This script tells the true, but fantastic, story of Roy Sullivan, a U.S. park ranger who was struck by lightning 7 times during the course of his life in ways so increasingly absurd that one could almost be forgiven for thinking that nature had it in for him for some unknown reason. This darkly funny tale is the inspiration and basis for the underlying idea: if you don't use environmentally friendly Tetrapak, you'd better have a very good reason for not doing so.Agency Lowe Bull Johannesburg.

Lake Kinneret (the Sea of Galilee), the only large freshwater source in Israel, is suffering from a dangerously deteriorating water level. The lack of rainy days in hot Israel, combined with a drought year, resulted in the lowest Kinneret water level in years – endangering drinking water supply for the entire population. McCann Erickson, Tel Aviv had to make the Israeli public more aware of the problem, and by that reduce national waste of water.The Solution:Meeting young people in an unexpected place – Twitter. We launched perhaps the saddest Twitter account –Kinneret Status” – and developed an application that automatically pulls the daily water level from the government's Water Authority. Followers, who were used to reading funny tatus updates written by their friends, suddenly started receiving status updates from the most important lake in the country.

In this TV campaign for T-Mobile, silly outdated UK rules/laws were played out for real in order to highlight other silly outdated rules in the mobile phone industry. Saatchi London team Stanley Cheung and Steve Hudson said: "It was really great to carry out these silly laws for real and capture real public reactions. Our feathered friends in 'GEESE' were very well behaved (maybe too well behaved!) and did everything the director asked of them. Except one goose who 'went all Hollywood on us' and demanded his own personal straw lined trailer and a pedicure. In the other ad ('LONGBOW') we can happily report that nobody died."

How do self-respecting creatives get themselves excited about a campaign that promotes crowd-sourcing? Check out this ad for Doritos. It manages to cleverly convince its audience that this is a contest they could actually win. Still, I would challenge any of those submissions to be half as good as this ad.

Blackcaps vs. Australia. This is clearly an insider campaign. I confess to not completely understanding or appreciating all the jokes. Yet it's easy to see that this is a sharp idea with plenty of legs.


https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/ARI-MERKIN.jpgThis week's guest judge is Ari Merkin, chief creative officer, Toy New York.
In 1993, Ari began his career as a copywriter, working for advertising legends Roy Grace and Diane Rothschild.
Five years later, he moved to Crispin Porter + Bogusky in Miami, where he was a part of many of the agency's great success stories, including the launch of the MINI, the Truth 'Body Bag' campaign, and the Grand Prix winning IKEA 'Lamp' spot.
In 2003, he became ECD of Fallon New York, where he met his partners, Anne and David. Together, they delivered record-breaking sales years for clients like Starbucks, Brawny and Virgin Mobile, and led the mere 35-person shop to become one of the top 10 most awarded agencies in the world.
Ari has been seen on many creative 'Top Ten' lists, was named to the AAF's Hall of Achievement in 2009, and was one of Ad Age's '40 Under 40'. His work has won 'Best of Show' honors from The One Show, Cannes, Clio and the Effies. Ari may well be the only creative ever to win 13 One Show Pencils in a single year. He is currently a member of The One Club Board of Directors.
Ari sees advertising as a business of understanding human beings. In fact, he and his wife, Roneet, have produced four of their own. He's proud to say it's his best work to date.
