• Nissan Europe Moves Mountains For Neighborhood Game Of Soccer
    Suspend belief for a moment and enjoy the sweet meaning behind this ad for Nissan Europe that promotes the NP300 Navara truck. The ad begins with a group of kids playing soccer in a small area near an abandoned factory. A group of men and their trucks enter the factory and start working. It looks like fun to the kids, but the meaning is much more important. With some heavy tools and the technology found in the NP300 Navara, the abandoned building is transformed into a large, open-air soccer stadium for both the kids and adults …
  • Animatic App Lets Users Create Flip-Book Animations
    Random iPhone App of the week: Put your creative hat on with Animatic, an app that allows users to create hand-drawn GIFs and videos that can be put together to make moving animations reminiscent of flip books. With the mention of flip books, I feel like I'm dating myself and can't wait to keep drawing! The app is easy to use, even if you're not artistic (I'm not). Users create pictures using a frame-by-frame editor and, once pictures are complete, can export animations into GIF or video form. Created by Inkboard, the app is free in …

  • NEW! Newborns Sing 'La Vie En Rose' In Ad For French Supermarket
    This is by far the quirkiest ad I've seen for a supermarket chain in quite some time. U, a supermarket chain in France, created a business model that benefits client, farmers and consumers. The brand's ultimate goal is to make the world a better place for the next generation.

  • There Are Countless Reasons To Visit Philadelphia
    What are the first things you think of when you hear Philadelphia? Personally, I think of "Rocky" and cheesesteaks. In a 60-second spot for Visit Philadelphia, Ben Franklin goes head-to-head with a cheesesteak, Godzilla-style, in an effort to compete for tourists' attention. However, there's much more to see and do in Philadelphia than visit historical landmarks and eat cheesesteaks. As the pair fight in the city, a visitor asks: "What's with them?" The taxi driver responds: "Oh those two. They're always fighting for attention." The spot closes with the tagline: "There's more to a legendary city …
  • Qualcomm Campaign Highlights The Internet Of Things
    I'm still waiting for my flying car. Until then, have a look at this TV spot for Qualcomm that gives viewers a sneak peak inside dating, technology and the Internet of Things. Part of the brand's "Why Wait" global campaign, "The Date" follows a couple's night out on the town. Gratification is instant. The car is smart, the parking meter is no longer fed coins, a restaurant's menu is digital -- and each object in the woman's apartment, aside from the dog, is connected and probably knows more about the woman than her date. See …
