 TV Winner: Orangina: I'm actually from the Planet of The Animals, where Orangina is actually used as everything. So this is just a really terrific product demo.

SOLUTION we targeted people in the market for a new car. In the motoring sections of newspapers, we ran a double-sided ad that capitalised on the Poloâs appeal. By cutting out and using the ad, people could put their current cars up for sale, while driving around with a constant reminder of the car theyâd rather have: the gorgeous new Polo.RESULT We turned car windows into a new media space. Every car that used our ad became a mini billboard for the Poloâs sheer desirability â a fact made even better when it was a Toyota or Ford with our Volkswagen message in its window.VIEW THE AD Putting all the images together The new gettyimages campaign created by Shalmor Avnon Amichay /Y&R Interactive Tel Aviv shows the power of mixing together different images creating an entirely new and exciting one:The new image is built entirely from the 2 images that enter the meat-grinder.VIEW THE UNDERWATER AD VIEW THE LANDSCAPE AD VIEW THE MONSTER AD  Based on a successful European business model, amaysim is a pure SIM-only product offering low rates for voice, SMS and data, with no flagfall Australia-wide, meaning the average Australian mobile user can expect to save up to 50% on their bill.

Description: Media placement was the key to the success of these ads. We wanted to engage our target by creating out-of-the-ordinary changes to places where environmentalists are often found. We ultimately decided that bike lanes would be the ideal spot, and so we made the bicycle symbols in bike lanes into mini guerilla advertisements. By using washable, eco-friendly paint to draw a cape onto the bike lane people and attaching a call to action, environmentalists were engaged in an unexpected way.

Under the guidance of Hello World Creative Director, Theo Ferreira, creatives Gareth oâ Callaghan and Aadil Dahlech came up with the new brand premise: âToo good not to share.â The TV commercials are based on real stories that are just that: too good to keep to yourself. The two spots, featuring loads of scantily clad ladies, some skinny-dipping and a naked dude on a scooter, were shot over one day and three cold nights in Cape Town. Despite all the obvious perks of working on such, ahem, entertaining scripts, there were quite a few challenges too. Kevin had to use captivating shorthand to do the stories justice, without losing any of the truth in the details. It was also mid-winter and one of the main cast members was wearing nothing but, for lack of a better description, a banana hammock. âThe main thing was the cast getting to grips with all that nudity and getting comfortable,â says Kevin âand then there was the challenge of getting a performance out of [the actors] despite the cold.âVIEW THE HELMET SPOT VIEW THE MY GIRLFRIEND'S BITS SPOT Mamma Mia, here we go again...
