Reggie Watts Diehard battery ad

You've gotta love this, what you don't have to do... is wonder how real the whole thing is!
Just watch, enjoy and shut the fuck up!

GO REGGIE!!!!!

Wii Pray

This is possibly one of the best advertising campaigns I have seen to date.
And this time it's not because of some new fandangled bit of tech or a simple bastardisation of the latest YouTube craze (you know who you are).

Meet the Viral:

A satirical Wii ad for a religious video game.

But the plot thickens.

Follow the links to the website www.Masswepray.com and see the TV ad/viral as well as their small array of products and a share a prayer option.



Any links from here will take the user directly to an ad for 'Dante's Inferno' an awesome looking game, seemingly based... 'IN HELL!'.
Now the pieces start falling into place.

(Not this ad)

Users are also invited to Damn their friends in a facebook app.

So what are you waiting for?
The third coming???

Damn away my friends.

iPaper

Thank you hellokinsella for such a sweet Tweet!

Now that's advertising!!!

Guinness brings their new slogan to life

I thought I should post this.
I, like many, am as impressed as I am disappointed.

Agency: AMV BBDO, London
Client: Guinness
Executive Creative Director: Paul Brazier
Creative: Paul Brazier

But that's not all: "Director Johnny Green recruited an elite team including Oscar winning set designer Grant Major and Oscar nominated Director of Photography Wally Pfister."


In all honesty I like it. It is well shot, well directed and it looks... well, Pretty damn cool.
I do think Guinness has been stumbling around for a while now, since the car dominoes we've seen 'Out of the darkness comes light', '17:59 It's Guinness time' and now 'Bring It To Life'. It seems confused and unfocused unlike... Yeah I don't need to say it, you'll probably be more rewarded if you wait anyway.

You Jessops!

Jessops sees the singular most Viral photo of the year as a horrid mistake!



We all like to be the first to the latest viral, news story or gadgetry, but how damning is not understanding your audience?
As the world fell in love with this opportunist rodent, the 'ermm' clever people at TBWA in Manchester were already planning how to turn it in their favour. Their solution, label it as a mistake that the world could do without. Their headline reads 'If only they'd gone to Jessops', if only the fucking creatives had gone to fucking Specsavers, they would have seen what a charming little chap they were about to condemn.

BOO JESSOPS!
YAY QUEEN!

Put Pockets

Talk talk went to the streets earlier this month to prove you CAN get something for nothing. Their objective was to put money back into the pockets of Britons everywhere, LITERALLY! They challenged 20 ex-pick pocketers to sneak money into the pockets of the unsuspecting public.
Fun and for a good cause, I am impressed.
