When Carlsberg beer created "Beer Beauty," a line of male grooming products earlier this year, the shampoo, conditioner and body lotion sold out in less than a week. To support the Movember Foundation and to raise awareness of men's health issues, Carlsberg launched a series of shaving products, each made with freeze-dried beer. "Beer'd Beauty" can be purchased online and consists of a shaving gel, aftershave cream and moustache cream, with proceeds benefiting the men's charity. Watch a video of the products being made and tested on bearded subjects here. CP+B Scandinavia …

Winter is coming, and Nike athletes welcome the season with open arms and fancy apparel in "Snow Day," a two-minute video that kicks off the #GetOutHere campaign. While many of us, myself included, head indoors and exercise when the temperature drops, Nike athletes embrace the change in weather. Football players Rob Gronkowski and Ndamukong Suh lead two all-star teams of athletes in a competitive game of tackle football, following an overnight blizzard that shuts down a city. Other athletes featured include Odell Beckham Jr., Le'Veon Bell, Eugenie Bouchard, Antonio Brown, Elena Delle Donne, Marlen …

Am I alone in thinking that brands not typically associated with consumer bonding are making sappy, tug-at-your-heartstrings ads lately? The latest comes from Autotrader, which tells a man's journey through life via his car purchases. There's a stick shift he can't drive, an unseen car that was stolen, and a gas-guzzling truck. He picks up his future wife for their first date in the truck, which eventually morphs into a hybrid after they're engaged. The spot ends with the man searching Autotrader for a minivan for his expanding family. See "Journey" here, created …

Malcolm McDowell is an unlikely spokesperson for Lunchables Uploaded, as evident in a pair of ads created by mcgarrybowen. In "Sophisticated Snacking with Malcolm McDowell," there's a clear generational gap between McDowell and his young co-host when it comes to instructing viewers how to eat a walking taco. McDowell tries to make a lowbrow snack more highbrow, while his young counterpart tells viewers to nuke the taco and eat it from the bag. See it here. The next ad continues the shenanigans, with McDowell poorly attempting teenage lingo during the commercial's shoot. Even …

Holiday ads: too soon? Delta Faucet celebrates mess makers. Let's launch!

The latest TV spot for Delta Faucet pays tribute to those who make a mess, which is all of us. Whether it's washing hands dirty from baking, cleaning fish for dinner, washing dinner plates or wine glasses, the kitchen sink helps us return the best place in the house back to its pristine self. Rather than equating messes with something negative, "To The Mess Makers" puts a positive spin on messes, especially when they're made when spending time with family and friends. Vance Joy's "Mess is Mine" plays throughout the spot, which promotes Delta's …

I'm all about heartwarming holiday ads, when it's the holiday season. It's not too early for Toys "R" Us, however, to begin its holiday season push, with a heartwarming ad that illustrates the true meaning of Christmas. It's not what you get, but what you give. In "Tree," a neighborhood is flooded with Christmas lights and decoration, except for the home of an older man who lives alone. Two pals decide to change that and launch a cover mission to make over the man's yard with a fully decorated and lit Christmas tree. Touched …
