Misereor: Social Swipe

Ever wanted to donate to charity but had no cash or change? No problem! Advertising agency Kolle-Rebbe have solved your predicament! Now you can swipe your credit card on this interactive advertisement and donate with a simple swipe. The video that plays once swiped is very pleasing and gives you a sense of actually doing more than just swiping your card – would have liked to see more versions though as there was only the two videos shown. Over 3000 Euros were made during the first month.

Squatty Potty: Unicorn

There are some adverts you watch and you think how did you come up with this?! They generally come from a difficult brief for difficult products to market – perfumes are one. I never understand the adverts for the perfumes, but as my fiance put it “how else do they get your attention for a product you can’t smell?” one point to him. They have to go to the other extreme to get us to watch it and remember it. but this product is well, hard, but definitely not as mainstream as perfume! Some days you wish you could be a fly on the wall and one I would put on my list s to be in the meeting where they came up with this! It’s very well done, and puts humour in to make it less embarrassing, hats off to the actor to be able to do it so well! #squattypotty to the rescue!

French Contrex: Stripping Light Show

This went round on Facebook the other week, but it turns out it’s an oldie! An oldie but a goody! French Contrex set up a row of bikes in front of a building. No signs. But as soon as curiosity won out one woman, others joined in and you can tell from the video they were pleased! So funny, I’ve never seen women so enthusiastic about exercise! Priceless moment when one lady even takes a break and makes her husband get on and spin! The harder they pedal the more they see, and it works!

Powerade: Workout Billboards

“Powerade presents: the world’s first “Workout Billboards”. Billboards, which are an advertising and training machine at the same time. By using the ad you could prove directly: You have more power than you think!”

Powerade created 3 different workout billboards, rock climbing, weight lifting and not exactly sure that the other is called! If anyone knows the right words let me know! I’m glad they did the variety, it works a lot better than just doing the rock climbing one. Nice team work by the public too, especially the creative attempt at the end which made me laugh!

Budweiser Superbowl 2015 Advert: Lost Dog

Superbowl weekend 2015 means loads of adverts coming out! While they start to make their way onto the internet and I get round to watching them all, here’s the one from Budweiser #BestBuds! Last year they brought out their Puppy Love #BestBuds advert, it was the only commercial that I enjoyed from the 2014 games. Lost Dog follows the puppy from the previous commercial on a little unexpected adventure. Very cute, heartwarming and all the puppy-ness you could use for a Monday!
