Fishy Poster

A Frankfurt seafood restaurant, 'Fisch Franke' have come up with an interesting new poster gimmick. Basically they filled up a roadside poster and then added live trout! The world's first poster aquarium has apparently been very good for sales…

How cool

Ikea wins the award for consistentcy

Lots of brands do brilliant work online these days but I have to take my hat off to Ikea for consistency. It seems someone at Ikea or their agency just 'get it' and encourage great work.


The latest piece of work uses the time lapse camera technique they have been building on for a while and it basically follows two diner parties but the films are played in reverse. Simple yet captivating.

Here is an incomplete list of the great work I have seen, some of it is just an evolution of an idea over time but there are a few things they all have in common:

1. They are simple ideas
2. They are all beautifully executed
3. They all link back directly and seamlessley to the product - but in a very natural way

Holly Mackerel Batman, your faster than a speeding bus!

Just got sent this from James and it made me laugh - sometimes the low tech solution is even better than the hi tech.

Domestic Violence - You can make a difference

I was asked to share this piece of work on domestic violence from one of our sister agencies in Canada - Fjord.

Not only is it a very important cause, but it’s also a great example and use of interactivity. The piece is very powerful, strong and with a simple design at the same time. I really like the physical metaphor, and the way the story unfolds with the users interaction.

You Tube Interactive Game

I just saw this on Digg - you can play Street Fighter II on You tube with a series of linked video's that respond to interactive buttons in the video.



This is very cool, a bit clunky but once you press the key - it loads up another video (there are 100 videos on the sequence) and it then shows your attack. If you fail to press a button in a certain time then the opponent video plays.

Really nice application of interactive video technology, and lots of hard work - over 500k+ views in less than 4 days tells me its worked.

BBC 6 Music Street Art TV Commercial - Strangely Familiar

I have seen this TV ad for BBC 6 music a couple of times now - it is very good and works really well with the soundtrack - RKCR did a nice job on it and I like it.




But it does remind me of a Brazilian Street Art video I saw about 4 months back, who use this time lapse technique and make crazy/cool animated videos all done in a single day. Maybe RKCR used these guys to do the ad - the style is very similar. They are called Blu.

When your browser's, web address bar becomes creative

For years copywriters and earnest clients have spent many a long hour finding an available url that peaks the interest of the client or is relevant to the brand. Well now Sixt the German hire car company have taken browser address bars and urls to a new level of creativity - courtesy of the splendid Adverlab blog.

Here the Sixt guysa have created a new format of advertising on a 3rd party site, that has cars racing across the address bar using ascii characters, then a brand message - clever boys

BK Whopper Sacrifice

WOW! those guys at Burger King are in the news everyday for cranking out cool digital work at the moment.



In order to get a free Whopper you have to sacrifice (give up) 10 of your so called friends in face book (not much of a dilemma here). Another great example of a brand doing something fun and good for once using social network sites in the right way. There have only been a few - I thought the O2 promotion last year at the dome was brilliant too.

So many people get it wrong but BK have been doing great work for years so its hardly surprising they have nailed this one - the pr opportunity is likely to be massive, and measurable - I can already feel the 'We saw 10,000,000 friends traded for a million burgers that's how much you love the whoppers' ad coming. Apparently there are people forming groups on face book to offer themselves as sacrificial stooges. You know you are on to something when it takes a life of its own.

A Morning 'Cuppa' that really is music to your ears

Just saw this on Ted.com looks great fun. I love a morning cup of Tea like every self respecting Brit but this is on another level.

Perhaps Tetley, PG Tips or the rest of them will bring out a new variant?

Brilliant Virgin Atlantic Ad

I just saw the new Virgin Atlantic TVC and its great, celebrating 25 years of Virgin Atlantic. It reminds me a bit of the Hovis ad our friends at MCBD did in terms of the historic flash back, but it is very cool and very nostalgic. Loving the soundtrack.
