The Orb lent their music skills to Stink for this subtly creepy Amnesty International spot. Darkfibre directed it.

Hehehe, I really like this one. *flicks head*
Remember Canal+ - March of the Emperor - (2006) :55 (France)? * Director Xavier Giannoli and BETC Euro RSCG, Paris update the campaign with two fresh new spots.

* one of the first ads we got where the agency insisted that we make the film non-downloadable, btw.

Honda - “Grooves” / Musical Road - (2008) :30 (USA)

Bicoastal Park Pictures directors Lance Acord (DP: Marie Antoinette, Lost in Translation) and Benzo Theodore collaborate with RPA Santa Monica, CA to create a first-ever branded experience in the U.S. Launched September 5, 2008, “The Civic Musical Road” on Avenue K in Lancaster, CA, encompasses the physical installation of a musical rumble strip that plays the William Tell Overture (aka “The Lone Ranger” theme song) when driven over by motorists at 55mph. The short-lived event — the road was recently paved over — captured the imagination of the national media and the public and was documented and filmed, for an ad campaign directed by Park Pictures’ Lance Acord, along with branded web content directed by Park Pictures’ Benzo Theodore. The resultant flurry of user-generated content pieces have already garnered 100s of thousands of YouTube hits, bolstering the Honda Civic’s brand position as a Gen Y pop culture icon.

For Nike Women from Wieden+Kennedy, Amsterdam. This one directed by Nieto shows how each body-part speaks against the hurdles - it's very nice and surreal.

Isn't he cute? Oh so cute, yes I love him. Oh, they're talking about the Capybara. I wasn't.

Oh man, these titles have it all and I thought Digital Kitchen were already awesome last year with Dexter's titles. Here we have rattle snakes in slow-mo, women in black lingerie, baby Klan members, roadkill, pool-table makeout sessions, gospel church dancing and lovely drive-by shots of southern town houses that have seen better days. It's a long sex vs religion, good vs bad, night vs day trip in a car set to a great tune. Fab! The Tru Blood ad campaign with the french ad and the US beer ad spoof are miles away from here.

Pfizer - Graffiti - (2008) :90 (Canada) - web only ad

Despite your typical disapproving look from the mother in this ad, when the son returns home at the crack of dawn, this ad does not have the typical ending you might expect. Pretty powerful stuff from Zig, Toronto, for Pfizer reminding us all that it takes more than just medication to get better - http://morethanmedication.ca/

Carlton Mid - The Woman Whisperer - (2008) :30 (Australia)

Dum dum dum - here comes the woman whisperer. There there girl, calm now. Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne explains their tactic: The idea is that Carlton MID could give them this "mate time"; yes that magical and often elusive time for one more beer. It's familiar stoush in the battle of the sexes. The end result is a campaign about men with extraordinary powers. Powers that won't save the planet, or even a life but maybe, just maybe they can help a mate stay for one more beer. "In a sense, these ads offer wish fulfilment. Every bloke would love to have a miraculous solution to these age-old problems." said Director Tim Bullock.
