Santec Swing - What Ever Security Guard Wishes He Could Do To A Thief

Here's a great new ad for Santec Security Systems, in it a security guard nabs a would be thief before he breaks in to a warehouse and has some fun at his expense.

Santec Security Systems is one of the leading companies for video security systems. The goal was too show all opportunities of video control systems in a surprising and entertaining way. The strategy was to show, how impossible it is to escape, once you're caught by a security-camera.

New Peta Ad - Do It Like They Do

I was really liking the new ad for Peta, "Do It Like They Do" until they made the stupid claim that vegans have a bigger sexual appetite. Anyway here is Peta's blurb on the benefits of going vegan...

From humping bunnies to bonking buffalo – animals are getting frisky in our brand-new ad, produced by top creative agency Fallon! The mischievous video drives home the message that vegans are much more likely to be, well, in the mood, thanks to the proven (sexual) health benefits of a plant-based diet.

The secret to vegans' enhanced sex drive is simple: their diet is free from the artery-clogging cholesterol found in meat, eggs and dairy products, leaving them with better blood flow and a body that functions better – including in the bedroom! Vegans are also, on average, fitter and slimmer than meat-eaters and less prone to cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes and obesity.

The Visit - A Beautifully Authentic Switzerland Tourism Ad

Switzerland not only offers unique nature to holiday guests, but also a world of traditions. More in vogue than ever, festivals enjoy new attendance records, wrestling festivals are sold out and rustic customs such as flag waving, alphorn and yodel go through an impressive revival. "In Switzerland history is not only written, but also lived," said Jürg Schmid, Director of Switzerland Tourism. With this film, we will bring those true traditions closer to potential holidaymakers this summer.

Work It Kitty - Temptations Cat Treats

Work It Kitty, a great multi-phase campaign for the Temptations cat treat full press and credits below:

TEMPTATIONS TREATS LAUNCHES THE PURRFECT CAT WORKOUT: WORK IT KITTY

The cat’s out of the bag! The makers of TEMPTATIONS® treats, the irresistible snack cats love, is shaking up the feline fitness world in order to encourage Canadians to get more active with their cats. The leading Canadian cat treat brand quietly soft-launched its WORK IT KITTY™ campaign with the release of a cat workout/music video and www.workitkitty.com microsite.

The WORK IT KITTY™ video is the exclusive meowzercise workout for cats and features fictional characters Kate and George— cat hotel owners and premier cat workout professionals. Reminiscent of a 1980s workout, sweatbands included, cathletes Banjo, Fritz, Harley, Pumpkin and Tom, demonstrate the hottest feline fitness moves, including ‘paw rotations’; ‘jumping box squats’; and ‘paw extensions’.

“The TEMPTATIONS® All Natural treats brand wants to encourage Canadians to find simple ways to keep their cats active in a fun way,” says Brittany Compton, Senior Brand Manager, TEMPTATIONS®, Mars Canada Inc. “The WORK IT KITTY™ campaign video and microsite have generated great consumer response, and we’re thrilled that the campaign is gaining so much organic attention.

The WORK IT KITTY™ campaign, created by the TEMPTATIONS® treats’ creative agency DDB Chicago, officially supports the TEMPTATIONS® All Natural treats product portfolio.

Created in partnership with Ultra Music and produced by Biscuit Filmworks, the WORK IT KITTY™ video features the song I Don’t Wanna Dance by Alex Gaudino ft. Taboo. The video was seeded out to consumers through Ultra Music’s YouTube channel and encourages viewers to visit www.workitkitty.com. The video and microsite are currently supported with public and media relations by Fleishman-Hillard Toronto, and Proximity Canada is communicating the campaign through the TEMPTATIONS® treats Canada Facebook page.

The WORK IT KITTY™ campaign officially launches mid-July 2013 and targets Canadian cat owners and lovers, ages 18-49 years old. It will feature the video repurposed into a national, English and French 15 second ad by DDB Chicago that will run on a national television and pre-roll media buy co-ordinated by MediaCom. Match Ignite developed and will execute an in-store UPC collection and redemption promotion and in-store display tools as well as mass direct-to-target consumer sampling.

Peugeot Celebrates Filmmaking In New Adverts

Peugeot UK is releasing a new ad campaign celebrating the creative and technological advances in film-making, to mark its sponsorship of Sky Movies. The work is a series of idents created by Havas Worldwide London.

The idents, which are directed by Ivan Bird, aim to blur the lines between the film world and the filmed world, with the new Peugeot uniting both worlds as the centerpiece in each shoot. Each spot shows an individual piece of revolutionary film equipment and cuts between images of the equipment itself and footage that the equipment has shot. One of the idents focuses on an Octocopter camera, only four of which are in existence.

The idents were written by Harry Stanford and art directed by Mike Insley.

Nick Crossley, Manager Brand Advertising, Partnerships & Sponsorship at Peugeot, said: “The sponsorship of Sky Movies provides Peugeot with an excellent opportunity to showcase our passion driven mentality through the craft of film making. By including our definitional models we are able to give the public a taste of what Peugeot has to offer in a very premium and innovative way.”

The Decision - A Cliffhanger

This short film tells the story of two middle-aged friends who have lost control of their car and find themselves on the edge of a cliff. In this precarious situation, the two talk about whether they want to donate their organs or not. What sounds very serious, is treated with humor and exaggeration by the film. Thanks to this unconventional approach, the film opens access to serious issues whose decision is often put off for far too long.

Renault Clio RS Creates The Ultimate Speed Dating Experience

These speed daters knew they would be filmed but had no clue why... Is it for a story? A television programme? In any case, it's an experience they won't soon forget.

This is speed dating in every sense of the word and these are real "speed daters" in search of their soul mate. Among them is Caroline, a young, sexy and charming woman. She doesn't have the same concept of "speed dating" as others. That's why a big surprise awaits her contenders...even the most macho among them.

Garden Chair Throws Tantrum In Latest Ad For Cuprinol’s Cheer It Up Campaign

Consumers are urged to cheer up tired old outdoor furniture in a new ad created by 18 Feet & Rising for AkzoNobel brand Cuprinol. The ad shows a wooden garden chair that has seen better days on its back in the garden having a tantrum, unlike their earlier advert where the Garden Shed spit up milk the chair is a little more in control.

When its owner gives it a new coat of paint from the Cuprinol Shades range, the chair is instantly cheered up and behaves itself.

It is the latest in Cuprinol’s ‘Cheer it up’ campaign, reminding people that tired old wood can be given a new lease of life with Cuprinol Shades. The new spot ends with a call to action – a special offer on testers of 3 for £1.

Cuprinol’s Shades range has 92 different colours, larger than any competitor colour range in a market that is likely to grow significantly over 2013. This range is the focus of the brand’s marketing communications for the year.

Kathryn Ledson, Marketing Manager Specialist Brands at Akzonobel, said: "Cuprinol has always been passionate about protecting garden wood and enhancing outdoor spaces. We want our new campaign to show people how simple it can be to add personality and colour to outside spaces and inspire people to ‘Cheer It Up!' With the new range of Garden Shades, it’s the perfect time to brighten up Britain’s gardens."

Volkswagen up! Commercial - Tall Girl

In this latest ad for Volkswagen we follow a tall woman on a series of dates in her quest to find the perfect partner. The problem is that every man she meets is simply too small for her. After a number of failed dates with different men, we see her waiting for her next date. He arrives in a Volkswagen up! and our leading lady looks dejected: if he's driving that car, he's probably the shortest man of all, she thinks.

Imagine her surprise and delight when the door opens and out steps a strapping 6'3 hunk of a man! She's finally found true love and a suitably tall companion in the most unlikely of places - the surprisingly spacious Volkswagen up!

Coca-Cola - Here's To Falling In Love

This adorable little spot from Fitzgerald + Co. encapsulates everything that's fun and young about the Coca-Cola brand. It shows two kids falling in love, Cokes in hand, at a Six Flags. They ride the rides, but in between, they laugh and play—and don't kiss. That's right, you thought they'd kiss, but that's too cliché. With unbearably sweet innocence, our hero accidentally touches the girl's hand, and she draws a heart on his palm, and then she puts her head on his shoulder as the sun goes down. But there is no kiss and no suggestion that either of them wants anything more than to spend a perfect day together. It warms the old heart cockles with simple, classic storytelling, and provides a refreshing breather from today's cynical world.

Rebel Chique Diamonds - F&%K Print Ad

Rebel Chique are man-made diamonds by Royal Asscher and as explained by the Amsterdam ad blog: "This one doesn’t need much explanation. Combine the brand Rebel Chique with a diamond ring and you simply present the brand on your middle finger. Fuck! That’s smart. Rebel Chique is a Royal Asscher brand, representing man-made diamonds, which are diamonds that are artificially made – and thus conflict free. A brand for an entire new target group. Hence the rebellious name and ad. Created by Wolf, photography by Gerrit Schreurs."

New Ads for NewYork-Presbyterian Feature Special Ops Officer

NEW YORK, NY—As one of the nation’s top academic medical centers, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is well known for the latest in innovative clinical research and advanced medical treatments. What was not well understood, however, was the way its doctors, nurses and staff routinely go above and beyond to care for their patients before, during and after surgery. In fact, many people believed quite the opposite was true. This esprit de corps is critical to what these individuals do every day, and has resulted in countless incredible medical outcomes for patients and their families.

To showcase this remarkable standard of care, Munn Rabôt asked real patients to share their inspiring stories in television commercials for NewYork-Presbyterian as part of the hospital’s “Amazing Things Are Happening Here” campaign, introduced in 2011. To select patients, Munn Rabôt uses a comprehensive screening process where patient cases supplied by the hospital are reviewed, and patients are then interviewed in consideration for the final filming of the ads. In order to truly emotionally engage the viewer with these stories of extraordinary personal and medical care, we use 60-second ads so that these narratives can completely unfold.

As we’ve learned throughout the duration of the “Amazing Things” campaign, no two stories are the same, and any patient could have an unbelievable experience to share. One such patient we met who had a compelling story was retired Lieutenant Colonel John O’Brien. Now 52, John had served four tours as a Special Operations officer in the Middle East. The recipient of a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for his service to his country, John is without a doubt an American hero—but not without a cost.

As John explained during our in-depth interview, the horrors seen during war can leave both the mind and the body ravaged. Over 500,000 United States participants in the Middle East conflicts may suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and John O’Brien is one of them. As Munn Rabôt’s CEO, Orson Munn, states, “Many of these individuals are severely wounded, and, while it is not as apparent as a missing limb, having PTSD can be just as crippling and disabling.”

Confronting the terrors of war—especially when returning home after four tours—takes an entirely new kind of bravery and courage. NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital has been working diligently to pioneer new medical and virtual therapies to help those with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. According to Munn, once he heard that the hospital was leading a clinical trial to help returning soldiers cope with PTSD, he “wanted to get the word out” because “these people have served our country to protect our freedom—the least we can do is give them the help they need and the support they deserve.”

NewYork-Presbyterian will launch five advertisements beginning April 29th accompanied by an online microsite featuring retired Lieutenant Colonel John O’Brien and his medical team, Drs. JoAnn Difede and Judith Cukor. With these unique ads, NewYork-Presbyterian and Munn Rabôt draw awareness to the common biases associated with seeking mental health treatment. Lt. O’Brien unmasks the stigma associated with PTSD treatment—the perception that seeking therapy means you’re “weak.” In the candid, engaging manner that the “Amazing Things” campaign is known for, John explains his struggles with PTSD and his treatment at NewYork-Presbyterian: “[It’s] brought me to a point in my life where I can really start to move on and do the things I want to do.

McDonald's Big America Burger Is Blessed By President Obama

The Jerusalem-based ad agency TBWA\Yehoshua creates a great new ad for McDonald's Israel promoting the Big America burger. The commercial features the Secret Service rounding up teenagers who are obviously McDonald's employees enjoying their night off to be whisked into work to prepare the burger for President Obama. An Obama look-a-like pulls into the drive thru and says "God bless Israel...Big America".

If you're thinking you have seen this before well you have, it is basically the same spot that ran back in 2008 minus the Big America burger and replace President Obama with then President George Bush. Bush wasn't so keen to bless anyone he was just happy McDonald's was open.

A Collection Vintage Dickies Menswear Print Ads

Nuggets of Nostalgia: DickiesStore Discovers Marketing Material from Decades Ago

Having recently happened upon an archive of advertising artefacts, DickiesStore is happy to release a wealth of ad campaigns from as far back as the 1930s. This treasure trove of relics has got many retrophiles revelling in the rich history of this couture-centric print media that has been unearthed.

Although the sentiment and commitment to designing top quality workwear and fashion forward casual wear has remained consistent throughout Dickies’ history, these newly discovered gems clearly trace the ebb and flow of advertising and marketing methods over the past 90 years.

The Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company faced challenging times in its early years, as the Great Depression was crippling the US economy. But as sturdy and tough as the workwear they were designing, the company weathered the storm and set a benchmark in the industry, marketing themselves as the all-American clothing brand.

As the 50s came around a great emphasis was placed on Dickies being the premium retailer of attire for the “man of production”. On a societal level times have changed dramatically since then but at that point [see image 2] advertising clearly addressed the fact that Dickies manufactured workwear that was easy wearing, easy looking and easy to maintain.

Dickies advertising of the 1960s shifted focus somewhat, catering towards the cool kids on campus. The brand identified that scholars wanted to look good and feel comfortable both in and out of class.

As they introduced imagery of motorcycles and sports cars, the marketing material from the late sixties that DickiesStore recently uncovered clearly spoke to an audience who led a care-free but fashion conscious lifestyle.

In the late 70s and 80s the Dickies brand broke through with a range of funky apparel that really identified with the pop generation. Dickies exemplified what it meant to be hip, cool and colourful. This sense of fun went hand-in-hand with their continuous pursuit of producing durable and comfortable clothing. Dickies also began more powerfully introducing their iconic logo - the horseshoe – into their campaigns and although it represents a solid, reliable product, when it comes to the manufacturing of top quality workwear, Dickies isn’t in need of any extra luck. via: DickiesStore Blog.

How Do You Hail A Cab In NYC - "Variations on a Hail" Ad

The art of catching a cab is about to get a 21st century makeover, courtesy of a new app from the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission. To welcome this new age of transportation, Flatiron-based production studio Click 3X has donated its considerable resources to create “Variations on a Hail,” a new spot developed by Cooke&Co CD/Copywriter Marty Cooke, executed and financed entirely through Click 3X, and shot by Click 3X directors Josh Ruben & Vince Peone.

“Variations on a Hail” is a funny and educational video airing specifically on NYC taxi televisions. With a voiceover and appearance by NYC Taxi and Limousine Commissioner David Yassky listing all of the tried and true hailing “techniques,” the spot culminates with the most technologically advanced “hail” in history – the TLC smartphone app that will allow users to contact nearby taxicabs. The app promises to make life easier should New Yorkers find themselves in need of a ride in an unfamiliar part of the city, late at night, or while rushing to their next appointment.

A pro-bono project created for the benefit of the studio’s beloved home city, Click 3X managed production and all the stages of post, including color grading, VFX, and finishing. Click 3X also drafted its friends at audio post studio Heard City to handle mix and sound design. The directorial duo, also known as j+v, earned its reputation as CollegeHumor.com’s premiere video team – producing, directing, and starring in hundreds of videos over their six-year residency there. They bring their tongue-in-cheek comedic tone to “Variations on a Hail,” imparting a fun and informative overall affect to the PSA.

Volkswagen Front Assist - "Crash Zoom" Case

The Front Assist system uses a radar sensor to detect when the distance of the vehicle in front is critical. In dangerous situations, it alerts the driver with visual and acoustic signals and with a warning jolt of the brakes. If the driver doesn't react, it generates the necessary braking pressure to avoid the collision. We had to find a technologic and surprising way to to make the new Front Assist understandable to anyone. We convey the Front Assist's benefit directly to the characteristics and usability of an iPhone or an iPad. We called it The Crash Zoom.

Motion Graphics Studio leftchannel Breathes Optimism into PSA for Natural Resources Defense Council

Looking to shed light on the disastrous effects plastics are having on the world’s oceans, the international environmental advocacy non-profit group Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) turned to leftchannel – the motion design studio led by Executive Creative Director and President Alberto Scirocco. Leftchannel was challenged to craft an entertaining yet informative public service announcement that would be a call to action for viewers to “reduce, reuse and recycle” plastic packaging.

“The skills leftchannel brought to this project are valuable for translating a complex issue like this, to visually show this system and how we can make positive changes,” Leila Monroe, a Staff Attorney with the NDRC Oceans Program, says.

After the organization approached leftchannel to translate the complex issue of plastic pollution to a visual platform with a positive message, Scirocco and leftchannel’s creative team (which included designer/animators Taehee Lee and Nick Schoener) set to creating a concept and script that avoided the usually negative tone found in most environmental PSAs. Rather, they harnessed the studio’s abilities to marry 2D and 3D character animation with motion design to inform viewers in a positive way.

“Our goal was to remind people how important this issue is, without giving the impression that they were being criticized or that we were trying to scare them,” Scirocco says. “Americans have been recycling plastics for a long time, but the current recycling programs aren’t working anymore and NDRC wanted a new approach – one that informs and entertains in a constructive manner.”

That new approach can be seen in the PSA entitled “The Great Plastic Purge” -- a two-minute animated piece that was inspired by after school specials from the 1950s. The character animation style keeps the tone light, which helps engage the audience, while expressing important facts in a way that is never boring.

The PSA opens with a shot of a young boy happily ripping open a birthday present that’s wrapped in numerous layers of plastic, all of which he cheerfully throws away. From there the piece follows the packaging from the boy’s home to the ocean floor, while a chipper voiceover informs about how Americans waste $8 billion a year due to plastics making it into the nation’s waterways.

This project presented several challenges. According to Schoener, from a story telling perspective, effectively illustrating why the system was broken was challenging. “We had to first understand it ourselves,” he says, “then communicate it in a way viewers could easily connect with and understand.”

For Lee, the most challenging scene to animate was the underwater scene. “It was complex because it contained a lot of different 2D animated trash objects that all needed to be integrated carefully into the scene. Because the scene connects to a 3D scene afterwards, the integration of the two was tricky -- both 2D and 3D had to look consistent,” Lee says.

Scirocco says, “It was a challenge to take a bleak story and turn it into an optimistic one. Overall, the animation needed to address three main points in a memorable, engaging manner: bring awareness to the issue; suggest that manufacturers be held responsible for coming up with innovative packaging solutions; and get consumers to take action to reduce, reuse and recycle.”
