DDB & Tribal Gets its Goat On for TomTom

DDB & Tribal Worldwide, Amsterdam launched a new digital campaign promoting the TomTom Bandit action camera with introduction of “Baaadass Bill,” a 2’9? mountain hero (and, uh, mountain goat).

A 1:45 spot called “King of the Mountain” goes all-in on the internet goat phenomenon, introducing the character and his unique dilemma: he’s been recording great footage for years but has no way to share it with the world. The solution, of course, is the Tom Tom Bandit action camera, which lets users edit footage by simply shaking their phone. And the footage that Baaadass Bill gets? It’s completely ridiculous, of course, featuring the mountain goat snowboarding, base-jumping, skiing and wing suit flying. There’s also a mobile site where visitors can learn more about Bill’s adventures as well as social content and a Facebook competition giving participants the chance to win an “action trip” to Whistler, Canada.

“Everyone knows that mountain goats can do amazing things, but it’s never been clear how amazing until now” said Gary Raucher, senior vice president, marketing, TomTom.  “The TomTom Bandit makes it so easy to edit and share, that now anyone can share their skills with the world.”

Tribal Worldwide Shovels it Forward for Canadian Tire

DDB Tribal Worldwide, Toronto launched one of the most Canadian campaigns you’ll see for Candian Tire, a call on viewers to “Shovel It Forward” — that is, shovel a neighbor’s driveway and leave a shovel carrying a message for them to do the same.

“This program is rooted in the age-old practice of shoveling a neighbour’s driveway or sidewalk, simply because it’s the Canadian thing to do,” explains Joshua Stein, executive creative director at Tribal Worldwide, Toronto. “No brand understands life in Canada better than Canadian Tire. Shovel It Forward is a great way for us to demonstrate this.”

In the campaign video, a father wakes a sleeping daughter to help him shovel. Eventually it is revealed that she is shoveling not their driveway, but the neighbor’s, an older woman who looks very appreciative. “Shoveling a neighbor’s driveway is as Canadian as winter itself,” says a voiceover at the conclusion of the spot, followed online by asking viewers to visit the ShovelItForward.ca, where they can see which locations have been shoveled and share their own stories. A social campaign on Facebook and Twitter will also support the effort for the next four weeks, featuring promoted photos and videos.

Récompensée par un Lion d’Argent, elle propose des meubles au design simple et épuré à l’image de la marque, facile à assembler mais qui présentent pourtant des anomalies. À découvrir en images.
