BRAND STORYTELLING: AN OLD CRAFT WITH NEW DANGERS

That is the subject of my new Applied Arts column, which you can read here.

Here’s a lovely spot for Getty Images by AlmapBBDO in Brazil.

Creatives typically weep and moan when forced to use stock photography, but a lot of it is surprisingly good these days. You just have to be willing to look.

“Hot Wheels Elite Collection. Make Daddy Jealous.”

This is not a campaign. It is the same ad three times.

That said, it’s a very good one-off, and I admire how the team made the logo and tag line organic to their concept. By “organic,” I mean that the logo and line are actually in the situation (on the window glass) as opposed to being added as a separate layout element.

NUTELLA LAWYERS SHUT DOWN WORLD NUTELLA DAY; ENTIRE INTERNET SHAKES HEAD IN DISBELIEF

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Sara Rosso.

Sara loves Nutella. In fact, she loves it so much that for the past seven years, she has organized a World Nutella Day, a day for celebrating the awesomeness that is Nutella with recipes, songs, videos and other forms of Internet-based worship.

image

Sara’s Facebook page has some 40,000 fans; her Twitter feed has 7,000 followers. For Ferrero, the manufacturer of Nutella, the appropriate reaction to all this free publicity was obvious: They had their lawyers send Sara a cease-and-desist letter.

Seriously, the facepalm this inspires would leave you with black eyes for a month. The Internet backlash is just beginning. But, looking on the bright side, Ferrero’s ad agencies can now start billing for what Sara was doing for free.

UPDATE: Nutella has seen the error of its ways! They’ve ceased legal action, and have issued a statement expressing gratitude for Sara Rosso’s loyalty. World Nutella Day will return!

Sometimes, when you have a product that is truly amazing – like, um, the Internet – your advertising can succeed without a strong idea.

Such is the case with this look back at the history of the Web from Google. The strongest idea here is in the music, which uses MS-DOS beeps as the foundation for the melody.

But with or without an advertising idea, the spot still took my breath away.

Credits below. (I assume the spot was done in-house by Google.)

Don’t-text-and-drive ads are rapidly turning into the condom ads of the new millennium. But though they’re well on their way to becoming a cliché, I still think this one is really good.

This is yet another lovely idea for Dove, and it’s highly interactive in spite of the fact that it’s a print ad.

Dove’s ability to hit it out of the park again and again owes everything to the strength of its core idea: Women deserve to feel better about themselves. Please note that strong core ideas have nothing to do with products, and everything to do with people.

In the normal course of events, we ad people don’t do much to counter our reputation for being selfish and self-important. This fantastic idea from Saatchi in Israel shows that our work can occasionally be of real benefit to humanity.

The generation that survived Hitler’s death camps is now dying of old age. In many cases, their stories are dying with them, and the disappearance of these eyewitness accounts provides great comfort to those who deny that the Holocaust ever happened.

Saatchi’s campaign found a way to make survivors’ individual stories very personal and relevant to today’s youth. The idea of making temporary tattoos out of survivors’ prisoner numbers creates a fascinating collision between today’s fashions and yesterday’s horrors.

This campaign deserves every prize going.
