Method in the Magners

Barry — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 08:31:57 +0000

New ad campaign across the water for Magners. Both TV ad spots are witty and exceptionally well made in the same vein of all Bulmers/Magners advertising.

Straight

First up is Straight, telling the story of Aiden Boyle from Clonmel “even his name goes from A to B”. Not sure on a cider ad having someone drive through a ditch and brick wall, but It is kinda funny.

Catch

Next up is Catch, where the Clonmel cricket team have exceptional catching skills which coincidently enough have been honed by years of catching apples at just the right time.

Starburst donating colour to charity

Barry — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:35:37 +0000

Starbust down under are donating the colour from their packaging to the Camp Quality charity, which helps Australian families affected by cancer.

We love everything that Camp Quality stands for so we wanted to do more than just donate $100,000. That’s why we’ve also decided to give up our iconic yellow for a limited time to help raise awareness for the great work Camp Quality do in bringing colour to the lives of young people effected by cancer.

They’ve even got some of the Camp Quality teenagers to star in the TV ad below, Good on ya Open Fruits Starburst

Sandisk Micro Cleverness

Barry — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:01:46 +0000

Loving this creative by Canadian agency Noldin BBDO for SanDsk Micro 16GB USB Flash drives. Clever use of color as well as the concept behind what’s on the left being too big for what’s on the right.

Jameson Dublin International Film Festival 2010

Barry — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:12:48 +0000

One of my favourite ads at the moment for the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival which kicks off today.

Crawley Nea are behind it and it’s great to see quality Irish talent making great ads, shining through the mediocrity of Meteor and Irish Scrappage(Renault)

Quirky Ad: Exclusive VSO Deal!

Barry — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:38:33 +0000

Campaign for VSO.ie (Voluntary Service Overseas), It’s a spoof infomercial but is actually pretty funny. Kudos to whoever came up with it.

Milk makes you stronger

Love this bit of ambient advertising from McCann, which uses stickers on revolving doors with the simple copy line of “Milk makes you stronger. Meiji.”
