PolskieRadio: Touch the sound

Yes, the title is correct. Sound can be touched. Hypermedia Isobar did it for PolskieRadio.pl, a news portal with the largest radio recording database in Poland. In order to promote it at Science Picnic - the biggest science fair in Europe - Hypermedia used 3D printers to print out the most historical radio recordings of the 20th century. The recordings where chosen through interactive banners and Facebook apps.

Volkswagen Beetle: Senior Rebels

Beautiful commercial with old people doing graffiti, skateboarding, riding in supermarket carts, surfing and more, desperately seeking to relive their youth. They are loveable, the music helps built an atmosphere, until the twist in the end when a VW Beetle appears and 2 young people get in. The tag line is a call to action. Nice work from DDB

Drambuie: Extraordinary Bar

Drambuie's surreal new campaign by Sell! Sell! could easily be made out of snapshots of a David Lynch's nightmare. Abstract landscapes, men chanting Dram-boo-eee, bottles casting shadows that transform to doors, reversed gravity and so on and so forth.

Guinness: Cloud, Made Of More

A cloud with his own agenda. A cloud who chooses its own path, a cloud who darkens after his interaction with the big city. A cloud "made of more". A great metaphor, beautifully directed and with a top notch work on the CG cloud by The Mill.
