Gatorade awards itself an Olympic gold in self-congratulatory Usain Bolt ad

Gatorade awards itself an Olympic gold in self-congratulatory Usain Bolt ad

By Stephen Foster on August 16, 2012

PepsiCo’s Gatorade is giving itself a big pat on the back with this ad featuring Olympic sprint king Usain Bolt from TBWA Chiat Day. And very good it is for a re-cut quickie. PepsiCo, of course, wasn’t an Olympics sponsor unlike arch-rival Coca-Cola. Which, as far as I can recall, didn’t produce any decent Olympics [...]

Nadia Comaneci celebrates Visa’s Olympics 25th

By Stephen Foster on June 19, 2012

I’ve never quite understood why Visa and Mastercard bother to do any consumer advertising at all, as card payment processors they’re as business-to-business as you get and surely nobody chooses a payment or credit card on the basis of it being Visa or Mastercard, or anything else. Or am I being thick? Anyway Visa has [...]

By Stephen Foster on May 24, 2012

Everybody’s always looking for the next big thing from Apple but maybe it’s here already.

Now Pepsico tries 'Team Pepsi' agency formula as it plans first global campaign 'Live for Now'

Now Pepsico tries ‘Team Pepsi’ agency formula as it plans first global campaign ‘Live for Now’

By Stephen Foster on April 30, 2012

And pretty gruesome ‘Live for Now,’ sounds, focussing on ‘pop culture,’ as opposed to what’s in the can. According to Pepsi US marketing boss Simon Lowden:”When we look at what Pepsi really stands for, we’ve been an entertainment platform for as far back as anyone can remember. But there have been times in the last [...]

Pepsi gives it all to Omnicom - but will that stop the creative work being rubbish?

Pepsi gives it all to Omnicom – but will that stop the creative work being rubbish?

By Stephen Foster on April 13, 2012

PepsiCo North America has taken the chopper to its agency roster, nixing about 50 agencies and putting nearly all the business into Omnicom, chiefly BBDO but also TBWA and DDB. As such it’s a mirror of the General Motors strategy, cut down suppliers, save costs and, hopefully, get something better. In GM’s case it formed [...]

Absolut tries to reclaim trend-setting high ground with TBWA Chiat Day extravaganza

By Stephen Foster on March 23, 2012

The vodka market seems to produce a new killer brand every five minutes (at ever more eye-watering prices) and Absolut, once king of the newbie brands, is looking a bit old hat these days. So it’s blasting back with this online film from TBWA Chiat Day featuring a new single, ‘Greyhound,’ from Swedish ‘Ibiza’ band [...]

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 [...]

Rebecca Van Dyck's new job as CMO at Levi's leads to a shake-up at Y&R in California

Rebecca Van Dyck’s new job as CMO at Levi’s leads to a shake-up at Y&R in California

By Stephen Foster on May 6, 2011

Former Apple marketer Rebecca Van Dyck has landed at Levi’s as CMO and so Doug Sweeny (pictured), former VP-global marketing at the jeans company (am I the only person who finds these titles confusing?) is on his way, to team up once more with creative Joe Kayser to run Young & Rubicam’s West coast operation [...]

That’s what David Beckham was up to on the beach -smooching Diet Pepsi’s Sofia Vergara

By Stephen Foster on April 21, 2011

A few days ago we featured David Beckham in a Pepsi viral, using his famous right foot to good effect on the beach. Of course Becks doesn’t just wander on to any old beach and the viral was clearly filmed making this TBWA Chiat Day commercial for Diet Pepsi featuring Latina soap star Sofia Vergara. [...]

Apple's Rebecca Van Dyck wins top marketing job at Levi's

Apple’s Rebecca Van Dyck wins top marketing job at Levi’s

By Angie Dean on March 3, 2011

And before any agencies think they have a chance of unseating recently-appointed worldwide agency Wieden + Kennedy at the jeans maker we should point out that, prior to joining Apple in 2007, Rebecca Van Dyck spent 12 years at W+K, latterly heading the agency’s foundation global Nike account. Van Dyck, 41, moves from senior director [...]
