    What? A Company Is Behind A Viral Vid?

    Adrants reports that Gawker says that Levi's is behind a certain very popular video of people doing stunts into their jeans. Say it ain't so that a company might think it could benefit by making a video that gets alot of attention! What is this interweb gonna do for unbranded entertainment now?

    Ad Mash-up

    This is one of those scary, cultish 'the leader is watching' type mash-ups by Wreck & Salvage that uses some old classic advertising (My Buddy!).  It is pretty freaky and surreal, but what would we expect from some funky digital artists with an editing system.

    Damn I Wish I Had A Million Or So

    If I had a few million to throw against an idea to make a commercial for a flat screen TV, it would probably look like this too.


    UPDATE: It seems that the Bravia commercial idea may have been stolen, read about it here.

    Make A Vid, Win A Vespa

    In a new CGM contest, Vespa is asking it's fans to create a video about Vespanomics, it's green initiative encouraging people to cut down on riding in cars and up riding on scooters (full disclosure, I really want a GT60 in Orange) to save the world. There are some great posts up there, but Ms. G hipped me to this one where this die-hard created his own song and music video about Vespanomics and ya know what, it is pretty damn good! Time to brush off the old Ukelele...

    It's Friday So... A Remixed Gorilla Playing Drums

    So first W.Pants sends me the Cadbury Ad with a Gorilla Playing Drums. Pretty exciting as is, but then I discover the mash-ups and oh yes, it is on. This is why I love how the CGM can affect almost anything. The raw materials are there and anyone can throw their own sense of humor, taste or rampant lack thereof and create something new and beautiful. And all in all it works best for Cadbury who has a viral commercial, and then gets all the added exposure, remixed impressions, positive association and most importantly, people think they are cooler for it and may buy their product as a result.

    What Do 1,000,000 Post-Its Look Like?

    Post-It Art, Stop Motion film and a bit of Time Lapse work into this MTN commercial that Marketing-Alternatif blogged about today. The effort is almost as impressive as the result.
