Everyone’s Sweethart: Jennifer Lawrence

When I wrote about Jennifer Lawrence, few weeks ago, it was before the whole noise about her started.

It was before the infamous fall at the Academy Awards…

And before the joke-cracking session after the Oscars-

Jennifer turned out to be a wonderful, sweet person, who is beautiful on the inside and out. Good for Dior for choosing her as their face. I enjoyed Jennifer Lawrence’s funny comment about the Dior campaign, not many celebrities would say that out loud:

“Oh my god, I haven’t seen this. That doesn’t look like me at all. I love Photoshop more than anything in the world. Of course it’s Photoshop, people don’t look like that.”

But photoshop or not she is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what else she will star at.

Epic and even funnier: Sh!t Fashion Girls Say

Do you remember the Sh*t Fahsion Girls Say video from a couple of weeks ago? Now there are two new episodes, made by different people and they are EPIC! Definitely worth the five minutes spent watching! How many of these have you said? Cuz I know for myself… it is more than just a few of these one-liners that come out of my mouth.

And part two:

Hot or Not?

George Clooney is in a bank ad, these days, promoting savings. The story is a bt awkward and definitely unrealistic. Perhaps that’s the point. But seriously… not funny, not that cute, and definitely not making me save more. There is a buzz around, that he said he will never ever marry again, so he agreed to this ad for shits and giggles.

It reminds me of the Uma Thruman Schweppes ad, that is basically the same – a blah featuring a celeb. Having famous people definitely works wonders for the virality of the ads, but the creatives should put some more creativity in the story and the copy. I have always wondered how you go and pitch that script to the celebs….

Old Spice in a New Way

The male fragrance market is pretty saturated. Who has not watched the funny cool ads about the Axe effect, or seen any of the prints for Aqua di Gio.

And amongst all that fragrant hotness, how many people really liked or bought Old Spice?

Personally I think the brand was a bit outdated, the cool factor was gone, and even the packs of the products were tad antique-looking. Until now:

As you see Old Spice has reinvented itself with an amazing viral marketing campaign. It’s all over the internet, and people are “loving it”. The Old Spice YouTube Channel is funny, sassy, and sexy, just as the ad. The clever sense of humour in the ads make you want to watch them over and over again, and the handsome funny actor is just adding to the overall coolness, with his perfect enunciation and inflection. All the other ads on the channel are funny too. However they have a little scent of the Axe ads in them, pun intended.

Also great PR on their part- Isaiah Mustafa (the hot actor from the ad) was on Ellen’s Show. He was very pleasant and funny, and talked a bit for about the scenes. The ad is one long shot, and they had to shoot it more than 80 times. It was all worth it though. Great final result.

On a final note I love that the ad above is talking to the ladies. It is not a macho, “yeah I’m a man! Grr!” aggressive type of an ad, it is subtle in its macho-ness presenting “what women want”, with a clever wink to the guys.

Great job Old Spice!
