Lynx-AXE has launched its new campaign, “Wingman Academy,” dedicated to those who know what real male friendship and support are. The spots, hosted on Facebook brand page, feature actor and comedian Russell Kane, who stars as a head of training center for aviation cadets and ‘teaches’ them how to keep their body dry even when the hottest ladies are around. Under his guidance, the Lynx product helps the military group achieve stunning results and maintain unruffled composure (almost) even when several gorgeous ladies in gold panties are a cm close to them. That’s what real military bearing means.

Less than a week ago the Old Spice Guy ‘resigned’ from the award winning “questions and answers” Weiden+Kennedy campaign, which helped the brand’s body wash product to achieve 107% sales increase in the past month. This success was a real temptation for other brands, even those not related to the toiletry market. Willing to get a piece of this fame,  Cisco released its own series of web-episodes, where a nerdy man standing in the same bathroom as Isaiah Mustafa, was answering questions from Twitter users.

Seat UK is there to find an answer to one the most arguable male/female issue of the recent decades: “Who is the best driver—a man or a woman?” To put an end to long-time debates, the Spanish automaker teamed up with the popular Fifth Gear program and interactive agency AnalogFolk to develop a challenge titled Seat Sex Drive, which will help determine which of the sexes has more rights to get behind the wheel.

Heinz is calling out for creative minds, which love poetry and prefer to have the taste of their meals amplified with perfect ketchup. Through its Facebook page, the brand is encouraging poetic individuals to come and join its new “Ode to Awesome” contest, which will be running online from July 12 to August 1, for a chance to get $30 gift cards, given out on a daily basis, along with two grand prizes of $500 cards and a year’s supply of Heinz ketchup.

Nike is here again to remind the whole world of its “Lace Up Save Lives” charitable campaign launched in collaboration with the (RED) foundation last year. The social project is focused on bringing positive changes to the deprived communities of Africa by providing vital medication to local people with HIV and educating Africa’s younger generation to stop the spread of AIDS. In the new video of the Nike’s (RED) campaign, the brand showcases an around-the-world relay race, which was arranged to add fuel to the movement.

Levi’s has sponsored this week’s YouTube hit, a simple yet great video called «Guy Walks Across America» to promote its new line of jeans and make a contribution to its portfolio of great commercials. The title of the ad (which doesn’t look like a promotion at all) tells all about the plot—Mike, a young man wearing brand-new jeans from a recently launched collection of Levi’s, goes on a walk trip along the roads of the USA, starting in New York and finishing in San Francisco.

All the roads lead to Rome—or to YouTube, when we talk about the area of commercials. Most of the spots, created to promote big and small brands, eventually appear on YouTube and are steamed either through corporate or individual channels. To make it easier for ad developers or industry fans to browse the related content on the world’s most popular video hub, YouTube launched the official “Show & Tell” channel, which comes as the “home of the best creative marketing examples.”
