Tango Clear Commercial by SummerSeventySix
It was bound to happen sooner or later: Sony's much noticed bouncy ball advert for their Bravia liine of T.V.s has been parodied to perfection by soft drink firm Tango, who have a long history of great commercials.
The haunting music by José Gonzalez remains, but a shoestring budget meant the ad wasn't shot in San Francisco, but the steep streets of Swansea in South Wales. The balls have been replaced with 43 crates of fresh fruit, to show off the drink's various flavors. Little touches like a watermelon smashing a window and a frog emerging from a drainpipe mean it works brilliantly.
You can see the ad here, as part of a spoof site pretending to represent the outraged members of the Swansea North Residents Association.
Also on CH: Zero 7.

New York Street Advertising Takeover
by Ariston Anderson Finding it difficult to locate a strip of space free from any advertising, Jordan Seiler of Public Ad Campaign did some research and found many of the billboards around New York City are illegal.

Converse by John Varvatos Spring 2009

Illustrator Justin Gabbard
I'd been trying to figure out who the illustrator was who had done a few of the beautiful pieces for this year's Kiehl's holiday display for awhile when I was serendipitously pointed toward a certain rep's website to check out some of their illustrators. I discovered it was Justin Gabbard. Score! Since finally coming upon Gabbard's site, I've been back more than a few times...

Mühlbauer Campaigns
Among felt molds, colorful ribbons and other bits of visual stimuli found at the Viennese workshop of Mühlbauer, the family-owned hat-makers that goes back three generations, I was particularly taken by the ad campaigns lining the halls. Spanning the decades with smart depictions of stylish women wearing hats, the colors, compositions and aesthetics of the vintage ads are like a walk through a history...

Pepsi Max Dying Calorie Campaign
Creating quite the advertising controversy, Düsseldorf-based agency BBDO has accomplished their goal of "creating the world's most compelling content" with their recent campaign for Pepsi Max, Pepsi's new one-calorie soda. Working off the idea that one is the loneliest number, BBDO created a series of cartoon drawings showing the lone calorie taking its life. (Click on the image for an enlarged version).
