Perrier Plays With Dita Von Teese

Dita-von-Teese-Perrier-01.jpg

After waiting several eons for the site to load, we are treated to a lengthy choose your own adventure video featuring Dita Von Teese. It’s for Perrier and somehow, though we have no idea, it’s supposed to get us to buy the brand’s water. We could have driven to the store, purchased a few hundred cases and driven back before this long, drawn out distraction reached some sort of conclusion.

Yea, we get that the brand is going for entertainment as advertising but when absolutely nothing happens, it shouldn’t be called advertising. But…maybe Europeans love this sort of thing. Which is a good thing because that’s the focus of the campaign.

This work is an extension of earlier Ogilvy-created work for the brand which we featured here.

Married couples without children who make it past twenty years together have survived something most people don’t recognize as difficult. They chose each other without a buffer, without a project, without a shared mission beyond the terrifying simplicity of just being two people who decided this was enough.

My parents never praised me for things I was supposed to do anyway — making my bed, doing my homework, being polite — and I grew up thinking they didn’t notice, until I realized they were teaching me that competence is its own reward, not something you perform for applause

Research suggests the reason some older adults resist therapy isn’t stubbornness or pride, it’s that the entire framework — sitting with a stranger, narrating your pain, expecting validation — contradicts everything their generation was taught about strength, and asking them to do it feels less like help and more like asking them to betray the operating system that kept them alive
