Guinness reveal latest Ad - Bring the world to Life

Now Guinness are well known for their advertising, from those iconic posters to the latest TV adverts - they clearly know the value of a good campaign. This advert 'Bring the world to life' is the latest example of this, I don't think the pace has dropped at all!

The director of this ad, Johnny Green, has been quoted saying: “The locations were so remote and extreme that it took days to even get to the site. From high altitudes to underwater shoots, freezing temperatures of -30C combined with the burning glare of the sun off of the snow, every element brought its own unique challenge.”

Funny Talking Animals - Walk On The Wild Side - Episode One Preview - BBC One

I love these new adverts for the BBC's new nature programme, Walk on the Wild Side. The Sharks have got to be my favorite!! Genius.

Possibly the greatest advert ever made. It drills into your ears and eye sockets so deep that viewers can't resist it's catchy song.

Milky Way - The red car and the blue car had a race!

Amazing! Milky Way have brought back a classic! I remember the days when this used to be on. Great stuff!

If you look closely and compare the latest release of this advert you can spot some interesting changes. The marketing profs have obviously decided it's not a good plan to promote snacking between meals as in the 1989 version of the Milky Way advert. You can see that the cars are racing between Lunchville and Dinner Town, whereas the new version shows the cars burning rubber between Playville and Light Town.

Insanely brilliant advert

I know, I know... How did they do it? The acting, the visual effects, the lyrics!!?! need I go on. Somehow this advert manages to penetrate my cranium everytime it's shown, so much so that I can't even watch it right now without singing along "OH we love Tool Station...." "RIGHT across the nation". You gotta love it.

Yorkshire Tea 'where teatime is important' by Beattie McGuinness Bungay

This advert is too good! Truly amazing. He's definitely on to something here. "It's nice to be important but, I wish my wife could see, there's nothing more important than making time for tea." I couldn't agree more, as I sip from a cuppa myself, if only it were Yorkshire tea... If only.

Robinsons "Be Natural" Bird House advert 2009

This has got to be the best advert on TV at the moment! The new Robinsons be natural fruit squash advert shows a bird coming home to his bird house, the beauty is in the details, just as he comes in through the bird hole watch out for the other bird feet lined up by the door, as if they were shoes. The human clock is just amazing 'hello' and the worms in the fridge are pretty sweet!

Honda's new TV advert: Do, Keep Doing, Do Some More

Honda have teamed up with Wieden & Kennedy, London and the result? a nice little animated TV advert with the environment close to heart. Of course, They've stuck with tradition and used the now very familiar and oddly comforting voice of Garrison Keillor. He has become 'the' voice of Honda in recent years, and why stop now? Keillor tells the story of Honda's environmental crusaide, battling the non 'doers' of the world into submission and encouraging the public to follow suit. Let's all gather round now, hold hands, and soak up the positive vibes from Honda's new advert 'Do, Keep doing, do some more'. The new Honda advert premiered on Channel 4 on the 4th April, rather nicely placed in the advertising break of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. Showing that Honda are still holding onto their shiny advertising crown.

A little story all about doers. But what exactly is a doer? Well, doers do things. Things to move us forward, to make stuff better. We started off small just thinking of ideas, little “dos”. What if we plant trees around our factories, help the air stay a bit cleaner? Perhaps introduce water based paint, create a solve a car, the first hybrid cars. Well how about a car that only emits water? Little steps in the right direction. Then it made us think, “What if we were all doers learning as we go, doing things that can make a difference, like not revving our engines when we don’t need to. Driving a bit slower in traffic jams instead of stop starting. Or keeping our tires properly inflated to save fuel. And emptying out all the stuff we don’t need to carry around. Wouldn’t that be worthwhile? So let’s go do, keep doing, and do some more. Start a to-do list. Because there a million and one to-dos still to be done.

Another one in the bag for Honda!
