This is a campaign made to catch the attention of the consumers.

It is a buzz marketing campaign. This ad is the most expensive ever. It has been made for the 80 years of the brand Guinness. The creator is the same as Sony Bravia campaign with the colored rabbits.

Hard drugs ad:it kills your brain…

titehelo — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 16:08:24 +0000

This is an advertising campaign to show the danger of hard drugs. It is a viral marketing campaign. It is a bit shocking, “trash” but I think it is effective. A man is at a party, he goes to the toilets and opens his head to take a small part of his brainn puts it in small pieces and lines it up like cocaïne. This campaign makes react and can make people who already smoke hard drugs think. It is a quite violent ad but,so that people realize that drugs are really bad for health and kill you little by little, that kind of campaign is sometimes necessary.

Wilkinson ad: viral marketing.

titehelo — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:29:07 +0000

It is a Wilkinson ad made by Tribeca to promote its shaver. Actually, they use a baby who competes with his father to be the one who will have the softest skin. It is a new kind of ad because the baby is shown as a little “warrior” whereas usually, in ads, babies are cute and laugh. In this ad, the baby, who wants to be the one who will receive every hugs from his mother, practises to fight, at the end of the ad, his father! What an original idea!

Here is an interesting campaign to make parents react about the reality and the advertisements, magazines show us. In this ad, it is showed everything a little girl can see around her in the world she lives. She sees perfect body girls, beautiful women, some TV shows in which slim products are exhibited and the esthetic surgery. But Dove wants to remind parents that it is not the real life and to prove them that their little innocent girls are surrounded by the “woman perfection” and the miracle “remedes” to be the perfect one!These girls can be influenced by everything they see and could be tempted to do the same later. The goal of this ad is to show people that nothing is better than the natural beauty.

Sony Bravia ad: “the rabbits”

titehelo — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 09:00:13 +0000

This ad is the brand new for the LCD television Sony Bravia made by the Fallon agency. It is an ad made with Play-Doh rabbits which takes place in the street. The concept is that rabbits get multiplicated in different colours (yellow, blue, white, orange…). At the end, they transform into one big red rabbit which desintegrates in little coloured cubes. The slogan is, like in the previous LCD Sony TV Bravia ads ”colour, like no other”. The music chosen is very appropriated, it is “like a rainbow” of the Rolling Stones.

The colours used are very attractive, when you watch the ad, you are like hypnotised by these little coloured rabbits. The goal of this ad is to catch the attention of the viewers and to give him/her the envy of buying this TV with its high image quality.
