Cryptic Colour
Do you see it yet?
To test how good looking their new car is Skoda subtly change the scenery around the car. Quite clever really, except it was movement that was the distrafction, not the car.

The Both of You
It’s been around a while and won a load of awards. Mainly because it had an intrinsic truth at the heart of it – great communication always does. Too few insights are found and used properly, this was one case where they got it right. Well done Dove.

Snickers Transformation
Another series of print executions from the Snickers transformation campaign. The depth and variety show just how strong this approach is for the brand.
Here’s some previous Snicker posts Hungerlapse and Brady Bunch TV.
Here’s some TV that I particularly like in this campaign.
Climate Challenge
Blind Spot
VW warn people of the dangers of the driver’s blind spot using the ipad.
Lavish Dreaming
Moscow Property developers Dronstoy developed this 4 minute film to sell their dream using dreams. More filmic that dream for me, with all that owning a property in Moscow provides sown into the flow.
Bad Mouthing
Tooheys lets your mouth loose and gives it a voice.
Cheese is Cheese
Obviously not when it comes to Jarlsberg.
Make Every Yard Count
In a country of a billion, a young cricketer in India never looks at a lack of space as a problem. He looks at it as an opportunity. An opportunity to hit the ground harder, to run faster, to jump higher and stand taller.
Promotional ad by Nike aimed at one of the most passionate audiences of cricket. I particularly like the way it is edited to the music.

Dressgate
London Tube Test
Released as an online tease a couple of years ago by CBS Outdoor, evidently there are 75 different London Underground stations represented in there. Even though it’s been around for a couple of years I still can’t seem to find a definitive list of all the stations anywhere – perhaps you can still win prizes.
The one below is version two. This evidently has 100 underground, overground & DLR stations cryptically represented.
Here’s a detailed map that shows all the stations in the London area.

Beer Busters
A recent blog by Coley Porter Bell on top beer campaigns, listed WCRS’s Carling Black Label campaign as the top, and the famous award winning ‘Dambusters’ as the pinnacle of its product. The creative team Kes Gray and Jon Greenhalgh are old friends of mine, so well done boys. It’s tough staying in the memory of a high turnover industry.
Red Bull at it Again
Definitely a Honda rip off and enjoys the benefit of video editing, but still a entertaining combination of human stunts and inventive Heath Robinsonesque engineering.
Choose the Right Words
Author Aliya Whiteley asks, when many turns of phrase have become trite as a result of the constant bombardment of advertising, how do brands make words work for them?
Things We Don’t Want to Hear
Having been a judge for radio awards this strikes a chord with me. These are two short films made by Jim Elliott, the new global chief creative officer of Arnold Worldwide, and voiceover artist Paul Guyet catalogue all those annoying phrases, effects and tricks that the juries of 2015 Radio Mercury Award are just sick and tired of hearing. Quite a clever way of advertising an awards ceremony in its own right.
