Freixenet: The Key to Reserva

Image
Just got this sent to me. This is absolutely brilliant work for a brand who supposedly isn't even that big. Anyway, watch it and let me know what you think. I reckon it's going to be a definite Cannes contender, maybe even D&AD. Credits: Agency: JWT Barcelona (Spain) Thanks to Marcos Drummond

Blockbuster: Christmas

Another Christmas ad, another good one. This one reminds me of how it is at home, a lot of people, a lot of confusion. Every year we seem to have more people joining us, one day we'll have to build an extension just to make the dinner table bigger. Anyway, this ad supposedly has 35 references to movies. Can you spot them all? Great work by DDB Toronto.

Coca-Cola: Beard

It's almost the 1st of December, pretty soon we'll be doing the Christmas decoration, so here goes the new Christmas Coca-Cola ad to help you get in the spirit. Some people say the ad is a bit clichet, but I like it. Credits: Agency: Ogilvy Argentina Production: Rebolucion , Buenos Aires (Argentina) Director: Armando Bo Thanks to Inês Casola

Wieden+Kennedy seeking

Image
This might just be your chance to have some fun while producing great work. I'll be giving it a shot myself. Good luck guys. What W+K say about seeking: With only one ad running so far (THEME magazine, which came out 4 days ago), the site's already generated hundreds of submissions. More ads coming in BITCH, ALARM and GIANT ROBOT. After people submit their profile, we request a 20 page pdf - which can be as much or as little like a traditional portfolio as they decide to make it. We hope to get 1000+ pdfs that we narrow down to 50 or so. Then we'll invite those people in to meet. We may try to link them together in some sort of social network. Maybe we'll hire a few. If you're interested, visit the link above. Via: welcome to optimism

Nike: Beautiful Monster

Image
This is the new Nike "Team Elite" campaign by w+k Portland. The copy and photography are very good in the press versions, I however feel they aren't nearly as good as the TV ad. Beautifully directed, cool music, nice photography, it leaves you wanting to see more. Is there a longer version of this ad?

Lego: Kipper (old commercial)

I'm sure this ad would still win Cannes today. Great stop-motion advert, definitely a classic of advertising.

Bouygues Telecom: Creation of the list

Great advert by DDB Paris for Bouygues Telecom. Fun, well produced, with great details such as "papa portable" and "papa maison", the 2 Zs, and the unidentified number. Most definitely worth watching. Credits: Agency: DDB Paris (France) Thanks to Gustavo Azevedo
