BBH New York makes winning debut for PlayStation

BBH New York makes winning debut for PlayStation

By Staff on June 14, 2013

It’s nice to see a bit of intelligence applied to ‘shoot ‘em up/bash the monsters’ gaming ads and BBH New York has done its bit in this spot for new client Sony PlayStation. it seems to have got up the noses of some of the nerds on YouTube, which may or may not be intentional. [...]

Now BBH tries relationship counselling for Robinsons in new TV campaign

Now BBH tries relationship counselling for Robinsons in new TV campaign

By Stephen Foster on May 7, 2013

Time was when most ads seemed to fix upon mother-daughter or, slightly less often, mother-son relationships but these days it’s dads in the driving seat. We’ve had McDonald’s boyfriend fixing things with stepson over a Big Mac from Leo Burnett (a dad relationship of sorts) and VW Polo’s for Adam&Eve/DDB featuring father-daughter bonding. Watching some [...]

Now McDonald's tries a British spin on America

Now McDonald’s tries a British spin on America

By Stephen Foster on May 3, 2013

Leo Burnett in the UK is always producing nice ads for McDonald’s – and here’s another one. This is for McD’s ‘Great Taste of America’ promotion and features some diverting contrasts between life over there and life over here (the UK). What’s not to like? Maybe the product doesn’t measure up to the advertising? McDonald’s [...]

18 Feet & Rising squeezes a lot into a little in new Cuprinol TV campaign

18 Feet & Rising squeezes a lot into a little in new Cuprinol TV campaign

By Stephen Foster on April 30, 2013

In this era of long and longer ads cum online films, what on earth can you do in ten seconds? Well London agency !8 Feet & Rising has produced this diverting little ad, ‘Whinging Chair,’ for AkzoNobel’s Cuprinol woodcare brand. Which works because it follows hard on the heels of this slightly longer relaunch ad. [...]

How long is a TV commercial in India? Three and half minutes for this one from Tata/Sky

How long is a TV commercial in India? Three and half minutes for this one from Tata/Sky

By Staff on April 23, 2013

So it’s a whopper but this prison break themed opus from Ogilvy does the job – counting down the days of a prison break timed for an India-Pakistan cricket match when the would-be escapees think the guards will all be watching the match. But they’re not of course, so justice wins out. Does it work? [...]

Canada's QuestChat and Blammo reveal the horrors of (non-online) dating

Canada’s QuestChat and Blammo reveal the horrors of (non-online) dating

By Angie Dean on April 17, 2013

Everybody wastes their time trying to find a new spin on creative or, at the other extreme, trying to find oil in the Arctic. Actually the dosh is in online dating companies. These days you’re not allowed to do it, or even contemplate it at work (officially anyway) so you go online – yawn… So [...]

Nearly 40 years on Pepsi is still in search of a decent campaign - Beyonce or no Beyonce

Nearly 40 years on Pepsi is still in search of a decent campaign – Beyonce or no Beyonce

By Stephen Foster on April 8, 2013

Why, despite spending gazillions on ads, can’t Pepsi ever come up with a campaign? Its latest big thing is Beyonce (nothing personal dear) and here she is in a new ad for Pepsi Max called ‘Mirrors’ from 180LA. And what words of wisdom does it have for us? “Embrace your past but live for now.” [...]

Facebook's new Home TV campaign is a blooper

Facebook’s new Home TV campaign is a blooper

By Stephen Foster on April 8, 2013

I really don’t get this ad for Facebook Home; from Wieden+Kennedy presumably. A guy gets on a plane, accesses FB Home and the characters on his Facebook page (who look like Ronald McDonald’s creepier cousins) take over the plane. Well, fine. Then he’s told to turn the bloody thing off; turns it back on again [...]

Heineken gets lost in its new Champion’s League ‘Road To The Final’ TV campaign

By Staff on April 8, 2013

All this global malarkey can bring problems in its train and Heineken and agency Wieden+Kennedy seem to have stumbled on some of them in their latest campaign for Heineken’s sponsorship of the Champion’s League football. The new ‘global’ ad ‘Road To The Final’ shows the resourceful hero of the campaign finding a way to get [...]

Somersby TV ad hijacks Apple for apple cider

Somersby TV ad hijacks Apple for apple cider

By Staff on March 27, 2013

What would we all do without Apple and Apple stores? Carlsberg’s Somersby cider is launching in the UK with this neat campaign from Fold7 showing people sampling Somersby as they would new products and applications in an Apple store. It’s made of apples too of course, which helps. Every second ad (or maybe more than [...]
