Amnesty Internations - Rebels / Are you turning your back? - print

Amnesty International shows us a world where massive crowds of people are turning their back to and actively ignoring human rights issues. That's what you are doing when you wave away the street collectors and throw away the membership calls you get in the mail. You ignore the beatings, the public executions, and the pain.

Kit Kat really want you to have a break - makes posters that turn into chairs.

Kit Kat want you to take a load off, have a kit kat... And to help you do so they're currently running a poster campaign where the lazer-cut wood posters could be turned into chairs. Strategically placed around large summer events, the chairs soon became the talking point of the visitors.

I bet they till furnish a few students homes. Well done.

Fresh Up - Masseuse - (2010) :20

Colenso BBDO have found a universal truth. Thirst is creepy. They rang up The Sweet Shop’s Steve Ayson to help them convey the awkward that a parched throat, cracked lips, raspy breath and everything that sounds thirsty is. Steve adds his usual humor, sucking every but of moist out of the calming moment a massage should be to deliver the idea with deadpan humor. Well done. I need a drink now.

This two minute journey of words through the paper animation of the pages in a book is... quite hypnotic.

The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation - blob - (2009) :60 (New Zealand)

Colenso BBDO, Auckland and The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation have translated breast cancer into a sinister growing blob - because if you ignore the problem, it only grows.

First, they ran a TVC where a seemingly harmless blob grows to take over the family home. The, as an ambient installation they did the same thing "live" so to speak. A rather harmless pinkish blob was ignored by pedestrians for hours, but it only grew... eventually blocking the entire street.

Two years ago, Lotto asked New Zealanders the question "What would you do?" and the answers all had in common that people would do what they have always dreamed about. The difference is what did they dream, and this campaign from DDB follows a man who can finally execute his wishlist that he put together as a young boy.

Tearjerker of the day (as, yes, it made me properly misty), this spot from DDB New Zealand and Sweet Shop director Steve Ayson nails the thought every parent has when they'd give anything to trade places with their sick child.
