Simple, but rather liked this TV spot created out of archival footage from the BBC celebrating their 90 year history created by RCKR / Y&R.  Nostalgia.

Good to see Adidas doing spots focusing on women, and women in all kind of tough sports.  No ballet here.  Good song choice.  Thought they cut too quick on the last shot, i would have followed the diver down and right before hitting the water go to black adidas screen. Props to ma old homies [...]

I used to be profound BMW lover, thinking that Mercedes was for stodgy old foogies with their stiff upper lip, glossy canes who snorted cavier on the boobs of Playboy cover girls.  But with the recent C200K and now the CLA classes, i’m changing my mind.  Mercedes has finally started to become COOL.  Speaking of [...]

Coca-Cola: Coke Chase

1, Feb 2013

OK you all know i’m a fan of W+K but it’s not all roses and plum candies up in here.  This spot, while a good concept, is not executed very well.  I know they went the whole slapstick tacky comedy slip ups because they’re trying to keep it Coke “light hearted”, but i think better [...]

VW: Das Hund

1, Feb 2013

VW has had some memorable commercials.  We won’t talk about why most of their TVC’s outside of the SuperBowl suck…but yeah.  Anyways, i thought last year’s “The Bark Side” was terrible but then they followed up with the “Keyless Entry Dog” which was brilliant.  This year it’s a commercial about a dog that acts like [...]

Tons of random sports cuts?  Check Bunch of all caps white words flashed in sequence? Check Sports super stars? Check Infectiously good BGM? Check Yup, it’s a Nike commercial.  The only thing i would say is that it’s nice to see sports stars mixed with normal people.  #MakeItCount is a great line and a great [...]

Wow another great TVC by Wieden & Kennedy Havas for Nike i mean P&G i mean McDonald’s France. You deserve 5000 calories everyday! Eat junk food because you toil and stress out like everyone else!  YEAH! Jokes aside good production values.

Herbaria: Fears

31, Jan 2013

Holy, mother of goats.  Talk about a TVC that could actually GIVE you nightmares rather than show how they take them away. While the production value is high i think they could have made it more obvious that the bag tied to their foot was a TEA BAG (make the teabag shape more obvious, or [...]

Fiat: The Motherhood

4, Jan 2013

Banking on people’s familiarity with MTV style rap videos with bouncing hydraulic cars, Fiat makes this commercial targeted at the moms.  I’d consider it a pretty good success with more than 2Mil views already.  The lyrics here are the best, well done by Krow Communications.

Boom de yada anyone?  Posting this cuz it’s one of those “how the hell did they do that” moments.  Kudos to TBWA Hunt Lascaris Johannesburg and Egg’s Kim Geldenhuys
