A very clever print ad by an international cleaning supply company, Spontex.  What stands out in the ad is the use of color and geometry.  The square shapes and sharp lines accompanied by the two bulbous oil jars make the picture visually pleasing while the blue shows you what is missing.  Spontex is showing that their sponges are so strong you wont need a sink.  Would be nice but where would we stack our dirty dishes?

With a slogan like “A beer that will put hair on your face” its not wonder Chet’s Brewing Company is raising a few eye brows.  The company claims that the slogan is to draw in men who fit their 21-44, outdoor life style demographic.  With such beers as “Chet Pitches a Tent”, a Belgian style wheat ale released in the summer months, and “Brown Chicken, Brown Chet”, a mild brown ale briefly aged in an oak barrel to slightly add a smoke taste, Chet’s attempts to connect with those who love the outdoors.  When asked why the company chose the make Chet the face of their beer they answered, “Chet represents a person who works with their hands and knows how to relax.  We can all relate to that when we sit down with a beer”.  Chet’s Brewing Company is currently seeing most of their revenue being generated around college towns in New Hampshire and Vermont and will soon begin a campaign to gain some micro brew market share in Boston.

This is a great definition of what motion design can do by showing how to do it.

This is a great idea to bridge the gap of print media and social media. An interactive campaign that gives discounts for sharing not only promotes the product line naturally but also grabs a wider audience.

Levi’s #Commuter teamed up with photo app VSCO Cam to create a custom branded filter.

[weekendvertising]

Here is a great example of a company taking their brand to another medium. “Even tones and mild desaturation create a rich, slightly aged effect” is often how Levi’s jeans and sold. This filter was created to give the same feel and presentation as Levi’s jeans.

To get to easy you have to go through hard.

This a great Mtn. Dew ad for their main consumer. It showcases a major past time in the demographic in a way they can relate to. Is this an attempt to be seen in the same light a Red Bull?

#SocialSwipe Great interactive donation billboard. Well executed.

The #SocialSwipe places a dual screen billboard at the centre of the equation, through the middle runs a credit card swipe reader, which instantly turns credit card donation swipes into synced video on the screens. It’s a cool way to get people to engage, to donate $2 to help people in need.

A growing trend we here at WeekendVertising are noticing is that a lot of our friends are moving away.  New jobs and opportunities keep taking our group and spreading us across the United States.  A sort of W.V. manifest destiny if you will.  Technology makes it simple for us to stay in touch but that doesn’t fill the gap of not seeing them in our day to day life.  Introducing the See Meez.  When your having a party and your game partner isn’t there, just toss on the See Meez with a picture of them and BAM your buddy is back.  When your in a far off land and your friend couldn’t make it, take off Oakleys and put on the See Meez and BOOM your friend is in Thailand with you.  It will be like you never missed a beat and the person was always there.  The See Meez will be marketed to all age groups, but directed towards consumers who are being pulled apart.  College students, parents who send their kids to sleep away summer camps, significant others who’s spouses travel for business, children who parents travel for work, the list goes on and on.  The first TV spot will feature three individuals who are from different parts of the world who can’t seem to get fully comfortable with their new surroundings.  Once they put on a pair of See Meez with a picture of the one they miss the lonely user starts to let go of their sullen mood and start enjoying themselves, with their buddy.  Though these may not fly off the shelves they will hopefully be good for one thing….perhaps they can help introduce a future employee to a new job?  That’s just a thought but we could see it working.

The flight of the bumblebee Rimsky-Korsakov Raid. Kill them dead.

Advertising Agency: Draft FCB, Lisbon, Portugal Via

Great print ad showing how Raid takes care of all insects.  Even a pesky musical bee.

In the eternal struggle of dragons, Lego worlds and social media, one social media client aims to be king of them all.  HootSuite has released a Game of Thrones ad claiming they are the a top the Iron Throne of social media.  In a Game of Thrones opening parody the viewer is taken over the map of Silicon Valley as all the social media sites are built just like the kingdoms of Winterfell, Westeros and Kings Landing.
