Idea: Famouse Maustache

Benson & Hedges

Website demo: Very expensive shoes..

presentation mood for exclusive women shoes website.
(ignore the prices)

Sofa World

Sofa World produces a coffee table book with inspiring photos and poems:

Rolex about time

Slgan: When you think about time even a watch like Rolex appears insignificant.

Idea: Tattoos on leather products

Why not to pair up cool tattoo artists and luxury leather brands to create custom made special leather products? For example, customers can choose different design tattoos for their bags, boots or jackets.
Below are some moods i created in photoshop (not the best examples of tattoos, but fine to illustrate the idea)

Alternatively, customers can go directly to a cool tattoo studio and ask them to make a tattoo on their leather products. If it works on people and pigs, it will nicely work on your leather bag too.

The other scent of India.

India is famous for its incenses and infamous for its garbage. The smell of burning garbage is probably the most pervasive and dominant of all. (Due to the lack of garbage management infrastructure the most common way to rid of it is to burn it on a backyard.)

Why not to design special incense sticks made entirely from hand rolled garbage? And use it as part of the awareness campaign for better waste management.

For example Garbage Hase sticks can be mailed to officials who are responsible for environmental issues as a reminder of their duties. Or better yet to lit hundreds of sticks outside official offices and smoke some action out of them!

Idea: Run For Your Life

alternatively, how about sponsoring Running of the Bulls Festival in Pamplona, Spain?

Some film ideas

These are some film ideas that i eventually would like to write...



A film about an unusual serial killer.



A film about a broke writer who has an uncurable sickness and decides to freezes himself in the north pole ice. To make a compelling incentive for future generations to unfreeze him (and cure his sickness!) he writes a gripping book BUT with the last chapter missing... and attaches a special note (with a map where to find his body) asking to bring him back to life if they want the last chapter to be written.

Pass The Blame

Seth Godin on being remarkable (at least in marketing)

just liked this talk and decided to post it.

Rape Prevention Kit

this idea has been inspired from talking to western girls travelling single in India:




i think that it might work because confusion is a great deterrent... ;)

Idea: 5 Star Special Edition Books

To (re)publish a book with doodles and margin notes of 5 popular celebrities.

Each chosen celebrity person would be given a "clean" virsion of the book to read and asked to leave his/her comments on the book's pages. Every celebrity would have a different colour in case they write on the same page. The result would be a special edition with comments of all five "stars" in one book - which is a high value bonus in a culture obsessed with fame.

On the back of the book one can see individual Celebrity Involvement Charts showing which parts of the book they found particularly interesting or otherwise.

The idea works particularly well with popular non-fiction books, i.e. personal or growth, or books on contraversial subjects llike climate change.

It works well in a digital format, but having a real "analog" makes it very special.

Minimalistic ad statement

Idea: Special Thanksgiving Price

On Thanksgiving Day Zara fashion store sells its selected items not for money... but for customer's thanks. The dollar price has been converted into "Thanks" currency. For example, if the item costs 59 dollars, a customer has to say 59 times thanks at the cashpoint in order to have it. The "sale offer" is limited to 5 items per one person.

The campaign is designed to generate public awareness about the new Zara store.

Video with the customers storming the store will be coming soon ;)

Idea: For discreet phone calls talk to Orange

Gone are the days when it was cool to be seen talking loud on a mobile phone in a public place. Now it is just annoying when you are forced to listen to people talking to their phones when you sit next to them on a tube, in a restaurant or standing in a supermarket's queue. And what about those who find themselves in a crowded place and would like to have a discreet phone talk? When you are stuck in a lift full of people even whispering wouldn't help. So why not to design a special mobile accessoire gadget that would solve this problem? For example, a special sound insulating cover for the mouth (like a small mouth mask). The mask will have a special wireless microphone connected to a mobile phone. It can be made from a soft jelly material that can be attached to the mouth of the speaker (principle of a suction cup or else).
Below is an example I used for Orange. (Just because I like oranges.)

Spamarketing: Time for advertising green tax?

A typical view: next to mailboxes stands a waste basket full of discarded direct mailing advertising. People hate it and yet the "analog" spamming seems to be on the rise. What a waste of paper, trees, paint, etc. The way I see it - the only way to stop it is to make advertisers responsible/accountable for such a waste of natural resources. I don't know, maybe introducing the first Advertising Green Tax will help?

Idea: Nike vs Adidas: 50/50 Special Edition

In a spirit of New Business Consciousness paradigm Nike and Addidas produce "joint venture" sneakers - 50/50 Special Edition. For example, the right side is Nike and the left - Adidas.

Idea: Celebrate Your Crotch

Le Crotch is a fashion brand that celebrates sexiness of pubic hair.

While nowadays mainstraem fashion dictates that you have to hide this part of human anatomy, Le Crotch goes against the common views and instead makes it a highlight - by attaching specially designed triangular furry patches over its clothes. (the texture, shape and colour vary)






it's bold and certainly not for everyone ;)

Google Face Search engine

Idea: Rent My Face (new advertising medium)

Followeing my previous post on the subject of face ( Third Eye Widget), here's another idea for a special network that allows its members to earn money by displaying real time ads on their gobs. (click on the image to enlarge)

Idea: Astro Organiser software

Why not to design a special organiser that incorporates your personal astrology adviser? It will be based on your personal astrological data ( you have to input your date and place of birth, etc.)

Aspirin?

Idea: Take a break from work. Get-a-Flu.

Here's a viral campaign thought from xgeronimo how to promote the effectiveness of the best anti-flu pills on the market. Farma-tec is creating a special gray pill containing a flu virus for people to get infected when taken orally. They will be given away for free with every pack of Farma-tec's "Rid-of-Flu" (anti-flu pills). The campaign's slogan: TAKE A BREAK FROM WORK. GET A FLU.



Here's a draft of the website. under construction.

Idea: How to end the war in the Middle East

Israel had wars with its neighbours in the Middle East since the foundation of the state more than 50 years ago. Diplomacy has failed to solve the conflict. Military actions didn't help it either. Maybe this is THE SOLUTION? ;)

I am lovin' it?

Here's some stuff from Rebelbaby who did some tagging in Busan, South Korea.
The MacDonalds ad - yes, I am lovin' it ;))

I ___THIS AD / the idea

This campaign was devised with an objective to raise the level of consumer awareness about the quality of outdoor advertising in a city.
The idea - members of the public are invited to tag advertising posters with stickers reflecting their personal opinions about the ads.
The campaign kicked off in Berlin and continued in Seoul.
Below are some pics from October 2006.










If you also think that there's too much crap advertising in your area, download free samples of "I___THIS AD" sticker designs from here and start "tagging" ;)
