North Face: Never Stop Exploring

Imagine going for shopping and while you are checking the clothes, the floor starts to shift and disappearing into the wall. This is the situation the customers of a North Face pop-up store in Korea had to deal with. The walls of the store were rock climbing walls and the customers had to hang on to the footholds or fall down. Then a North Face jacket appeared hanging from the center of the ceiling and customers had 30 seconds to decide if they would take a leap and grab the jacket before falling down.

A great stunt from Innored that delivers North Face's 'Never stop exploring' message.

A woman walking around in London with a hidden camera in her bra counts the number of people who look at her breast. And yes, there are a lot.

Bosch glides through your home one night... to vacuum

Bosch's employees break in your house, at night, while you sleep, to vacuum! Yes, you've read that right. BBDO Belgium challenge was to prove that the new Bosch Relaxx'x ProSilence vacuum is incredibly quiet so they send 2 guys to open two houses and vacuum them without waking the occupants. Then they went back in the morning to show to the house owners what they've done. Definitely a new approach to vacuum advertising.

Ikea: There's no bed like home

A dreamy spot from Ikea with A woman falling from the sky in various beds until she wakes up in her own. The wonderful voice over is actually a reading from Shakespeare's The Tempest Act 4, Scene 1, 140.

The "Beds" spot is the third instalment of The Wonderful Everyday campaign which looks at the spaces in the home where our days begin and end: the bedroom and the bathroom. Places that serve our basic everyday needs. They are the private comfort zones in the home where we wake up and get dressed for the day ahead, then undress, recharge and relax in the evening. They are the most essential rooms in the home yet they are often the most neglected.

The Tempest. Act 4, Scene 1, 140. Prospero to Ferdinand:

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air.
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself—
Yea, all which it inherit—shall dissolve,
And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Undress me: a film by Tatia Pilieva for Masters of Sex

If you don't live under a rock you most certainly have seen Tatia Pilieva's "First Kiss" for Wren. Now, the director asked strangers to undress each other and get in bed. Nothing else. The story goes in a similar way. People are feeling awkward a first but as they begin undressing things heat up.

Tatia Pilieva made this film in collaboration with Showtime for the promotion of the sevond season of Masters of Sex.
