Selena Gomez paints the town green for Adidas Neo -  but for which ad agency?

Selena Gomez paints the town green for Adidas Neo – but for which ad agency?

By Stephen Foster on November 27, 2012

Talking of Adidas (which we were) it’s just produced this lively film ‘Selena Goes Neo’ for youth brand Neo featuring newly-signed and undeniably youthful chanteuse Selena Gomez (left). The film is directed by D.A.R.Y.L (how annoying is that?) for Pulse Films and features Selena and chums painting downtown LA Neo green. You’d get arrested for [...]

Adidas turns Christmas into a 'Merry Holiday Day' with animated Snoop Dogg epic from Sid Lee

Adidas turns Christmas into a ‘Merry Holiday Day’ with animated Snoop Dogg epic from Sid Lee

By Angie Dean on November 27, 2012

Have you noticed the way ‘Christmas’ has become ‘Holiday’ in the US? They’re all it, retailers for example and now we have a cartoon Snoop Dogg (playing Ebeneezer Snoop aka Scrooge) wishing everyone a ‘Merry Holiday Day.’ Belatedly, of course. It’s all part of this Beavis and Butt-Head-styled opus from Sid Lee for Adidas, whose [...]

Can new Adidas agency TBWA compete with world champs Nike and W+K at Brazil 2014?

Can new Adidas agency TBWA compete with world champs Nike and W+K at Brazil 2014?

By Stephen Foster on May 10, 2012

And we shouldn’t ignore digital giant AKQA either, which shares Nike creative duties with Wieden+Kennedy. A few weeks ago we suggested that Adidas, a tier one World Cup sponsor, was looking for an agency “to kill Nike,” which regularly disrupts Adidas’s expensive relationship with both the World Cup and the Olympics through its artful deployment [...]

Adidas wants an ad agency to kill Nike in 2014

Adidas wants an ad agency to kill Nike in 2014

By Stephen Foster on March 15, 2012

Years ago Fuji’s unofficial mission statement was ‘Kill Kodak,’ something it and digital large succeeded in doing. German sports apparel maker Adidas must feel much the same about Nike, the rival that regularly undermines its tier one sponsorship of the football World Cup by blasting it with ambush advertising. So Adidas is conducting a beauty [...]

Adidas springs another agency surprise by hiring Creature in London to handle European shoe launch

Adidas springs another agency surprise by hiring Creature in London to handle European shoe launch

By Stephen Foster on January 6, 2012

Not only that, the Adidas top brass in Germany chose Creature, the newish London offshoot of Creature in Seattle, against competition from two hot and established agencies, Bartle Bogle Hegarty and Mother. Back in July 2010 Adidas surprised nearly everybody by hiring Montreal-based Sid Lee as its global AOR (with mixed results so far it [...]

Baffling Adidas 'All In' campaign heads for Rugby World Cup

Baffling Adidas ‘All In’ campaign heads for Rugby World Cup

By Stephen Foster on August 29, 2011

Toronto agency Sid Lee’s campaign ‘Adidas is all in’ doesn’t seem to mean very much unless I’m missing rather a lot but the sports brand will be ramming it down our throats big time over the next few weeks as the Rugby World Cup takes place in New Zealand. Here are the fearsome host All [...]

Adidas kicks off Olympic wars with Sid Lee's star-packed All In ad

Adidas kicks off Olympic wars with Sid Lee’s star-packed All In ad

By Stephen Foster on March 22, 2011

Not that very many (if any) from footballers David Beckham and Lionel Messi, basketballer Derrick Rose and chanteuse Katy Perry will actually be competing at the London 2012 Olympics but Adidas is the official sports kit supplier and it’s clearly briefed new agency Sid Lee to punt all its stars before those bastards at Nike [...]

Here’s a preview of Adidas’ All In – the first star-packed campaign by new agency Sid Lee

By Stephen Foster on March 14, 2011

I feel a bit of a plonker running a 15-second ‘sneak preview’ of a commercial (it’s not the latest Scorsese film is it?) but anyway here it is, Adidas’ ‘All In’ global campaign from newly-appointed agency Sid Lee. Apparently the campaign is the first to feature all three Adidas sub-brands, Originals, Sport Performance and Sport [...]

Two years after Enfatico collapses Dell dumps WPP for three smaller agencies

Two years after Enfatico collapses Dell dumps WPP for three smaller agencies

By Stephen Foster on February 28, 2011

If there’s one consistent theme to Sir Martin Sorrell’s long tenure at WPP (apart from delivering the numbers of course) it’s his belief that WPP can and should set up customised mini-agencies for big clients. The most recent is Blue Hive for the global launch of the new Ford Focus (and many Ford models besides, [...]
