I'm beginning to think that Heineken might be a nightmare client.

We all remember the walk in closet, which was quite the runaway success for the beer brand, aired practically everywhere around the planet and nabbed itself some lions in Cannes. I guess Heineken liked it too. So they asked for "more like that".

For the first time in Greece, a prepaid card offers free airtime to speak & connect with people from other networks, so in our ad we've depicted a world without borders. "Best things happen when you are open to the world" our key main message.

What's that smell? Might want to have your glasses sorted Sears Optical says …Don’t Miss a Thing.

Britta and Claus are ordinary people, living their ordinary lives with the villa, the volvo and the TDC telecom provider, just like the rest of you folks in suburbia. Britta loves gardening because it's relaxing, and Claus because he makes her laugh. Claus loves pulling pranks and BBQ. In short they're just like you and me with their villa, volvo and TDC.... and they're nudists.

There's no way I can do the copy justice here in my translation, but that's the jist.

Pretty cocky, so well known we all know what they are using. Showing off the knifing of the contents is called "turning a negative into a positive".
