong kind of ‘shrooms.
Perhaps inspired by The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Hoffman|Lewis sent us this creative for the Missouri Division of Tourism.
Bank West has launched a new campaign titled “Happy Banking” and just like the Commbank going all the way to the US to find and agency Bank West made the big leap to Sydney’s Host. I really like the campaign as it introduces the iniatives by Bank West in an interesting and fun way.
The main part of the online campaign is this personalized message maker. Type your name and gender and have kittens sing it back to you. Who doesn’t like kittens? As annoying as they may be cats dominate the web. Well lolcats that is. Get a cat playing a Wii and you’ve pretty much got yourself interweb gold.
Here’s my name, as sadly Bannerblog wouldn’t fit. The site also has the other TV ads and all the offers from Bank West. The singing cats have been labeled Experiment #1 so I believe there will be more. I like this online extension so much more than the Commbank effort.
Here’s the TVC which has interviews with a variety of objects that make people happy and then relating it back to banking.
Here’s the flower ad. My favs the teddy, who’s double parked, but it’s not on Youtube yet. The camera zooms, voice talent and set are spot on.
The Optus ad from 07 had animals running around with microphones recording people so it’s the idea flipped.
This all reminds of Ardman’s Creature Comforts, the same voice over lady and mic in shot.
I also just found this special for the disabled called “Creature Discomforts”.
“Crack One Open” is a Cenergy Communications-developed campaign for Steinlager. It involves rugby and broken bones. We don’t really get it.
We’re assuming these three Kelliher Samets Volk-created commercials for Efficiency Vermont, an organization which encourages people to use compact fluorescent bulbs, were purposefully created to be bad.
Neat. We all want a gold colored Scion xB Series 5, right?
Adfreak pointed us to news of a virgin ad campaign for Apligraf, a kind of magic band-aid that uses living cells from the foreskins of baby boys to heal foot sores and leg ulcers.
Hmm. On the one hand, it makes perfect sense for a brand’s ad campaign to mirror the essence of the brand. On the other hand, if you’re Holiday Inn, you might want to shoot a bit higher.
I came across a very cool trailer for FIFA3, which then lead me to a superb website that allows you to see and learn all the cool moves from the clip. I’m totally stunned. This really is amazing and the promo site must have cost a truckload of money because it looks very slick! Check this out:

It must be the child within me that admires these supernatural skills and probably the long forgotten dream to run around with 21 other morons on a football field, chasing a round leather rabbit, but somewhere… I’ve always wanted to be a super pro footballer. Just like almost every sane man, I think. The thing is, I dug up my soccer ball again and actually started to try out the moves to make me feel better. And it helps.
It seems a new campaign for Australia’s Commonwealth Bank has the land of down under angry for two reasons.
Remember that Talking Pets campaign for Purina? Probably not — unless you’re from Canada or are just generally way into your animal chums.
To bring holiday color to its ongoing “Hate Late?” campaign for Pizza Hut, BBDO Guerrero Ortega ran this ad for Valentine’s Day.
