Samsung and Diet Coke star at the ad Oscars

Samsung and Diet Coke star at the ad Oscars

By Stephen Foster on February 25, 2013

The Oscars (they don’t seem to call them Academy Awards any more) commands the second-biggest 30-second rate after the Super Bowl ($1.8m ratecard) so there were some interesting new offerings aired last night (Sunday). Here’s one for Samsung’s tablet Note 10.1 featuring wacky film director Tim Burton from 72andSunny. All their current stuff has a [...]

Keep immigrants out - send for M&C Saatchi; new boss at Premier Foods, Ad Age picks 72andSunny

Keep immigrants out – send for M&C Saatchi; new boss at Premier Foods, Ad Age picks 72andSunny

By Stephen Foster on January 28, 2013

The UK government is apparently considering running an ad campaign to dissuade Bulgarians and Romanians from flooding into Britain when the rules change soon. Lots of references to warm beer, cold and wet weather and an economy run by George Osborne will doubtless be considered for the brief. So which agency should get the job? [...]

The big winners of 2012: Wieden+Kennedy London, Samsung/72andSunny and the Guardian/BBH

By Stephen Foster on December 19, 2012

OK, here we go: after a not very scientific analysis of the ruminations of Paul Simons, Giles Keeble, Jerry Judge, George Parker, Stuart Smith and myself we come to: Agency of the Year Wieden+Kennedy London. For lots of good stuff, TV, online, posters and print. The big test, for W+K London, as we’ve said before, [...]

Is Miles Nadal's MDC Partners starting to unravel?

Is Miles Nadal’s MDC Partners starting to unravel?

By Staff on November 1, 2012

Canada-based MDC Partners, run by financier Miles Nadal (left), has challenged the big boys of the advertising arena by snapping up a number of well-regarded agencies, most notably Crispin Porter+Bogusky, Anomaly, 72and Sunny and Kirshembaum Bond. MDC has never made a profit, preferring instead to surf over a tidal wave of borrowed money in the [...]

72andSunny's new Samsung Galaxy campaign shows the Brits how to do it (and knock Apple)

72andSunny’s new Samsung Galaxy campaign shows the Brits how to do it (and knock Apple)

By Paul Simons on September 24, 2012

I’ve just seen the US television work for the Galaxy S3. Awesome. How do you combine in one 90-second spot product comparisons, make the competitors customers look like idiots, take the piss out of American culture and leave the viewer with ‘there isn’t an option other than to buy the Galaxy’? And pull it off [...]

72andSunny and Samsung hit Apple where it hurts

72andSunny and Samsung hit Apple where it hurts

By Angie Dean on September 21, 2012

Well this isn’t the greatest ad you’ve ever seen (no Tony Kaye for this one) but it certainly kicks Apple in the goolies. Is the Samsung GS3 better than the iPhone 5? More crucially are people who buy the Samsung cooler than the twerps (some of whom are old!) who queue up loyally for each [...]

72andSunny powers K-Swiss to One Show client of the year award

By Staff on May 13, 2012

Is this how we see bosses cum entrepreneurs these days? Once sleepy Swiss tennis shoes brand K-Swiss won Client of the Year at New York’s One Show for this campaign by 72andSunny featuring its (fictional) MFCEO, played by Eastward and Down star Kenny Powers. Not a bit like our own dear Sir Richard Branson. Well [...]

Can TargetCast acquisition help ambitious MDC Partners’ Maxcomm make a splash in media?

By Stephen Foster on March 26, 2012

it was only a matter of time before Miles Nadals’ ambitious marcoms group MDC Partners tackled the world of media planning and buying in a serious way and it has taken the plunge by buying a majority stake in US media independentTarget Cast, managed by founders Steve Farella and Audrey Siegel. TargetCast claims billings of [...]

New Benetton 'Unhate' campaign rattles the Pope

New Benetton ‘Unhate’ campaign rattles the Pope

By Stephen Foster on November 17, 2011

Benetton, from time to time a rather contentious jumper manufacturer, has struck another winner (in publicity terms at least) with its new ‘Unhate’ campaign. This features supposedly opposing world leaders enjoying a jolly good snog with each other. And the first to complain has been Pope Benedict XV1 who objected to a concocted image of [...]
