Think: Be clever but be prepared to help

Another great piece of video content from Transport for London. This clever clip follows previous greats such as ‘take the test’ and ‘whodunnit’. However, when it comes to making clever videos to make your point you have to make sure that your audience actually understands the message. The feedback goldmine (mostly rock but the occasional [...]

Is that Really Originals?

This is the new Adidas Origianals Ad to be shown on the website and on TV. It’s the first time that Adidas has promoted the Originals brand through TV. Firstly I must say that I do like the Originals brand, and I do actually like the ad, am sure David Beckham is always going to [...]

New Virals: Steven Gerrard Hits a Pigeon and Ronaldo Loses His Top

Not a bad attempt from Adidas here, going for the ‘is it true is it fake’ theme to get people talking. Something Nike have played with in the past with Kobe Bryant jumping over a car, and Ronaldinho hitting a cross bar with serious precision. Obviously these are all fake (sorry to ruin the magic), [...]
