Lisbon is full of street art, such as the work of Alexandre Farto who was commissioned to do the Levi’s Murals for "Go Forth" in Berlin, and lots of other famous names. Lisbon's citizens don't look at the street art as a part of their historical heritage, Lisbon's City Hall tapped Torke to help them change the perception.

Mcdonald's and DDB got together with PKP (Polish State Railways) to create this digital updated timetable that showed train departures and measured time until departure in food items from McDonald's one would have time to devour. Instead of hanging out on a boring old platform, travelers took to the McDonald's for a bite to eat.

Lufthansa - Anywake app - (2012) (Sweden)

DDB Stockholm had a brilliant idea for an app that is your regular alarm-clock on the phone, but also a game where you can win discounts on Lufthansa flights to anywhere-but-here that might get you out of boring old Sweden. Then they had another great idea, to animate the case study nicely. Kyoot!

Protective father's evolving relationship with his daughter goes from sheilding her from rain, to boys and eventually when she is due to fly the nest his protective act is to get her into the safest car he knows.

There's rumbling on the interwebs that the song in this spot is too close of a soundalike to the Beach House song "Take Care".

Update Beach House released a statement on their facebook page that they were approached to licence the song but declined the offer.

Canadian Beef Bacon Company - Kosher Bacon - (2012) :30 (Canada)

Red Lion, and FamilyStyle directors Jon & Torey, went to Israel to find out what people might be willing to give up for a chance at some bacon. Their cigarettes, the red sea, their goat ... and their wife. Hell, they'll even give up candy. For what? Kosher Bacon. Kosher what?

"Of course the idea is very tongue-in-cheek," says Brett Channer, Chief Creative Officer, Red Lion. "We felt comfortable asking it because we are promoting a product that is respectful to the Jewish Culture."

Ah okay. So you've made kosher bacon. Sorta, It's beef, not pig. What mishegoss.

She answers the phone "Unlimitech Solutions" and we pan out to find that the office is even worse than the name. It's so bad in fact that the boss asks her to tiden the place up a bit before their visitors arrive, starting with cleaning up her computer desktop. "Screensaver?".. and you know where this suddenly goes, lets try screensaving everything.

Or, you know, you could go to Staples and get a set of matching binders.

The EVOC Indestructible Billboard - Hit the backpack - (2012) - Germany

Posted by Dabitch on 14. May 2012 - 11:31

This case study for the EVoc indestructable billboard does the daring thing of grabbing a guitar-riffing bit of music. To show off Evoc's protective backpacks and the shock absorbing effect a classic "strength of hit" measuring device usually found at amusement parks was worked into a backpack billboard. Then everyone took a punch to the backpack to see how strong their hit was.

97 hits per hour

There must have been a line around the block for the chance to hit that billboard. Is that an average by the way? Perhaps people don't sleep at all in Berlin.

Popular model and TV-show host (oh, "secretary" is it?) poses naked for Playboy Argentina, while they are wondering how to get more people to follow the playboy twitter account.
Enter tweetgrid, for every 15 retweets of the Playboy tweets mentioning the show, a small part of a larger nude image of her is revealed in the twitter tweetgrid. Now everyone keeps retweeting Playboy until they finally get the whole picture. Clever way to get around the whole "no nudity on twitter" bit too, says I who risks being banned from Google Adsense (again) just for showing you this case study because it has nipples.

Radio Klassisk - Peer Gynt in the Metro Flash Mob - (2012)
