Ikea: Experience The Power Of A Bookbook

This time of year we usually see videos of high-end tech devices. IKEA decided to do exactly that but for a book. The 2015 IKEA Catalogue that mocks Apple videos, has it all. "The first thing to note is no cables, not even a power cable". This catalogue has an "original touch interface', "eternal battery life', it comes with  pre-installed content, 328 hi-definition pages and less than 400 grams, instant page loads with no lag. The 2015 IKEA Catalogue it's a "bookbook".

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.

Hyundai Genesis: The Empty Car Convoy

Very impressive stunt filmed at Hyundai's Mojave Desert test track, to showcase the new technologies of the new Genesis 2015.

We see a big truck and 6 cars behind it moving in one lane. 5 of the drivers climb out of the sunroof and make a jump to a moving truck. Stuntman Buddy Joe Hooker stays in the lead car behind the truck. He puts on a blindfold, folds his arms to his chest and he lets ASCC(Advanced Smart Cruise Control), AEB(Automatic Emergency Braking System), and LKAS(Lane Keep Assist System) work their magic when the truck hits the brakes.

This kind of stunts are Volvo's game but Huyndai's Empty Car Convoy will surely be a viral hit.

Dtac: The power of love

In this heartwarming spot, we see a father who doesn't know how to make his newborn stop crying. So, he does what you imagine. He calls his wife. She starts singing to the baby then they play some penguins cartoon but non of it is working. Technology fails. But love succeeds.

Technology can never replace love. And this is coming from a tech company. Good work from Y&R Thaland.
