TOPICAL OPPORTUNITY
CREATIVE REVIEW SAYS…
  “The ad, which promotes Sony's 3D coverage of the Wimbledon tennis
 championships, was created by digital agency Crayon. The original
 spot, by Fallon, saw thousands of brightly coloured balls thrown down
 the hilly streets of San Francisco. In the new ad these are replaced with
 tennis balls, which are shown bouncing through Wimbledon's
 quintessentially English streets. It is a carefully done homage, and the
 eagle-eyed will notice there is even a nod to the frog that appeared in
 the original commercial.”


 Crayon have used nostalgia from a previous ad to build upon the
 understanding of Wimbledon.
TOPICAL OPPORTUNITY
 Another sporting event advertising agencies always pick up on is the
 World Cup. The brand is always portrayed as „behind the team‟, and
 „united with the nation‟. For example, Mars changed their name to
 „Believe‟.
“CARLSBERG DON’T DO PUB TEAMS…”
CARLSBERG OLD LIONS
 Old Lions is the seventh television piece in the „World According to
 Carlsberg‟ series, created by Saatchi & Saatchi they aligned Carlsberg
 with football legends, taking on the status of „legend‟ and in turn
 creating an affiliation between the two.
  Using a device firmly rooted in the culture of the brands target
 audience it playfully positions the brand in a unique way. All beers want
 to be known as the best but Carlsberg want to be amongst the currently
 aspirational (in this case people significant to the world cup)
 Voted as one of the top ten advertisements of the decade by the British
 public. The interactive element of the commercial proved a huge
 success, with more viewers spending a significant portion of time
 watching content than any previous interactive television campaign.

THE COMPETITOR
 Here Asda are addressing the competition with other supermarkets in
 order to promote their lower prices. The ads were created in-house.
AND ONE THAT WORKED
M&C SAATCHI
 A surprising campaign for online electronics retailer dixons.co.uk
 created by M&C Saatchi in London, they cheekily recognise the brand's
 position in the electronics market, which is pretty much at the bottom.


  The ads acknowledge a habit that many of us may recognise with some
 guilt – that we will get advice about expensive goods at a more
 upmarket store, but then nip online to make the actual purchase, where
 it is cheaper.


  Using the familiar fonts from a number of popular London retailers –
 Selfridges the ads open with a description of the benefits of shopping in
 these stores, before then reverting to the Dixons font with the line "then
 go to dixons.co.uk to buy it".
CONTROVERSY…
  However, these ads have been banned in the last couple of months.
 Rival supermarkets Morrisons and Tesco complained that the ads
 included groceries and non-food items which were excluded from the
 price comparison.
 The supermarkets also complained that Asda implied it was generally
 cheaper than its rivals and did not make it clear that there were
 “significant” exclusions from the price comparison.
 Morrisons complained that Asda‟s Price Guarantee could not be
 substantiated because its prices could not be accurately reflected as
 they do not appear online.


 The important lesson here is that you have to get facts straight before
 going up against a rival in the public domain.
