Using the gyroscope technology inside the iPad, they crafted a 360 degree interior experience of the vehicle without need for an app download they claim is a world first. It certainly might be an awesome experience but viewing the ad might also make you look like some gamer idiot trying to up his points while walking down the sidewalk. Attention Creatives!

Hey, we're all for advertising casting a warm and fuzzy glow on life but how many commercials featuring the chance hookup can you watch before you start feeling like a loser? Hey, if we could meet hot women like the guy in this Corona commercial does in the grocery store we wouldn't be so bitter. Trouble is, the only women we tend to see in the grocery are fat, ugly and in no way, shape or form hot. OK, a bit of an over generalization but even if the store was teaming with hot women, they'd probably slap us in the face if we approached and tried to make some witty comment about the melons she was picking out. Fuck, maybe we are just a loser. Thanks Cramer-Krasselt! Crotch Cam Captures Human Powered Health Well what do you think we'd choose as a headline after viewing this new work from Solve and Whitehouse Post for Optum Pro Cycling? But it's not only a crotch cam that powers this gripping work which pulls you inside the life of a pro biker on the race course. It's a water bottle cam, a wheel hub cam, a handlebar cam, a crossbar cam and several other angles we can't quite figure out. Intensity is probably not a powerful enough word to describe what Solve was going for with this but whatever the word, it works. The Word 'LOL' Occupies 27 Percent of Facebook Server Capacity For years, marketers have used statistics to prop up questionable endeavors and agencies have done the same to pimp their lame ass, wicked cool ideas to clients. The beauty of statistics is that you can manipulate the numbers any way you see fit to support whatever it is you are trying to sell.

UK site, The Poke has taken it upon themselves to have a little fun with all the bullshit statistics currently being slung about regarding social media.

Your Signature is More Powerful Than You Think Here is a beautifully simple and compellingly powerful concept from TBWA for Amnesty International. To convince people their signature is a powerful tool against human rights violations, the guard in this ad gets a bit more than he expects as he's torturing his prisoner. The ad, directed by Cyrille de Vignemont and produced by Wanda, carries the tagline, Your Signature is More Powerful Than You Think. Indeed. Well done. Philips Gets Taiwanese Men to Grow Facial Hair What's a facial grooming brand to do when there's no facial hair to groom? The obvious choice might be to simply skip that market and move on to one in which facial hair is more prevalent. In order to create the need for its facial grooming products, Philips, with help from OgivlyAction in Taiwan, launched a very low tech but very effective campaign which got men thinking about growing facial hair. Without any apps or downloads or the need for an internet connection, OgilvyAction convinced 95% of targeted men to change their mind about facial hair, achieved a 25 percent redemption rate and brought the cost per contact down from $64 to $2. Impressive. Kinda makes you wonder what the big deal is about this whole internet thing.
