Nike Momentum!



Director Nacho Gayán goes underground to offer us a totally different look
of the sports world. Outside big stadium and crowds, the ultimate challenge
is to face your inner fears, gaining success and respect among equals.

100 gipsy drummers get together with world class athletes in the new Nike’sad. The film introduces us into industrial settings and marginal stages toview a tension charged fight. The atmosphere´s intensity grows at thestrong beat of the public clapping and the occasional defying shouts thatcontenders address to each other.

Save The Children!




All the childhood should be like a fairytale. But there are several children that instead of living in a tale, live trapped on a nightmare due to the unfair difficulties present on their lives. Taking that under consideration, famous fairytale were transformed into nightmares showing that harsh reality. This campaign tries to seek volunteers to the cause.

Magic Bricks!

The creative, made by Mudra's Delhi branch, shows a young man, who seems to be napping at home, caught off guard, by a mobile call from his boss. He tells his boss that he is searching for his home, and won't be able to come to office. He even swears by his wife, that he was not fibbing about his house hunting. The camera then zooms onto his laptop, where it shows him actually surfing the MagicBricks.com site, with the tagline -- "Ghar Baithe Ghar Dhoondo." (Sitting at Home, Find your Home). Thank you krish for sending me this commercial!


Millimetres Matter!

Samsung Mobile, to promote their newest range of slimline phones - the Ultra Edition II they lauched this viral ad which went live at 00:01 on Tuesday 1st May. The film, ‘Millimetres Matter’, aims to capture the distinctive slimness of the Ultra Edition II handsets in the balletic grace and beauty of the natural world under the microscope. Illustrating insects up close and personal, whilst playfully including a selection of minute pies and desserts - the result is a microscopic pie fight recorded on film. Thank you Claire Watson from Immediate Future Ltd for sending me this work.

Ambush marketing at its best!


Thank you Eklavya for sending me this interesting piece of communication which was found in Mumbai, India. Jet Airways, one of the leading Airways in India anoounced to their customers that they have changed. Kingfisher Airlines, on top of it whipped them by saying "We made them change".

AMAM!


Text in the card:
Wet your finger and rub to find out what millions of women feel
After following the instructions, thanks to a special ink, the word NOTHING appears underneath.
Text back of card:
Over two million girls suffer genital mutilation every year. The AMAM association has very few members and strictly limited funds, for which reason it had to run a campaign with few resources but convincing, with a high profile. This is why a free postcard was chosen, to be distributed at strategic points where the target audience was to be found: arthouse cinemas, theatres, galleries, etc. The postcard’s impact was visible very quickly, with donations, e-mails and even mentions in the media.

Join our large, grieving community at www.ideenfriedhof.com and commiserate with friends over the grandeur of your idea. To find peace, please use the enclosed memorial park, which will make your desktop a place of solemn reflection.
