Cadburys Scream Eggs come to life for Haloween

Here's one for Halloween from Canada. Meet the Cadbury Screme Eggs.

From Zombies to vampires these animated ads are great fun.

'Get them while they last.'

'C' word used in announcement eShot

Disaster hit soup restaurant chain Hale and Hearty last week when an eshot was sent out  to its customers with some quite surprising text.

Don't read on if you are easily offended.

The eshot announced the opening of a 'new' location and then added, "As an added bonus: Mary- you know the cxxt from 47th street- will serve you personally in any manner you choose. So cum one and all to our new location at 464 West Mount Pleasant Avenue, Livingston, NJ."

So how did this happen? Was it a disgruntled employee or placeholder copy that never got caught? No, it was a case of email hacking.

Apparently the passwords have now been changed so hopefully it won't happen again.

Not for the faint hearted

Do you have a phobia about lifts? Do you take the stairs just in case? 

If so then this video will definitely not help.

This is the latest viral ad from LG, 'So Real its Scary', which has probably put a few unsuspecting lift users in therapy.

Get set for Movember

If you're thinking of joining the 'Movember' enthusiasts this week then this video is for you.

Featuring actor Nick Offerman, who plays a character Ron Swanson in US TV show 'Parks and Recreation', this two minute guide helps you to grow an awe-inspiring moustache.

Get your cologne, whale oil and beef tallow (don't know what that is?) ready for a successful Movember.

Darren the Bear tells his story

You may have seen the new IKEA ad 'Playing with my friends' on TV recently featuring over-sized toy characters sitting down for dinner.

But have you seen the 'making of' film featuring one of the lead actors, Darren the Bear.

A great pseudo-documentary featuring the store cleaning bear who gets his big break in the ad and changes his life.

We like the subtle humour, especially the bus.

Enjoy!

From mono to colour

Here's a fun video by film maker Eran Amir.

From Black and White to Colour.

The entire film was shot in one go without any color correction and at the end you can see how he went about making it.

Abstract art that comes to life

London-based duo Tim Noble and Sue Webster have recently opened their first solo show since 2006 at Blain|Southern gallery in London.

The show is titled Nihilistic Optimistic and includes six large-scale sculptures built from what appear to be haphazard clumps of discarded wood. When illuminated by a light they create accurate self-portraits of the artists. 

The artists comment: 'Tim Noble and Sue Webster take ordinary things including rubbish, to make assemblages and then point light to create projected shadows which show a great likeness to something identifiable including self-portraits. The art of projection is emblematic of transformative art. The process of transformation, from discarded waste, scrap metal or even taxidermy creatures to a recognizable image, echoes the idea of ‘perceptual psychology’ a form of evaluation used for psychological patients. Noble and Webster are familiar with this process and how people evaluate abstract forms. Throughout their careers they have played with the idea of how humans perceive abstract images and define them with meaning. The result is surprising and powerful as it redefines how abstract forms can transform into figurative ones.'

The show runs until 24th November and you can find out more here.

Waterstones campaign that makes you think

We like this new ad campaign for Waterstones by Leagas Delaney. Nice copy writing that hits home and gets you thinking.

Bodyform asks if you can handle the truth

When Bodyform received a rant on their Facebook page from a disillusioned male visitor they decided that it deserved a response.




Yulia Kretova, brand controller for Bodyform said in a statement: "We found Richard's post very amusing and wanted to continue the positive dialogue around periods that this generated. Working with the brand for five years, breaking down the taboo around Bodyform and periods has always been a challenge, and I hope that we have started to address this. Carat has created an original and uniquely personalized response, brilliantly PR-ed by Myriad, allowing Bodyform to quickly engage in consumer conversations in a meaningful way."

A very amusing response to social media interaction.

Coke gets interactive

Coke Zero has been getting interactive with the latest Bond movie. 

In a live marketing stunt at a railway station they invited Coke purchasers to take a challenge to win exclusive tickets for the latest 007 movie, Skyfall. Having to rush across the station to beat the clock Coke didn't make it easy for them.

A fun interactive marketing stunt that has gone viral with more than 2 million views.

Surreal ads from Drambuie

A very surreal advertising campaign from Drambuie, following on from their 'A Taste of the Extraordinary' press campaign. Did Dali have a hand in this?
