Facebook profiles read like biographies, so we used them to promote biographies
To promote a new series of world biographies of De Morgen newspaper, we created facebook profiles of famous people. Through the facebook status we spread quotes and photo’s featured in the biographies. We also announced the release date of each book and triggered discussions by commenting on things happening in the world. If you became a facebook friend of Nicolas Sarkozy or Fidel Castro, you could learn to know them a bit. But only by getting the biography you learned to know them really well.

Alfa Romeo helps people sell their cars
As part of the sales promotion campaign during the Brussels car show,
Alfa Romeo has converted 50 bus shelters around Belgium into free classified ad hoardings. After all, since a new Alfa Romeo is now so cheap, you’ll want
to be getting rid of your current wheels pretty quick.

Advertising 11.000 meters below sea level.
Every two years in january, hundreds of car salesmen gather together in Brussels at the ‘Brussels Auto & Moto salon’ with the aim of selling as many cars as they can. So a huge amount is spent on advertising. Or rather, it’s spent on media. But Alfa Romeo, as a non-conformist brand, briefed us to do something different for their 147 model. But just like the others, the only thing we could talk about was price. Their exact words were ‘we can’t go any lower’. We took that literally.

Duval Guillaume makes new worldwide web commercial for TABASCO
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.
Komatsu Gold.
At this years edition of the RMB Cyberlions award, Komatsu received the Gold medal in the category ‘Viral Advertising’ with the ‘Xtreme precision’-emailing.

Spa&Fruit, your lightweight lemonade
In a new TV-commercial, Spa&Fruit wants to position itself more then ever as a low calorie soft drink. Spa&Fruit can rightfully make this claim, because it has a unique combination of natural Spa mineral water and fruit juice.
In the commercial, directed by Henry Littlechild, we see a woman who doesn’t succeed in killing a spider. Every time she steps on the spider, the spider just walks on like nothing has happened. What’s more, the spider even manages to walk on when the woman’s foot is on his back. On this image the pay-off appears: Spa&Fruit, your lightweight lemonade.
