2664107 — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:16:39 GMT

Wasn't sure about Aviva's ad series with Paul Whitehouse as a goth and the one as a silver surfer. But loving the new one as a hairdresser. What do others think?

Anyone know the ad agency looking after Oriflame at the moment?

Worst 3 adverts on TV at the moment

2368055 — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 09:27:58 GMT

1 - Savlon. It's all going fine until they inexplicably say 'which is bad news for people who like to show off their wounds to their friends' and has a boy with fake wounds. Makes no sense is utterly pointless and embarrassing.

2 - BT. Just the sound of 'Do you ever feel like your love life is blah blah blah. Shut up Adam, no one cares. and if you're going to tell a stupid soap story then at least get some consistansy in the order.

3 - Tesco. It used to be Martin Clunes, but they can't afford him anymore, now they've gone with a washed up actor from The Full Monty who looks terrible, and the premise for the ads are just to god awful to even think about. Shameful.

Just my opinion.

For a creative within the advertising industry are DESIGN SKILLS a necessity or an added bonus?

Are design skills needed for a creative, or will a stick man sketch do? Does this differ from larger agencies to smaller agencies? Has the credit crunch effected this?

Fanverts and trumpets

902609 — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 20:44:00 GMT

I am a big fan of natural confecionery company sweets. Not a big sweet fan myself, but as a parent of two smallish children, I know that the occasional sweet can reduce the overall quantity of "Are we there yet?" questions on a long journey, and the fact that they are made from all natural ingredients seems to reduce my guilt at feeding my children sweets in the first place.

But more than that, I love the adverts. My colleagues around me are sick to death of the incessant refrain of "Trumpets". But I do have a couple of important questions:

1. Was the ability of fans to create their own versions of the advert an explicit part of the creative brief given to the agency or part of the perceived value of the chosen route? I would love to think that this is the case: the ads are perfect for this - simple scenes, simple script and soundtrack, simple animation, and the easy access to the main props-sweets! I can count more than 200 tributes to the "Trumpets" ad alone (fanverts as I know them) on Youtube alone,

2. My second question is more of a complaint. Why does the experience stop there? The website is really quite flat and dull, and hardly references the ads at all. The characters havent been taken any further into any other spaces online. The C'Mons from the Vauxhall ads were a great example of how characters can be brought to life online way beyond the confines of the 30 second ad, and it feels like an opportunity to extend the campaign has been missed. So far...

Brands are looking more and more at Live Brand Experiences as it is the leading platform to connect directly with consumers

Over the next few years brands will up their marketing spend on experiential marketing due to the mass audiences declining to respond to TV advertising. Digital is always on the rise due to new technology, digital plays a significant role in the live brand experience as it amplifies further channels which will gain maximum reach for campaigns. What are your thoughts about the above integration and what the future holds? Marvin

Sponsorship Help Needed

2307016 — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:11:05 GMT

I am currently looking for a sponsor for a new television show which airs on ITVs Men & Motors from the 1st Dec 08 and then on ITV4 at the start of the new year. The show is called "Classic Gear" and more info can be seen on www.classicgear.tv - as this is a last chance to get this sponsored we are looking for £20,000 for the total show sponsorship for 12 months on both of these channels... we would also provide free advert production on the adverts for the bumpers (8 in total per show!) x 10 parts in the series x 2 channels + repeats throughout the programme schedule = ALOT of airtime!

I am sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section but this is the first time i have used the forums! Please give me a call for more information 01179397773 or email me on john@bristolfilmstudios.com

Media Buying Agencies in London

2379380 — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:41:42 GMT

I really need some help! I have a client (online) who has a target audience with disposable income (even in times such as these) - I have been given the task of setting up meetings to introduce the client, and sell their service. I am based in Southampton, and it has worked amazingly well, but funnily enough the agencies in London are hesitant to even take a 10 minute meeting with us. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can make the breakthrough? Dave

Are you creative? and understand TV ad's for kids?

2324237 — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:20:01 GMT

Hi Guys Thank you for reading my post. I am new to the site so please bare with me. We are a new company called TagEm UK ltd and our range of products are aimed at kids age 6-16yrs, with our core target market being boys and girls 8-13. Tag'Em's products allow kids to "customise their world" with different types of products. Our first products will be shoe lace charms and shoes laces but our range will grow once the products are in store etc. Tag'Em is about fun, individuality, trendy, young, sport, extreme sports and being active. We are looking for people to work with us on the creative side of our TV adverts. We are looking to produce 3 x 10sec adverts. One targeting boys, one for girls, and one for Marvel (yes the spiderman people as we have a license with them) these will be launched on kids channels like Nickelodeon for quarter 1 of 2009. We are in talks with award winning directors to produce the adverts and have kids/teens ready to be in the advert. As we are a new company we are on a very tight budget all rounds and would like to work with people who love the Tag'Em concept etc and are looking to break into this area or just have a great idea they would love to see on TV. For more information please drop me an email daniel.keating@tag-em.co.uk we are happy to speak with people from outside the UK as long as everyone is happy to sign a NDA.
