  • NEW! Time For Old Spice Wearers To Make A Smellmitment. #TeamMustafa

My vote goes to Mustafa because he's calm, collected and not screaming in my face. Your move, Crews. See the ad here, created by Wieden+Kennedy Portland.
  • Put Down The Tech Devices And Pop Some JOLLY TIME With Friends
    I have a love/hate relationship with brand campaigns telling the world to drop their mobile devices and focus on the friends and family in front of them. Campaigns like this shouldn't have to exist. The fact that we need to be reminded and encouraged to leave technology at the door is sad. But popcorn is happy. And JOLLY TIME Pop Corn wants families to "Unplug. Pop. Connect." The campaign launched on social media, encouraging popcorn lovers to relax, talk to one another and have some technology-free bonding time. The brand …
  • PFLAG Canada Launches Moving Video, 'Nobody's Memories'
    PFLAG Canada, an organization devoted to LGBT Canadians, launched "Nobody's Memories," a moving video about marriage equality. The 60-second video begins with what looks like old-school film footage of same-sex couples getting married. There's joy and happiness everywhere. But, as the voiceover states, the happy weddings never took place, so these memories belong to no one. "For all the memories that never happened -- let's make marriage legal for everyone, everywhere," closes the video, seen here. Viewers can find additional campaign information at LoveMadeLegal.com, where visitors can sign a petition to legalize …

    I can't imagine anything going wrong when the boss sees a picture of an employee or two napping at their desk, can you?

  • NEW! Volkswagen Fans Virtually Test-Drive Golf R With Custom Sound Effects
    A campaign to bring out the kid in all of us. "Unleash Your Rrrr" is a site that allows Volkswagen fans to drive a virtual Golf R using only the sound of their voice.

It then creates a custom video of the Golf R cruising through a race track, with …
