Nike | Dwyane Wade in Dominate Another Day



In a mixture with Tron, Iron Man, and a clear reference to our beloved James Bond, Mark Jordan Brand, NIKE, has just launched its newest commercial.

We're talking about "Dominate Another Day", where the player Dwyane Wade emerged as the Agent D3, in a somewhat risky mission in a production worthy of Hollywood blockbusters. The whole thing will be continued in other chapters in his journey as a secret agent. Not much, but as I said, the production is worth.

Creation of Wieden + Kennedy, Portland.

Adidas | Fast fuels danger. Danger makes legend



Connecting via Facebook, players are launched into head-to-head battle with members of the adidas Football online community. Once a player picks their city, they are transported to a Google Maps-style view of the urban sprawl, divided into hundreds of segmented areas. It is up to the gamer to then claim these territories in text-based, one-on-one battles by attacking the space-holder with a choice of three skills, then defending the spot from new challengers with three blocking moves.

Once a player wins 50 territories they can challenge a 'legend' from the adidas stable - for example Barcelona's legend is Lionel Messi - earning a badge for victory and a place in a prize draw for signed adidas gear. All achievements can also be shared via the player's social networks.

SomeofmyWork™ | LIVE [NIKE]

LIVE [NIKE] from SomeofmyWork™ on Vimeo.


This started out as Jim Campbell's contribution to a Nike sponsored arts based project, where a number of individuals were supplied with a pair of Nike trainers and asked to create a piece that 'challenged the function of the shoes, using sport as an inspiration'. Jim's take on this was that since Nike first started making running shoes in 1978, we no longer just use them solely for running, but that we LIVE our life in them. Anyway Jim ended up far too busy with client work to finish this for the deadline so he stepped away from the project and just finished it for himself.

Guang Yin Yoga Club | Wooden Box



This action is further proof that it is not necessary to have exorbitant budgets to have an effective campaign.

Over the past four years, Guangyin Yoga Club has had some difficulties to get new members for their yoga classes. To save the business would need about 300 new students, but how to do this with virtually no money?

A bright idea directed by Jacky Xiao: the guys decided to put the yoga master for your club in a small box in one of the busiest places in Shanghai. Every time a person spent the next such case, the master stretched out his arm and gave a small card promoting the site. The result was a series of scares and a much greater success than expected.

The campaign lasted 15 days, with about 35,000 people directly impacted more than 300,000 hits on web videos, more than $ 138,000 in spontaneous media. And after the campaign, about 2,000 people visited the site in about one month, thus gaining 622 new members (107% more than expected!). And the cost of real guys? Only $74.
