Creative confessional: Seek forgiveness for your creative sins

You're in advertising business? Then you surely have something to confess. Go to The Creative Confessional and anonymously confess your sins. Other siners can "absolve" or "condemn" your confession. Very amusing.

Audi: Prom (Worth It)

Bravery. It's what defines us. The new Audi S3 makes a young man without a date for the prom night brave enough to take on his dream girl. There are consequences but who cares. There is always better to do something and, maybe, regret it later that don't do it and surely regret it. Audi's super bowl spot has the #braverywins hashtag if you want to track it.

Internet Explorer: Child of the 90s

"You might not remember us, but we met in the 90s." If you grew up in the 90s then this spot is a trip to memory lane. Trolls. Tamagotchi's. 56K modems. Pumped up shoes. Bad haircuts. Microsoft is aiming at Generation Y who used Internet Explorer. "You grew up. So did we". A great invitation to try the new Internet Explorer 10. Whether they'll like or not is another story...

And speaking about children and the Internet, Top VPN Canada published a comprehensive article on Internet Safety Tips for Kids (25 Tips That Every Parent Must Know).

Booking.yeah

There is a moment of truth when you book your accomodation online. It's the moment you see what you have booked. Your choice can make or ruin your vacation. That's the moment you say f*uck yeah or in the case of this first ever US campaign for Booking.com, you say, Booking.yeah. It doesn't get any booking better than this.

Guinness: Clock

First we had a cloud with its own agenda. In this new spot in the "Made of More" campaign, we have a town's clock that decided to control time by itself and enhance the townspeople's lives. Set in Bohemia in the 1890s, we see the clock accelerating, reversing and pausing time with different results. Lovely work by AMV BBDO and great post production by The Mill.
