Two young creatives decided to stay outside… until they get an internship at Duval Guillaume here in in Brussels. What do you think? Shall we let these guys in?

Here they are on VTM news (dutch):

When you’re between 16 and 21 and you go on holiday with TMF Travel,
sightseeing is the last thing you have in mind. However since it’s mostly
your parents who pay for the trip, you have to give them a little proof of
some ‘cultural behaviour’ abroad. So TMF Travel put up a secret archive of
readymade holiday snaps – so you only need to spend a few minutes getting
the photos you need, not a whole day. The result? Happy parents, and more
party time.

Our Antwerp office has won a bronze lion this year. This time it was the
Komatsu mailing that secuded the Cannes Direct jury.

With 10 shortlisted campaigns, we hoped we would win at least one Clio Award during the Grand Gala in Las Vegas. In the end, we got 4 Clio Awards.

In Direct there was one silver for Komatsu with the campaign “Xtreme precision”. In the same category there was also a bronze for the business cards of public bus company De Lijn. The same campaign was also awarded a bronze in Design. Finally, the ad “Save 8 lives” for Reborn to be Alive won a third bronze in the print category.

From now on we think of Las Vegas as a place where you can lose your money but where you can win awards.

This new tv-commercial for Spa Barisart gives a new dimension to the baseline “Spa Barisart, the explosive water.” It shows spectacular action scenes that are completely filmed under water. Erik Bulckens directed the film, which was shot in a gigantic underwater tank in Berlin. The actors and stuntmen had a hard time, but the hardest job was for the cameraman, who had to spend a whole day underwater.

With this new tv-ad, Spa Barisart wants to strengthen its position as the most sparkling water on the Belgian market.

As the capital of the EEC, Brussels is regularly invaded by demonstrators from all over Europe. We often see them demonstrating in the streets of Brussels: German Nurses, Spanish Peace Activists, Italian Cheese Makers, Polish Syndicalists, and so on.

But why do they always come to Brussels to demonstrate?

Duval Guillaume has made the new web worldwide commercial for TABASCO, the American icon brand from Louisiana.
The new commercial, called “streaker”, follows the humorous approach introduced by the brand with the famous ‘Mosquito’-spot that was first shown during the Super Bowl in 1997. The message underlines the TABASCO® brand’s fiery character, as well as its uniqueness in combining spiciness with flavor.

The commercial opens on a naked man face down on the gras during a soccer game with a bunch of policemen on top of him. In the subsequent images, the commercial is turned backwards and we see how the streaker runs in reverse out of the stadion, gets on his clothes again and finally ends up in an Italian restaurant where he generously puts TABASCO® Brand Pepper Sauce on his pizza. The commercial was directed by the international director Manu Coeman from the production house Latcho Drom.
