Tullamore Dew: The Parting Glass

The best whiskey film of the year comes from Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey. Authentic and with a clever ending. We see four mates walking on an Irish grassy hillside on a rainy day to reach a stone church. They have glasses and a Tullamore Dew with them. They drink the whiskey in the cemetary outside the church while they sing an Irish folk song named "A Parting Glass" to honor one of their friends. The song was recorded inside the church. I'm not going to tell you the end. Just watch it!

Beldent: Almost identical

You look better when chewing gum. At least this experiment from Del Campo Nazca for Beldent Gum (the Argentine version of Trident) is trying to prove. They took identical twins, gave one of them to chew gum and asked visitors of the Buenos Aires' Museum of Contemporary Art to answer questions like which one of the twins had more friends, had great sex, is more like to give an employe a raise, etc. From the 481 participants, 73% voted for the twins that chewed gum.

I love the work of Del Campo Saatchi & Saatchi. See more of their work here.

Kmart: Show your joe

A controvesrial spot from Kmart showing men with boxers and tuxedos from the waist up playing jingle bells tune with their balls. I think it's funny but it has started a debate on their facebook page. Do you find it funny or offencive?

Lidl: Dill

Lidl took Stockholm by surprise with this wonderfull stunt. They created a pop-up restaurant with a Michelin-chef for 3 weeks and people fully booked it from day one. They enjoyed the excellent food but they didn't know that all the ingedients came from Lidl.

Volvo Trucks: The Epic Split feat. Van Damme

Epic Volvo stunt with Jean-Claude Van Damme performing his famous split between two reversing Volvo trucks. What a great way to highlight the precision and directional stability of the new Volvo Dynamic Steering -- a world first technology that makes the new Volvo FM easier to drive.

NASA: TECNOPOLIS 2013

5Seis turned learning about nuclear power plants into an amazing and fun experience. They developed 3 games for NASA station in Technopolis 2013 Buenos Aires, Argentina on different platforms. In the Game for Tablets you build the diagram of the nuclear and operate the control panel. In the Augmented Reality game you are in Atucha II nuclear power plant and you can choose the locations & look around. In Laser´s Game you take charge of making nuclear fission, aiming atoms with lasers rays and trying to generate as much energy as possible. Games are a perfect way to get more people involved and learn about science. Nice work by 5Seis.
