Jim Beam is helping Australians unleash their animal nature—the bourbon brand has launched a Tarzan-inspired bizarre campaign dubbed ‘It’s Time,’ which is rolling out across a number of platforms including TV, cinema, print, online and ambient point of sale. Developed by Sydney-based agency The Works, the new $5m advertising effort is revolving around the idea that the time has come to get together with friends for a glass of fine bourbon. And here, old, primeval methods of summoning mates beat modern approaches like mobile phone calls, texting or writing an e-mail.
adidas Originals is going wild with the vibrant palette in the spring/summer 2012 adicolor campaign, conceived by Portland-based Kamp Grizzly and dubbed ‘Step Into Color.’ The new promotional effort includes digital elements and a commercial (15- and 30-second spots) featuring NBA guard Eric Gordon and radio personality Charlamagne Tha God. While it’s not as big as adidas’ ‘all in’ massive promotion, it also supports the brand’s general philosophy—be young, be active, be creative, be bright. The promotion, which is encouraging consumers to explore the wide range of the brand’s colourful sport outfits, will be rolling out in the USA through April 7 and will be not only the source of encouragement, but will also provide people with an opportunity to win a customized adicolor kit.
Diesel is kicking off a new campaign to promote the new version of its bold fragrance ‘Only the Brave,’ launched back in 2009. Since the new fragrance inherited the brand’s extravagant and rebellious nature, the new campaign was to encompass all these traits, so the brand commissioned Fred & Farid Paris, one of the most brave-hearted advertising agencies, which recent works includes ‘wild and mad’ promotions for Wrangler, to develop the campaign, promoting the new Only The Brave Tattoo. As to the original soundtrack, Diesel tapped Sizzer Amsterdam’s Michiel Marsman and Marcel A. Wiebenga to supervise music creation—the score with an electronic-eighties twist was composed by Captain Bee’s Knees.
Toyota has launched a bunch of lovely promotional initiatives dedicated to its Prius Family (remember the search for the plural form of Prius or the launch of a dedicated hub www.toyotapriusprojects.com), and there’s no reason to stop this successful movement. Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. has teamed up with Saatchi & Saatchi LA to develop the new fully-integrated campaign titled ‘The Game of Life with Prius c’ for the latest addition to the Prius Family. The new marketing effort, which is infused with youthful spirit, clearness and freshness, is targeted at urban dwellers of 20 or 30-something, who are considering the purchase of a functional and fuel-efficient urban vehicle (which might be the first car in their life) at an accessible price.
