Mentos Truck

Just came across this clever advertising campaign via the sites Ads of the world and The Cool Hunter. The stunt took place in three cities: Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal and was created by the advertising agency Cossette, Montreal, Canada.

Hydrate Your Brain

I imagine most of you have already seen this advert which has been on TV lately but I thought it deserved a mention. It is by CHI & Partners, London and is for the new Britvic drench water which builds mental hydration and performance.You can watch it here and this website is great too as it gives you the rating of current TV adverts worldwide.

New Sony 'Bubbles' Ad

The new Sony 'Foam City' and is about to hit our screens, advertising Sony's cameras : Alpha DSLRs, Cyber-shots, and Handycams. In the ad, Miami becomes a 'soapy free-for-all when 120 million gallons of bubbles are unleashed in the streets.' The world's largest foam machine was custom-built for the shoot, and pumped out over 500,000 gallons of foam per minute. Previous Sony beauties include the giant animated bunny rabbits in New York, the exploding paint building and the millions of coloured balls in San Francisco. Beautiful. Watch it here

Just for Fun

Just found this photo from a work trip to San Francisco, it was an advert on the side of a removals van. Humour ideas anyone?

Nicked?....bunnies

In response to Neil's earlier post about Kozyndan, I bring you some interesting news regarding the new Sony Bravia bunny advert.....

Kozyndan have suggested that perhaps the idea for the advert isn’t quite as original as you’d think. Speaking of the above illustration, they say, “ It’s hard to think that people at Passion Pictures did not have this early panoramic in mind when they created this new spot for the Sony bravia line.”

They blame advertising agency Fallon who previously asked to see samples of their work. (Fallon by the way have a super cool website check it out here)

It certainly brings up the debate of the ownership of ideas, stealing ideas within design, etc which some people say is unavoidable these days. What do you think?

On a more positive note, the advert, which is the world’s largest stop-frame animation, is bloody brilliant. You can see it here
