The big new Nike commercial from Wieden + Kennedy that finds out what it’s like to be loved/hated b-ball behemoth LeBron James (and it’s almost like a wordier, more earnest version of the ‘Write the Future‘ football work).

Taika Waititi warned everyone that his kinda-new, but mainly just rehashed music video for the Patea Maori Club’s Maori electrofunk classic Poi E would be either average or terrible. And while it does include some of the action from the outstanding Thriller/Poi E mash-up seen at the end of … Read more »
Are you sick and tired of seeing infomercials that offer moderately useful products? If so, then you should watch these infomercials for completely useless products (and make sure you get yourself a handy Hawaii Chair). It’s a tribute to the power of human thought. But don’t send any money … Read more »
We always seem to be dishing out warnings for our raunchy videos (you marcomms folk are so precious) and, once again, we’re heading swiftly down the slippery slope towards the lowest common denominator this week.

Who’s it for: Meridian by Assignment Group and Perendale
Why we like it: Wells works very well as a quirky Meridian mascot and manages to spread its renewable gospel in a non-preachy, sensible and entertaining way. Plus, it shows off some of the best bits of New Zealand and there’s a pretty good story behind the ad too.
Who’s it for: NZ Book Council by Colenso BBDO and Octane Digital
Why we like it: Much like the previous powerful effort for NZ Book Council, Going West, the time-consuming paper artistry on display for the follow up well and truly captures the attention and shows how books can shape lives.
Who’s it for: Shapes Roadies by Y&R Auckland and Finch
Why we like it: Many New Zealanders didn’t take too kindly to the glut of manvertising that was foisted upon us last year. But, judging by the response to the absurd and very entertaining campaign for Roadies, they seem to like manchildvertising. Some bravura performances in the backseat on display here.

Search New Zealand advertising on Facebook and this is what you get, this old chap should’ve gone to Specsavers, great pics of the Tough Guy challenge, search Google Images by drawing, and a great way to put sandwich thieves off the scent.
