#Wimbledon is over but this groups is creating a way to let the world know that tennis is a sport that everyone can enjoy.

A very clever print ad by an international cleaning supply company, Spontex.  What stands out in the ad is the use of color and geometry.  The square shapes and sharp lines accompanied by the two bulbous oil jars make the picture visually pleasing while the blue shows you what is missing.  Spontex is showing that their sponges are so strong you wont need a sink.  Would be nice but where would we stack our dirty dishes?

This is a great definition of what motion design can do by showing how to do it.  

It might be a little early still...WHAT HAPPENED TO THANKSGIVING!!...but this is still a great commercial for Christmas.  A father trying to be creative and give his son the perfect gift, which ends up being a Playstation.

Very creative way to show how warm your apparel will keep your customers.

Fantastic logo!

This is a great idea to bridge the gap of print media and social media. An interactive campaign that gives discounts for sharing not only promotes the product line naturally but also grabs a wider audience.

Here is a great example of a company taking their brand to another medium. “Even tones and mild desaturation create a rich, slightly aged effect” is often how Levi’s jeans and sold. This filter was created to give the same feel and presentation as Levi’s jeans.

Here is further proof that knowing your audience can make your advertising more affective.  Sweet Baby Rays and Boston base ad agency MMB figure out exactly who they are talking to.

Here is a great family friendly condom ad that urges the viewer to wait until they are ready.

These posters show just how scary a roller coaster can feel. Created by the agency Rethink in Vancouver for the amusement park Play Land. These ads show that rides are not just for kids. They can also give adults an adrenaline rush.

This a great Mtn. Dew ad for their main consumer. It showcases a major past time in the demographic in a way they can relate to. Is this an attempt to be seen in the same light a Red Bull?

Bringing posters, fund raising and empathy to the next level.

A growing trend we here at WeekendVertising are noticing is that a lot of our friends are moving away.  New jobs and opportunities keep taking our group and spreading us across the United States.  A sort of W.V. manifest destiny if you will.  Technology makes it simple for us to stay in touch but that doesn’t fill the gap of not seeing them in our day to day life.  Introducing the See Meez.  When your having a party and your game partner isn’t there, just toss on the See Meez with a picture of them and BAM your buddy is back.  When your in a far off land and your friend couldn’t make it, take off Oakleys and put on the See Meez and BOOM your friend is in Thailand with you.  It will be like you never missed a beat and the person was always there.  The See Meez will be marketed to all age groups, but directed towards consumers who are being pulled apart.  College students, parents who send their kids to sleep away summer camps, significant others who’s spouses travel for business, children who parents travel for work, the list goes on and on.  The first TV spot will feature three individuals who are from different parts of the world who can’t seem to get fully comfortable with their new surroundings.  Once they put on a pair of See Meez with a picture of the one they miss the lonely user starts to let go of their sullen mood and start enjoying themselves, with their buddy.  Though these may not fly off the shelves they will hopefully be good for one thing….perhaps they can help introduce a future employee to a new job?  That’s just a thought but we could see it working.

Great print ad showing how Raid takes care of all insects.  Even a pesky musical bee.
