Agency Venables Bell + Partners rides the Twilight vampire fetish with this spot highlighting Audi’s LED headlights being like daylight. Great idea and good production value here. I would change the final scene to have him vaporize right after the cut where he looks back at the Audi and realizes it’s the headlights…right after that [...]
Publicis Mojo Auckland, does an awareness integrated campaign for Greenpeace to bring awareness to the possible impact of opening NZ waters to deep sea oil drilling by using the recent tragic accident of the oil spill of Rena. The campaign used a dead baby penguin killed by the oil spill to make oil blot posters [...]
Agency Wieden + Kennedy, New York (they’re so hot right now) show they’re not just a Nike/Old Spice trick pony with this recent spot for ESPN with their tagline, “It’s Not Crazy, It’s Sports”. Characteristic of the Sport Center’s tongue in cheek humor, this one talks about the lengths sport fan[atics] (in this case, College [...]

I like the stop motion feel, and the physical manifestation of the browser as well as the integration of the Google services. I wouldn’t listen to the music again [...]
Where to start? Nike + Just do it have for so long set the bar for how a brand should be (for better or worse) in our industry. From every ad we see to the origins of Nike itself, to the iconic tagline, have defined and cajoled the raw emotions of what it means to [...]
Well since the Nike spot aired with Tiger, the industry has had their veritable panties in a knot – both in pleasure and in pain. Top ad execs weigh in with their gold / venom laced opinions. For me i don’t think this spot is about Nike selling golf clubs whatsoever. If you think about [...]
