As good today as it’s always been

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://www.bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2008/Sep/16634_Hovis_Still5.jpg
Hovis is an iconic British brand with huge amounts of latent affection and warmth. But recently it has lost ground to Warburtons. The marketing challenge was to put Hovis back in its rightful place as the most iconic bread brand in the country, leading with epic and emotional advertising focusing on Hovis's heritage.

Hovis has been on the kitchen tables and in the hearts and minds of the British public for 122 years. The brand needed advertising to reflect that. It's fitting, therefore, that the ad launched with a 122" spot (one second for every year Hovis has been around) in Coronation Street on 12th September. It's also running on Cinema.

The ad via Miles Calcraft Briginshaw Duffy, London tells the story of a young lad who buys a Hovis loaf in a bakery in 1886, tucks it under his arm and carries it through some of the most important and iconic periods and events in our history home to his mum in 2008. The campaign carries the line "As good today as it's always been".

Focusing instead on how society despises the drink driver, their actions and the consequences, this new campaign for the Motor Accident Commission of South Australia is a radical departure from all previous advertising aimed at spreading the anti drink driving message. In each of the three spots, Clemenger BBDO Adelaide see a different individual talk very personally to camera about the things that they truly love, punctuated at the end with the thing they hate the most, the drink driver. With out their saying it in so many words, each portrait reveals a very poignant and arresting testimony that allows the viewer to identify with the emotional impact that drink driving has on our lives.

In a digital space cluttered with online racing games (especially related to Formula One), BBDO/Proximity Singapore wanted to create a breakthrough execution by racing across the web.
Visitors to the catchlewis.com microsite must answer nine questions, released in stages, by jumping to cool sites, completing the challenge against the clock and racing back to submit it. There are three attempts at each task, each with different questions, so ‘racers’ can log their fastest qualifying times.

 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   AUSTRALIA    September 17, 2008 02:37 (Edited: February 17, 2023 04:19)
https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/Em%26Cam.JPGThis week's guest judges are Emma Hill and Cameron Hoelter, creative team at Clemenger BBDO Melbourne.
This is their second stint together. The first was in Tasmania. But then they found out they were cousins, so fled to separate agencies in Melbourne and Sydney. They hooked up again in 2006, put the cousin thing aside, and since then have made some good stuff and won some attractive awards.









BEST TV
Cam: Jeez Emma. Everything from alzheimer's to a skateboarding lime guy.
Emma: Sure is a gamut of emotions covered here.
Cam/Emma: We chose Alzheimer's 'Car'. Not so sure about the canned laughter, feels a bit familiar in charity ads, but the insight is super powerful.
Runner up would be Bud Light 'Lime'.

BEST PRINT
Emma: Tough going here Cam.
Cam: Sure is Emma.
Emma: Do we have to pick something?
Cam: Yes, we should.
Emma/Cam: The Los Inrockuptibles is the most interesting idea here. Well, execution. Demonstrating everything they've got in the magazine, by showing someone falling and cracking their head open is different. Can't split the rest for 2nd.

BEST OUTDOOR
Emma: Small field here Cam.
Cam: As small as the ESPN 'Sponge Field' Emma.
Emma: Blue Shield is cool.
Cam: I like that one too. And maybe the ESPN 'Sponge Field' for second.

Imagine what it's like to forget how to do what you've always done and known. To have your mind playing tricks on you every day. Imagine not remembering where you parked your car, or worse still, not remembering who your wife or husband is.
It's a terrible feeling, which creates a lot of anxiety, confusion and frustration, to say the least. It's Alzheimer's, and unfortunately is often diagnosed much later than need be. To raise awareness of Alzheimer's signs and stages, Colenso BDDO Auckland has brought to life the way that Alzheimer's works, through a series of Candid Camera style tv ads.
