Ready for this Sunday's Big Game? Well, the team at Red Tettemer + Partners is, and they'd like to invite everyone to play their Super Bowl XLVII Commercial Bingo Cards. All you have to do is mark off the things you see in commercials according to the quarters. If you get Bingo, email an image of your winning card to [email protected].
The first person to send a winning card will win a 32" flat screen TV.
Additional Bingo cards will be posted to a photo album on RT+P's Facebook page throughout the weekend.
OK so we're watching this new, Arnold-created Jack Daniel's ad in which a Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whisky barrel is deconstructed and turned into a snare drum and all we can come up with is, "Why? Why? Why?"
Seriously, why? Does whisky make a better snare drum? We don't think so. Because if it did, all snare drum manufacturers would be buying up old whiskey barrels and converting them.
Of course, this is advertising so logic and common sense take a back seat. The barrel deconstruction and reconstruction is simply an excuse to hold a contest in which entrants can win the drum...and tickets to a Zac Brown Band show.
Remind us again...how does this sell whiskey?

In celebration of the apparent increase in average height of women in Vietnam, Australian coffee brand Gloria Jean launched a promotion offering free coffee to women in the country 1.65 meters (about 5'6") or taller.
Predictably, the campaign, which followed a Vietnamese government campaign advocating official recognition of the increase in average national height, backfired following complaints the effort was offensive. The company has since cancelled the promotion

Hmm. In perhaps one of the most annoying stunts ever, Innocean Worldwideand Thinkingbox outfitted a Kia Rio to go all batty honking and making weird car noises when people at a recent Vancouver Whitcapes game tweeted with the hasttag #kiacheerwcf.

A new campaign, Drivemixer, from F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi for the Honda Fit Twist transformed the vehicle into a professional music mixer enabling N.A.S.A. (L.A. based Squeak E. Clean and Brazilian DJ Zegon) to create a new track using the Honda as a musical instrument. The car was turned into a keyboard module, and all the elements in the track composed by Squeak E. Clean (Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (Zé Gonzales) were triggered by features transformed in the car.

Working with a corporate brand template from Carlton Draught for a Laundry Night promotion, a Sydney Australia pub, the Imperial, part of the Paddington Pub Precinct, is promising people a night off from ironing.
A promotional email from the pub read, "Give the wife, girlfriend or partner a rest tomorrow night, because the Carlton Draught girls will be in to do your laundry (well your ironing anyway)."

When one thinks of an economically friendly hybrid vehicle, one usually thinks zen thoughts; calm, soothing, green, calm, practical, relaxing, smart, respect, harmony.
Saatchi & Saatchi Milan, however, would like us to think differently about the Lexus GS Hybrid and to do so they paired people with a stunt driver, strapped a heart rate monitor on them and then had the driver thrash them around a race course. All to see if the passengers could keep their heart rates below 120. None could.
In fact, one woman looked like she was about to explode. Alas, no humans were harmed in this experiment but we think Lexus has succeeded in changing the mindset people have when it comes to a hybrid vehicle.

Akin, in some small way, to the famed Million Dollar Homepage, two Martin Agency creatives are out with Twitterich, an effort that aims to garner one million followers on the @1MillionRIcher Twitter account. But not to keep for themselves. Once the account has one million followers, the account will be awarded to one lucky person who chose to follow the @1MillionRIcher account.
So if you are in dire need on one million Twitter followers - and we know you are because everyone in this business is totally vain - get following the account and you could win!
