Bestads Top 6 of the Week – reviewed by Eric Quennoy, co-ECD, Wieden+Kennedy, Amsterdam
It’s 6 am here in the Dam and Lynchy is busting my chops to get my review in on time, so here it goes.
Forgive me if I sound sleepy.
Tough one to start with. No clear winner for me, so I’m going to give it to the good people of Vietnam for their rather disturbing AIP coffin spot. I once rode a moped in Saigon and it was horrifying, so I’m all for putting helmets on those cute little Vietnamese kids.
Get the Bestads App for only US$1.99, which gives you the Top 6 Ads* of the Week direct to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
*TV/WebFilm/Print/Outdoor/Interactive Ads of the Week (going back 7 weeks) + best Radio of gthe month + weekly judges’ comments (going back 16 weeks). While you’re at it, get The Campaign Brief iPhone App for only $1.99. Both are ranked in the top 10 chart for ad apps worldwide on iTunes.
I liked Columbia, Joby and Nehru, but I think I like Peugeot ‘French Horn’ the best. In fact, any ad called ‘French Horn’ has already got a big advantage in my book.
This one was a little easier. What’s not to like about the World’s Biggest Shave from Gillette? Might have been funnier if they used Rick Rubin instead, but it’s still great.
Even though I seem to have misplaced my 3D glasses, the Audi A8 site still kept me most engrossed. And that’s the point.
There you go Lynchy, with 11 minutes to spare. I’m off to eat an egg.
