MY AD OF THE WEEK .80

I can't believe I've already written 80 of these.

This week I was weighing up which of two dog ads to share with you, but this one had to win. It's for the Dutch airline KLM. Let me first ask you this though, have you ever left anything on the plane and only released you lost it when it was too late?

Well for these lucky passengers, this cute dog brought their lost items back to them as they'll walking out of the airport. They should have a dog like this for every airline at every airport.

This week it goes to these simple and beautifully crafted ads for John Lewis, to announce the arrival of their new store in Southampton. It's nicely art directed by Adam&Eve/DDB and they have really chosen the products well.

These are my two favourite from the outdoor campaign.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .78

Canal +, who in recent years have done 'The Bear', an ad of a film director, directing the set, production etc but the director was a bear, it was very good and an multi award winning ad too. Watch it again.

So they have just done this ad for their sports channel and I also do love my football. So it shows how dedicated their cameramen are, to get fantastic images/footage for the fans, with the new tagline 'Making sport bigger is our sport'.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .77

There are a lot of ads that take the micky out of Apple, some do it a lot better than others and this is one that has done it very well.

IKEA have taken the technique Apple use to present their new products to display their new catalogue. There are some great touches in it throughout, linking to iPad and Macbook Pro ads especially.

NEWS

My blog has been pretty inactive the last month, mainly being back in the UK for a few weeks, sorting through boring visa forms and also starting a new job a couple of months ago at this fantastic advertising agency in Perth called Gatecrasher. Here I am kissing my football teams badge on their site (Charlton Athletic). Up the Addicks.

So my 'Ad of the week' is now back and so are even more updates.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .76

Here is an ad that was hard on YouTube as they blocked it, but it's now back. It's by Greenpeace wanting Lego to end a deal with Shell, that shows antarctica made from Lego being covered in real oil. It's well shot, with track you'll remember and it's also only ranked up a couple of million views this week.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .75

Burger King (Hungry Jacks for Australia) have created this ad using an interesting media space to support Gay Pride in San Francisco. They created special packing called the 'Proud Whopper', that has messaging on the inside of the wrappers saying 'We are all the same inside'. I think it's a really nice way to reveal the messaging and I haven't seen wrappers used in this way before. Have you?
