DDB London

These posters by DDB advertising their annual Nabs music quiz night to other agencies poke fun at them (and themselves). Nice copy and nice imagery - just very nice in general!

BBDO/Proximity

House of Cards

I recently came across this ad campaign by Leo Burnett for Shelter homeless charity called House of Cards. They commissioned 52 artists to design a card and then had a big exhibition in London, auctioning off the originals and selling packs of the cards. I think this is such a good idea for pro-bono work - it's fresh and different and not just a typical charity ad, but raises awareness and probably raised a lot of cash too. These are some of the cards below:
Vivienne Westwood


Rankin


Polly Morgan


Marc Quin



Julie verhoeven

Gillian Wearing


David Bailey


Damien Hirst



Boo Ritson



Alexandre McQueen


Antoni and Alison


And here's a link to the TV spot - not as good as the commissioned cards I don't think, but the whole campaign links nicely together!

Advertising that has caught my eye this month...

Well I still don't know how to upload videos from You Tube so they show up, i'm still sticking in links. I know its a pain but I hope you click on them, there's some good stuff to watch!

Rocky biscuits: BBAB (British biscuit advisory board). I love this, think it is quirky and funny, nice piss take with the BBAB. I don't think it would make me actually buy rocky's though, but I guess it will raise the profile amongst the young people targeted.

Secondly... Can't believe I am saying this, but this advert for the Sun newspaper is great. Witty, clever, nice copy and it is so true. I think they've got it spot on, an inspired piece of advertising that I reckon will make people chuckle and probably buy the paper again.

Some lovely things from the last few months...
