Superette Branding Ad Campaign Really Leaves an Impression On You

Now this is taking branding a little too literal, as New Zealand fashion chain store Superette have created an ingenious yet controversial ploy to promote their 'Short shorts at Superette' marketing campaign.  Ad agency DDB Auckland  gorilla style campaign placed indented plates on bus stops, mall seats and park benches, subsequently leaving imprints on people's thighs.  The marketing ploy is both clever and questionable, as I'm sure not everyone wants to be branded like cattle to become a walking billboard ad.

Volvo's TV Advert "Blindfolded Test Drive"

This Volvo commercial created for the New Zealand auto market is an exhilarating feat in human co-operation, as we watch professional stunt drivers take the Volvo for a blindfolded test drive. This TV spot works well because it has the stylized glossy feel that most auto maker ads feature but it mixes it with the reality and drama of the actual stunt.
