In honor of his 10th anniversary, Burger King has resurrected Subservient Chicken by explaining what happened to the bizzare poultry spokesperson during his downtime. The audience response is mixed, but they seem to be intrigued: The ad has been viewed 6.4 million times on YouTube since April 30.
Auction house Christie's may be celebrating its 250th birthday in 2016, but it's trying to seem more youthful in this promo for a contemporary art sale happening this Monday.
The sensitive hunk and the hunky cowboy are two cornerstones of American advertising. Combined, they form the ultimate housewife fantasy: a man who will rescue you from the dangers of the Wild West and then ask you about your day. (And care about the answer!) So, it makes sense that, in an effort to appeal to women, Sauza Tequila would employ such a perfect male specimen to star in its "Make It With a Cowboy" campaign. But after watching the spots, from La Comunidad, it's hard to avoid the feeling that something's a little … off. Sort of like tasting a hint of beer in your margarita.
A new, poor taste LiveLens ad featuring Thamsanqua Jantjie, the sign language interpreter who rose to infamy when he faked his way through Nelsen Mandela’s funeral, has outraged online viewers. Angered individuals felt that Jantjie's actions poke fun at the method of communication that many people in the deaf and hearing impaired community rely on.
As if Italian auto brand Fiat hasn't had enough challenges in its recent U.S. reboot, the car becomes a snack for none other than Godzilla in this goofy but likable tie-in with the upcoming movie. In this 45-second spot, created by The Richards Group, Big G chases down a four-door Fiat while generally wreaking havoc across a city, only to find the car's not quite the bite-sized morsel he had in mind.
How do you sell a car to people who live in a city with plenty of transportation options? Simple. Offer them personal space. From there, it's cake. This new ad for Honda's City vehicle by Leo Burnett's Melbourne office may be geared for Australians, but showing the sheer variety of ways that some jerk can invade your personal bubble works for any metropolis. It could be my Northeast upbringing (I'm uncomfortable if someone outside my immediate family tries to hug me), but I appreciate just how annoyed these people are.
Spence Kramer has joined Crispin Porter + Bogusky as global managing director, a newly created role. He will work on global business across the agency's eight offices (Los Angeles, Boulder, Miami, São Paulo, London, Gothenburg, Copenhagen and Stockholm) and be responsible for finding new growth opportunities. He will be based in Miami. "As we continue to broaden our overall scope, working with brands that are looking for multiple office capabilities, we have decided to create the role of global managing director," said president Steve Erich in a statement.
What do Bob Dylan, Ellen DeGeneres, Stephen Colbert, the Muppets, U2 and the cast of the '90s sitcom Full House have in common? They all starred in Super Bowl commercials this year, and none of them came anywhere close to the top of the list when it came to sharing of the ads online.
Water Is Life and DDB New York's latest spot is, like much of their other work, heartbreaking. The ad focuses on the struggles of a young girl born in the slums of India, and does not pull its punches. In the past few years, the clean water charity has skewered the smarmy #FirstWorldProblems hashtag, helped a 4-year-old Kenyan boy fulfill his bucket list, and most recently, created a water safety book with pages that double as water filters.
Ever met someone with a disability and felt unsure what to say or how to even shake hands? If so, you're not alone, and British advocacy group Scope is here to help end the awkwardness.
