Jesus and His Marketing Stunts in a great self promo

Advertising stunts have gone from obscure operations to mainstream media. Clicks and shares are now conventional media measures. Stunts are harder to write, shoot, manage, produce and edit than traditional 30 second television spots.

To showcase its unique production and post-production offerings, 1one created a promotional video in partnership with integrated advertising agency lg2 that gives viewers a seat at an iconic brand planning session led by the most famous advertising client of all time, Jesus. The table talk fictitiously reveals how 1One helped the Messiah top his previous branded efforts — no small task when you’re trying to outdo giving sight to the blind or turning water into wine.

“With the evolution of media, and the viewer becoming more intelligent (and cynical) towards traditional advertising, we need to create stunts that can't look like anything short of amazing,” says Jean-René Parenteau, executive producer and associate, 1one. “When it comes to doing that, you want an expert, not someone who's just hoping they can pull it off. This has been our focus for the past five years. Stunts aren't a new trend for us. It's what we've always done and focused our expertise towards.”

Mophie: All-powerless Super Bowl 2015

Smartphones. Full of features but they all suffer from their batteries. For some people, a dying battery seems like the end of the world.

Mophie, a mobile charging case brand, teamed up with agency Deutsch L.A. to make this epic Super Bowl 2015 ad. The world is ending, gravity doesn't work, animals fly, it's raining fish, dogs walk their owners, hurricanes, trees burning, tsunamis hit Paris and so on and so forth. Someone's battery is dying and he loses power.

A "Stalker" viewed your LinkedIn profile. BBDO for Vier

What a great and creepy way to launch a new thriller series. BBDO Belgium used the "who’s viewed your profile" LinkedIn's feature to anounce the launch of "Stalker" on Vier.

They took advantage of that feature by creating a fictional LinkedIn profile named ‘Stalker’ and filled it out with broadcast info, an exclusive trailer and some personal yet very disturbing details.

Then ‘Stalker’ started visiting profiles. Each of the 12.0000 users received from LinkedIn a notification that "Stalker, self-employed at a place near you" viewed their profiles. Then curiosity did its part and 63% viewed Stalker’s profile.

People liked the idea and spread the word on Twitter. Even without having a Twitter account of his own, ‘Stalker’ got around 27,600 Twitter impressions.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese in The Audition

An (allegedly) $70 million commercial finds Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro fighting for the same role, in a Martin Scorsese Film. "May the best man win," De Niro tells his rival. "No, I don't even want to say it like that. Let the best person for the part be the person who's in the part." We also see Brad Pitt appearing in a still image in the second spot.

"The Audition", written by Terence Winter (The Wolf of Wall Street) and produced by Brett Ratner. is a short film that promotes 2 new Casinos, Studio City in Macau, China and City of Dreams in Manila, Philippines.

The Ad Doritos Don't Want You to See

It starts like a perfect Doritos cheesy love story. But things change when the cheesy couple learn that PepsiCo, Doritos' parent company, buys 427,500 tonnes of palm oil every year and that the production of palm oil destroys rainforest and threatens species to the point of extinction. This deforestation results in the death of over 1,000 Sumatran orangutans every year. The ad was made from Sum of Us, who is a world-wide movement focused on creating a better global economy.
