Dickheads And Crotchfaces In ‘Big Bad Wolf’

Written by Laurens Bianchi on October 26th, 2011 | 6 comments

If it ain’t become viral, shoot me! We haven’t seen anything strange, funny, hilarious and disgusting since Spanish football club Getafe asked fans to donate sperm, using a video featuring lesbian zombies from outer space! Crotchfaces and Dickheads, we love it!

“Big Bad Wolf” is the newest Duck Sauce track, after “Barbara Streisand”. Duck Sauce’s redundancy is what makes them so enjoyable, so it’s no surprise the duo’s new offering pretty much replaces “Barbra Streisand!” with “the big bad wolf!”

Weetabix – Becoming Relevant Again

Written by Daan Jansonius on September 13th, 2011 | 1 comment

Last weekend Weetabix launched a new advertising campaign. To my mind, Weetabix is far from an exciting brand. If anything, it is old fashioned, out dated and well, far from relevant.

Jon Stewart, of The Daily Show fame, really summed it up for me when he said:

Old Spice Guys Battle: Mano A Mano In El Baño

Written by Martin Michalik on August 7th, 2011 | 5 comments

Mano a Mano in El Baño. Together in a bath. What Old Spice has done in the last weeks was great, I have to admit I enjoyed the videos and the whole campaign a lot.

Old Spice Guys Battle: Mano a Mano in El Baño

The “fight” for the crown between the Old Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa and not so appealing Fabio through reactions on tweets, news articles and so on made it really an interactive conversation.

3 Videos To Test If Sex Still Sells

Written by Laurens Bianchi on July 26th, 2011 | 4 comments

Sex in advertising or sex sells is the use of sexual or erotic imagery (also called “sex appeal”) in advertising to draw interest to a particular product, for purpose of sale. A feature of sex in advertising is that the imagery used, such as that of a pretty woman, typically has no connection to the product being advertised.

That’s a great description Wikipedia! Did you get that from Chickipedia? ;-) Anyway, I (accidentally) bumped into 3 video’s today which are perfect to put the theory to the test. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: “I already know the outcome of the test”. Just imagine it’s just a fun way to post some great viral videos!

K-SWISS’ New Mother Fucking Brand Identity?

Written by Igor Beuker on July 18th, 2011 | 4 comments

Building a consistent brand – one that is messaging unified around the globe – can be quite a challenge for CMO´s sometimes. I do not know what has gotten into K-SWISS USA lately. Take a look at their new video with Mother Fucking CEO (MFCEO) Kenny Powers

With 500,000 clip views in just 10 days, the video is really going viral. And let me be clear: I like the video. But, since viral is a mean and not the goal, the most important question is: What is this video doing for the K-Swiss brand?

Did you recognize the K-SWISS brand in the video? Or should I ask: What K-Swiss brand do you mean? The USA one, the EMEA one or…

John Cleese Breaks Free In TomTom Videos

Written by Igor Beuker on May 28th, 2011 | 1 comment

TomTom pre-launched its global Break Free campaign on 24 May 2011. In several videos John Cleese, star of Fawlty Towers and Monty Python is trying to break free from a traffic jam. And when Cleese gets frustrated, he might just act as a selfish bastard…

To promote its new traffic service in an entertaining way, TomTom has teamed up with John Cleese and many local celebrities to create unique “Break Free from traffic” performances. Music is inspired by Queen’s hit “I want to break free”. A song I still love to hear.

Are you tired of stop-starting, horn-honking, clock-watching, mind-numbing, foot-aching traffic? TomTom’s revolutionary HD Traffic service helps you Break Free from traffic, is the central brand messaging.

People that love John Cleese or Queen (I want to break free) can see more of the exclusive videos on TomTom’s Facebook page.

Some say it’s far from being original, call it cliché and a ripoff of JK Wedding entrance , but on the other hand no one before used it for advertising.

Will Jennifer Aniston Make Smartwater Viral?

Written by Igor Beuker on March 8th, 2011 | 6 comments

Some brands have shown an affinity for disobedience when it comes to viral marketing: forgetting that viral is just a mean, not the end. But using Jennifer Aniston in their new video to hunt for that viral effect, might refresh Glaceau’s Smartwater

In the video Jennifer says she agrees with launching a sextape, to create a viral effect. But unfortunately we do not see her showering in Smartwater.

Nevertheless, the clip already showed over 400,000 clip views since it’s launch on 7 March 2011. And the video might even hit this week’s Viral Friday?
