Levi’s new commercials are beautiful little videos promoting their brand and new creative contest. I found myself engaged as I came across this commercial in between some political rant and a makeup advertisement. Very creative Levi’s.
When I watched this film, I did not know it was advertising anything. This 4 minute clip is heart-warming and proves that you don’t need two hours to create something impactful. I’m not sure this will ever run in it’s entirety as a “commercial” on US TV, but I hope it will get around the internet circuit. Good stuff Pantene.

Marketing for a soft drink can go many different ways. I saw this commercial for Sierra Mist Ruby Splash last night and I immediately searched for the creator. It’s true… when I watch TV, all I see is the animated elements, the fonts and that great shot with a jib arm. The campaign was run by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. That’s all I have for now, but when I get more details, I’ll pass them along. See the commercial:
This got me thinking, is this funny to the general public? Is humor the way to go? What do you think?
Frito Lay has developed an interesting new campaign featuring 6 animated commercials with whimsical characters that are “Made for Each Other” - just like chips and dip. The first time I saw the “Little Bright Eyes” commercial, I instantly needed to know who created it. The commercials have no direct chip or snack reference, and this subtle advertising is making the them memorable and fun. All 6 commercials are designed by different companies, making each one unique. Love it.

A collaboration of great minds, B-Reel & Goodby Silverstein & Partners have developed a new way to advertise snack food. Devoid of all chip grease and party dip reference, madeforeathother.com is an interesting and interactive site that keeps you guessing. The designers created real miniature sets which were composited with 3D, 2D and hand-drawn elements that create a beautiful website. Even though the site isn’t always clear, it’s interesting enough to make you search and discover all for the games and videos embedded throughout. They won the FWA Site of the Day award on February 23rd. You can also watch the commercials and download the music that they play in the background. I love the idea of supporting the musician and I actually downloaded the Anya Marina CD (heard on the “Firesprite” commercial.) It’s one of my top fav’s right now.
So, Does this advertising make me want to buy chips and dip? Maybe not, but it makes me smile and its memorable! which means they may have succeeded…
