Oreo is now made in Sheffield

Continuing with Oreo's quest to be the most social brand who borrows the most interest, this print ad announces Oreo is opening its first U.K. factory in Sheffield. The ad takes the usual non-committal we-love-everyone stance by proudly supporting both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United, and basically anything Sheffield. Borrowed interest aside, it's nice to see Sheffield got some new job opportunities.

Sorry, flash is not available.

When I hear the hilarious jingle-singing begin, I'm getting more than a fleeting feel of the real American Heroes Bud Light vibe. Ces't la vie.

Lucky Charms "Remix" (2013) 2:30 (U.S.A.)

There's something about an auto-tuned Lucky singing about the kids and his cereal that really keeps it real, yo. This excellence was made for St Patty's Day, and inspired the client to take it to TV in a fifteen second cut-down that feels like a fifteen second cut-down. I mean really, with such smoove beats you coulda spent the dosh for a 60.
I'm sure the kids would love this...

They're always after his Lucky Charms. This :15 second version was created by popular demand after the original viral got close to a million hits. Trippy, mn.

Oreo "Wonderfilled Anthem" (2013) 1:30 (U.S.A.)

Oreo and The Martin Agency channels its inner Coke for a happiness-inspired animated spot. But instead of buying the world a sugar-laden beverage though, it's giving fairy tale enemies and vampires and sharks a sugar-laden cookie, all set to some saccharine music by Adam Young, aka Owl City.

"Wonder if I gave an Oreo to you." Well, I can answer what would happen if you're curious. I'm 100% certain I would need a toothbrush. Followed by a strict monitoring of my insulin levels. And then I'd mention the fact Coke already tackled the "what if we bought the opposite of ourselves a Coke" idea seven years ago.

McD hired Stefan Szwed-Stronzynski to change the chalk billboard twice daily. The idea is that cafés and restaurants change their chalk billboard as their menu changes, and since McD's serves fresh food too, so can they. Fresh croissants, yes we haz that. Warsaw office of DDB and art studio Good Looking and Krewcy Krawcy Productions set this up.

Thomas' English Muffins - What's in a Muffin? - (2013) :30 (USA)

Aw, it's as if Theodor Seuss Geisel sold out and phoned in a muffin-ad script.

Finlandia Cheese gets all renaissance on us

Yup it's more silly shtick from BFG 9000. This time for Finlandia cheese.

Find more info and check out all three spots here.

Sound design was integral to the flow of Lumberman, in which repetitious noise defines a lost girl’s growing angst until a stud tramps out of the woods, lighting her camp fire with a flick of a match across his stomach.

Check out all three spots here.

In this spot, Wild(child) created a percussive rhythm around the ball as a frumpy nerd slugs it back and forth with an unknown target, who is finally revealed to be a muscle-bound opponent deflecting the ball with nothing but his abs.

About Wild(child):

Pop Secret "Popcorñata" (2013) :50 (U.S.A.)

Just in time for Cinco De mayo, Pop Secret popcorn bring us the Popcorñata.
They ended up having to sew the bags together to make it work. Neat trick.
Too bad there's not like a salsa flavored pop corn to strengthen the concept. mmm, salsa flavored pop corn. Don't know what that is but I like it. Pop Secret Labs-- get working on it!

Captain D's "Webcam" (2013) :30 (U.S.A.)

They lose big points for the old "dumb guy" cliché. As well as the old "food is so tempting I see nothing else." Seriously. that's so old it's got hieroglyphics all over it.

However "I want to dip you in tartar sauce and eat you with a side of hush puppies," is a nice bit of perversion. So there's that.

Taco Bell "Silver Dollar" (2013) :30 (U.S.A.)

No silver dollar is safe from Taco Bell's dollar cravings menu. Not even an heirloom.

Powerful Yogurt - Powerful Cattleman - (2013) :30 (USA)

Just how powerful is Powerful Yogurt? If a trio of edgy spots edited and post-produced by Wild(child) is any indication, strong enough to start a car, light a fire, or win a ping-pong match. Editor Diego Panich teamed up with the The Vidal Partnership on the campaign, continuing a years-long creative partnership that has yielded memorable work for various high-profile brands.

Cadbury's global Joyville Chocolate tree surprises people in sleepy park

Forget men in Gorilla suits playing the drums. Publicis Dublin arranged a bright purple tree in a sleepy park, so that joggers, moms and nature lovers could stumble across the magical chocolate-giving tree and its Alpaca Unicorn guardians. Alpaca Unicorns are way way cuter than gorillas, and they don't spit like Llamas.

Feels like I never run into advertising stunts like this around town. What does a girl have to do to get caught on a hidden camera?

Desperados "Bump" (2013) 2:30 (France)

Desperados Beer wants us to act like a combination of an adidas Originals campaign and Warriors, but without the violence.

Del Taco "Unfreshing Believable" (2013) :30 (U.S.A.)

Del Taco takes it to a very weird level with its new spot. It looks like they're making beans in some steampunk themed disco or something. Remember kids, don't do drugs.

Oh yeah before I forget: between Ship My Pants and Unfreshing Believable, there is now a moratorium on near-swearwords in advertising.

BKWLD worked with Hoffman Lewis to create six unique and unexpected moments for the general public of St. Louis. Working entirely with non-actors, the BKWLD team designed real situations where McDonald’s breakfast could help make the ‘ordinary a bit more extraordinary’. These moments were shot with hidden camera crews and then transformed into the TV spots, with BKWLD storyboarding, directing, producing, and handling post for each.

Foster Farms "Heist" (2013) :30 (U.S.A.)

Foster Impostor chickens will go to great lengths to steal an American Humane Certification. How far, you ask? As far as a over blown heist scenario will take them. "I think I landed on my dark meat." Heh.
