Video Ad: Bacardi Mohito Ad

This was one of the ads that used to appear pretty often when I was in US in 2006 and 2007. Mostly During timeouts in the Football Matches. A very stylish way of saying that Bacardi Mohito keeps the party running without saying it in so many words.

Print Ad: Absolut Feng Shui

The TBWA folks who started the Absolut series of ads and the concept behind it in the 1970s must have very strong pattern recognition and cognitive abilities. The kind of places where they find an Absolut bottle is amazing. One ad showing Feng Shui or Vaasthu Shaastra.

Video Ad: Cocoa Pebbles Hulk Hogan

This is the ad that has Hulk Hogan fuming currently. He has sued Post cereals for having a character that resembles him and shares the name that he used during his earlier days in wrestling ( before Vince Mcmohan suggested that he change to a more Irish Sounding name -- Hulk Hogan) without his permission.






Guess ,the Hulk is more p*ssed with the fact that Hulk Boulder gets pounded by Pebbles and Bam Bam after having Cocoa Pebbles in the Ad.

Video Ad: The Cog

The sequence starts with a transmission bearing rolling down a board into a synchro hub. The hub in turn rolls into a gear wheel cog, which falls off of the board and into a camshaft and pulley wheel. The camshaft swings around into the centre section of an exhaust pipe mounted on top of an engine crankshaft assembly. The exhaust in turn swings round to knock, which in turn swings into the first of a series of valve stems. The valve stems roll down a front bonnet placed on top of an alloy wheel rim, releasing an engine oil dipstick with a throttle actuator shaft on the end. The disptick flicks over an engine cam cover into a radiator. The radiator overturns, falling onto a wheel balanced on top of a water pump housing. This wheel rolls off and knocks into the first of a series of three weighted wheels, which roll up a ramp into a brake disc.

If you still don't know what I am talking about take a look at the video. One of the best ads of all times and one of the most award winning ads.




It took 606 takes to get the video right but it was worth each try. The final ad that was screened for the first time during an ad break of the Brazilian Grand Prix was such a runaway hit even the rival ad company bosses were indicating that it was one of the best ads that they had seen.
