ROYKSOPP!!!!!

Brundtland and Berge were schoolmates in their hometown of Tromsø, experimenting with electronic instruments in the early 90s. However, the duo did not appear as Röyksopp until years later when they met again in Bergen. The city was a vital scene for underground electronic music at this time, and the band worked with other Norwegian musicians such as Frost, Kings of Convenience’s guitarist/singer Erlend Øye, Those Norwegians and Drum Island in what was called the Bergen Wave.

LIGHT UP YOUR LUNGS!

As a former smoker, there is a time when you just want to quit smoking for your own good. its hard tho, to quit smoking one random day, its really a difficult thing. Advertisers are always looking for different angles to send messages to smokers, hard yeah but thru. This is a really good example of how below the line can get people´s attention.

MGMT GOING PORN

MGMT was called by Hugh Hefner. Why? Well aparently they are going to be part of this new campaign call Rock the Rabbit for the magazine’s annual sex and music edition.
Playboy launched Rock the Rabbit in 2007, each year handpicking a group of musicians (both up-and-comers and legends) to take a stab at redesigning the infamous and iconic bunny-eared logo. They get to offer up any sort of artistic interpretation of the bunny they’d like, and the artwork is featured on limited edition tee shirts, which you can buy here. A portion of the proceeds go to charity.

FAT SUPERHEROES

In order to communicate a health program to work out your body.The advertising agency used several superheroes and transform them into fat people. This means that even the superheores can get fat if they dont work out. Excellent use of the characters, not an innovative idea tho.



WEAR CONDOM



AMBIENT

Excellent strategy to highlight the functional benefits of the product. In the streets of Thailand there was developed this strategy. One of the best ambient i´ve ever seen!

ONE SECOND AD

Eveything is rumoring about the crisis, how difficult is becoming for advertisers to make a good commercial. You have here a good idea, a one sec ad!
Very straight forward and something differente

HOTTEST LESBIAN

RIMEL

It must be called as Suprise Marketing. This type of strategies are the most efficient, the ones who take by surprise the consumers, they don really see them coming. Your impact is deeper and the remembering of the brand sticks longer. This outdoor was made in the streets of london, i hope you like it.

GIGANTIC

In this times of crisis were innovation is a must, one ad agency in Kansas City made an ambient in pro of reading. The strategy was allocated outside of libraries in order to push consumers to read. Just to mention, some of the titles of the strategy are Farenheit 54, Lord of the rings and Romeo and juliett.
