Colgate's Shaving Lather - 1914
Anyone with interest in vintage ads/imagery (like me) can spend hours on this site. A great resource for a snapshot back in time with over 1000,000 vintage advertisements.
With well over 500,000 hits on YouTube this ad truly capturing imaginations. The video is visualization of an excerpt from the novel Going West by Maurice Gee. This excellent piece is produced by Colenso BBDO and animated by Line Andersen for the New Zealand Book Council whose mission is to inspire and promote reading in New Zealand.
Bringing Books and People Together
Like no other human activity reading opens up our imagination. It enables us to understand those around us. It allows us to project the future and reach back into the past. Reading can entertain, challenge and educate. We believe that reading can transform people’s lives.
For just $2.99, you can see the work of the world’s most brilliant and tortured artists.
Promoting Sky TV New Zealand’s Arts Channel, this print ad campaign highlighting tragic stories of some of the brilliant minds that were overlooked by luck in their times. Conceived and produced by DDB, these ads are quite visually engaging and informative.
Season 6 is out now. I watched these excellent clips a year ago and was completely blown away. Despite dance being quantum physics to me I think dancers’ synchronization in these clips with music, time and tempo is brilliant. The genius behind this campaign for a clothing retailer is out of box to raise brand awareness.
Uniqlo (UNIQue CLOthes), Japan’s leading clothing retail chain, came into world’s attention with its innovative online and integrated campaigns attracting millions worldwide. Produced by Projector Japan, Uniqlock is combination of music, dance and clock in a downloadable screensaver format and blog widget. In Projector’s words:
UNIQLO was seeking an innovative way to build its brand awareness internationally, and promote its business expansion into the global market. We recognized the 70 million blogs worldwide as a powerful buzz-building media, and created a functional and entertaining blog widget for the bloggers to spread the brand globally. The campaign concept we developed was the fusion of a CLOCK which functions as a blog utility, time signaling MUSIC, and DANCE performance videos with UNIQLO clothing. We named it UNIQLOCK. As a 100% UNIQLO branded widget, this automatically became a tool to connect UNIQLO and the world’s bloggers.
Despite the campaign becoming more rhythmic and animated, Season 1 is till my favourite. You can visit the whole archive here.
The latest series of Microsoft’s ‘Laptop Hunters‘ ads are really hurting Apple!
Some are suggesting otherwise though.
