SNICKERS DON'T STOP
Sian Binder and Jennie Morris have created a top spot for Snickers, via BBDO Dubai, that is being talked about as a Cannes contender this year.
Writer Morris has been at the agency as a group Head for the last seven months, while art director Binder stayed for a month while they both did the ad.
Morris was previously in Sydney agencies including George Patts and various freelance stints (mostly for Host). Binder is now back in Sydney, currently freelancing at JWT.
Morris told CB Blog: "The ad was shot in Saudi Arabia, all the post was done in Amsterdam and the music is by a hip hop band out of Kuwait."

Look hot, don't really get the realtionship with snickers, but looks great
Brilliant. Great idea and beautifully executed. Get ready to take a walk.
Absolutely fantastic ad !!!!
SianBest I've seen in ages.Rupert
cracking ad, binder.nice one love.jamie & shakespeare's wallet.
THAT KICKS MASSIVE.INSTANT FAVE AD OF THE YEAR.FINALLY SOMETHING WITH A SENSE OF COOL.MORE FROM THIS TEAM THANX.
Jennie and SainWOW! Mrs Morris you star, hope life in Dubai is good for you and the family, hello Mr Morris.Sian, you sounded so happy in your e-mail maybe this had a little something to do with it.BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!! from Mr Dove in London
Apropos of nothing, what's become of Furby?
come back sian...i'll throw in a falcon...peter
I did a stint in Dubai, so I know there are even more challenges in getting good work through.Proud of you guys
it is a pain in the rectum to sell good work through in dubai - believe me, harder than many other places.thats why the smattering of good work coming out of there in the last couple of years has all been "proactive". this ad is a great idea, a great production and a great coup - especially for the sandpit that is the middle east.great job guys!
Really, really nice.I genuinely wish it was on my reel.Degree of difficulty? Fucking massive. It would have been an absolute cracker to make, and who wouldn't want to shoot two little armies having a war?Sian Binder, one of the truly underestimated art directors.Someone give her a job.
Great stuff Jen.A cracker.Didn't even know you guys were in Dubai.
Sorry it's all technique over idea. Not my cup of tea at all. But obviously lots of other people like it.
Simple. Engaging. Loved it. All the best Roy
it looks cool. But seems to be more like a music video for the song rather than an advert for Snickers. Get rid of the product bit at the end and it would be awesome.
GREAT!!! like the sound as well. Were is it from?the 'night look' is great, see the site from the guys who did this www.valkieser.com, little clip there from how it is made
www.valkieser.nltop top team... lovely people... and a nice little bar too... www.valkieser.nl takes you to some dodgy dutch politician by the wayjust seen it on air for the first time... during liverpool v man united...shame about the result but the spot certainly jumped out of the break...
I cannot condone an ad that portrays violence and ambushing. The art work is of very high quality but it is disappointing that obviously great talent is put to use in this negative manner.
SENSATIONAL. Don't know why but all of a sudden I have a craving for a Snickers.What I'd like to know is the name of the hip hop band and the title of the song.
Absolutely wicked Add, But who the hell are the band???? and what is the song during the Add??? Ive searched high and low with no luck! e-mail me the band name to leb425@hotmail.com plzzzzzzzzzzz. Thx OZ
yeah i've searched for the song too plz e-mail me too if you know the songs or bands name italian_boy505@Hotmail.com
the song is called "Let's Roll" by Army of One (a band from Kuwait).Tha commercial is amazing. Pure genius. For those who don't get the relationship with Snickers, well Snickers line is "Don't Stop", so basically they got rid rid of all the stop signs.
realy realy nice.http://bestreferate.ro
There's also the song, red light green light by Limp Bizkit, don't know if it's a remake or the actual song. But it sounds the same.
