Very clever idea from Heineken in Italy which brings Activation, PR and digital together.

5 minute film, but think you will smile.

 

Parody of Lynx Effect

There’s an old (well 200 years old) saying that “Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery”.

Here’s a sweet spot that parodies the Lynx effect.

Enjoy.

 

A lovely pair of Oranges

Couple of juicy spots from Orange in the UK.

In a category where “offers” are the norm, at least these guys do them with a sense of humour.  Agency, Fallon.

 

Chatroulette Piano Improv

A really funny video clip of a piano improv on Chat Roulette. I expected participants on chat roulette to be slightly older though – an interesting insight.

Feel The Pain …. or Not

Sweet, little, inexpensive, but bet it got a lot of people talking!

Here’s the video of a New/Innovative Media approach taken by Motrin, an analgesic (painkiller) brand in Canada.

Made me feel better.

The Ancient Greeks Would Be Stumped By This One

Karolos Grohmanm of Yahoo Sports reports the following:

VANCOUVER, Feb 11 (Reuters) – Cricket was cleared to pursue its bid to be included in future Games after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) rubberstamped the sport’s recognition on Thursday.

Cricket, powerboating and sports climbing became the latest sports to be officially recognised by the IOC, a status necessary before launching a bid to become part of the Olympic programme.

“The session gave definite recognition to the three federations,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams told reporters.

The three sports can now bid to join the 2020 Olympics as the programme is always determined seven years in advance.

Golf and rugby were latest inclusions in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games when an IOC session voted them in last year.

The decision about new sports for the 2020 Games will be taken at the IOC session in Buenos Aires in 2013 where the host country will also be picked.

My, my, my what is the world coming to?  Apart from Cricket being probably the world’s most incomprehensible sport, lasts days and severely boring, who outside “The Commonwealth” plays it?

Let’s hope sense prevails in 2013.  That or a hard knock to the googlies.

Yes,  a highly personal view – but one from an Anglo-Australian at that!

Brilliant little “behind-the-scenes” look at Pringle of Scotland. I love it when a company has a sense of humour.

Ben Stiller uses social media to launch stillerstrong

Here is one nice way to raise money for a serious cause. We can learn a thing or two on the way he uses social media. Love the simplicity of it and the way the channels have been used.

And the site that aggregates it all

Love is a “wonderful” or is it “dangerous” thing?

Won’t tell you the  brand or category, don’t won’t to give the fun away.

May your life be filled with love …. it almost certainly already is.
