The 10 Best Commercials of 2011

The 10 Best Commercials of 2011
Many people groaned last winter when it became clear that Super Bowl XLV would be packed bumper to bumper with automotive ads. It's not a category that's exactly wowed with its creativity in recent years. It was a pleasant surprise, then, when many of the car spots proved not only tolerable but wonderful. Now, with the year almost passed, it's become clear that two of those ads in particular—Chrysler's "Born of Fire" by Wieden + Kennedy and Volkswagen's "The Force" by Deutsch—weren't just among that evening's best spots. They turned out to be among the year's best. Those two ads are joined by a third car commercial, Nissan Leaf's "Gas Powered Everything" by TBWA\Chiat\Day, in Adweek's ranking of The 10 Best Commercials of 2011, presented here. Elsewhere, the list celebrates work across a wide variety of products, themes, styles, and geographies. Congratulations to all the agencies and clients on the list, and the creative-services companies that helped bring their visions to life. 10.

Et non tout n'était pas mieux avant Après les visuels print et affichage dévoilés il y a quelques semaines.Le Mouv et son agence DDB révèlent le volet digital de la campagne, en osant un cran plus loin et affirmant d’autant plus fort que vivre dans notre époque, c est quand même mieux. Et pour ce volet digital, la station n'y va pas par quatre chemins en remettant en scène par Bo Mirosseni, un jeune couple amoureux ayant recours à l’utilisation d‘un des ancêtres du préservatif, le pire, celui en boyau de mouton. Cette utilisation n’était pas sans risques, comme le démontre le film qui se dote d’un effet contagieux touchant même un écureuil. Non, tout n'était pas mieux avant...par LeMouv

Advertising that will catch your attention: 20 awesome billboards | Design daily news Most of the time, billboard ads are an annoyance, filling the side of the roads with cheap design and poor concepts. However, the billboards in this posts are not your ordinary billboard. These are funny, creative and/or well-thought ads that really stand-out. 1. IKEA billboard 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Toi aussi tu zaimes les comm. touristiques bien chaudes ? Bon, autant le dire tout de suite, je ne veux pas voir le mal partout. Il n’est pas non plus question de créer des problèmes là où il n’y en a peut-être pas. Néanmoins, je souhaite dans ce présent billet évoquer ce qui pourrait devenir, malheureusement, une nouvelle tendance dans la communication publique, voire dans le marketing territorial, en tous les cas dans la communication touristique : la “promotion teintée Q”. Et ce billet est largement inspiré par la récente campagne promotionnelle du Jura, qui a créé depuis avril 2012 un bad buzz d’abord local puis national en faisant appel aux codes des publicités pour les téléphones roses et autres sites coquins pour vanter les mérites du département et de ses charmes touristiques (bad buzz finement décortiqué par le blog Le Bison Teint qui évoque également les conséquences indirectes du “tout radio” en termes de compréhension du nom de domaine). Ce mot, charme, devrait d’ailleurs nous mettre la puce à l’oreille.

9 Innovative Outdoor Ads When I first saw this health club bus shelter ad with a scale built into the seat, my first reaction was, "That's brutal." But my second thought was it would definitely get my attention. Recently, I've seen quite a few examples of unique outdoor advertising. Tryvann Ski Resort Tryvann Winter Park is fifteen minutes from the center of Oslo, Norway. McDonald's What do you get when you combine one golden arch with a reflective wall? Folgers Coffee These NYC manhole covers for Folgers Coffee are actually a couple years old, but I remember liking them when I saw them, and the steam was a nice touch. To help spread goodwill and ease financial burdens for cities across the country, KFC sent letters to mayors nationwide, offering to fill their potholes in exchange for allowing them to leave a message saying the hole was "Refreshed by KFC." More McDonald's Here's another Mickey D's billboard. Crisis Who doesn't love LEGOs, especially when they're thirty-feet long and weigh several tons?
