Verizon Droid: 48 hours

Edward Norton wakes up in a morgue, picks up his Motorola Droid Maxx, then the flashback of his last 48 hours begins. In this fun to watch 90 seconds film we see Edward Norton finding a wallet, singing karaoke, still someone's girlfriend, crashing a plane, being tied upside down, winning a ferret from a mob boss in a Connent Four game, all with the help of his Droid phone with the impressive 48 hours battery life.

Monster.com India: Wake Up Campaign‏

A wake up call for all the passive job seekers out there. In the new digital campaign for Monster.com, an online job portal in India, we see a fish talking to a guy asking him “If I asked you a few years back where you’d see yourself today, what would you have said?".  Since you don’t get wake up calls like these in real life, you should go out there and "find better" thus delivering the brands tagline. Dentsu Marcom also made 5 teaser films featuring a little cow boy, a sheep, an opera singer, a vampire and Tarzan trying to #WakeUp the sleeping employee.

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?
