The Zombie experiment in NYC

on August 3, 2012 by Martina Comments

Fantastic yet terrifying idea by AMC to protest against the fact that they have been dropped from Dish Network. Since the contract between Dish Network and AMC hasn’t been renewed, one of the most popular TV shows, The Walking Dead, is not longer available on the network and, as a consequence, the Zombies, instead of living in a TV box, are now free to wander around the streets of New York.

IKEA Mind the Gap

on August 2, 2012 by Martina Comments

Ambient marketing meets urban landscaping in this IKEA’s project made in Japan. The Swedish brand took over the streets of Harajuku in Tokyo or, better, the gaps between the buildings in Harajuku, to display pieces of its furniture collection and prove that they can fit everywhere and enrich even the smallest living spaces.

Video of the Day: Whatever’s Comfortable

on August 2, 2012 by Martina Comments

You don’t necessarily need a storytelling idea to create a good commercial. However, when this is the case, everything else needs to be perfect. Check this out for example. There is no apparent plot in this TVC for Southern Comfort. But music, photography and soundtrack are awesome, and the result is a 1:42 video terribly nice to watch. Read more…

British Airways & MINI Olympic symphonies

on August 2, 2012 by Martina Comments

Nice little interactive project by BBH London for British Airways. All the tweets, posts and messages that British fans share to support home athletes at the Olympics are compiled creating a sound wave that shows the amount of social buzz throughout the day. An interactive symphony is played, and the music shows a crescendo when the social conversation gets louder and, viceversa, slows down when fans become more quiet . Read more…

Louis Vuitton pays homage to Muhammad Ali featuring his greatest quotes in two poetic videos directed by Stuart McIntyre.

A coin to stop the Seal Killers

on July 31, 2012 by Martina Comments

Another very nice “offline interactive” idea made in Germany to raise awareness on the stupid and cruel seals killing happening around the world in countries like Canada, Russia and Norway just to name a few. Every year almost a million seals are killed for their pelts, their fat and their flesh. A huge number that gets even more awful if you think how cruelly the animals are killed (using a firearm!).

Video of the day: DirecTV Questions

on July 27, 2012 by Martina Comments

New creative approach for Grey New York in the latest DirecTV commercial. After the “Don’t” it’s time for the “What/Why/When & How”. But the result doesn’t change: an hilarious and beautifully shot commercial directed by Tom Kuntz featuring John Cleese. Read more…
