Energy drink V has added a new piece to it’s recently launched ‘V Motion Project’ with this music video, created from body movements, over in New Zealand.

Now this is something awesome! A bottle of wine which is actually promoting a brand of beer. How is this even possible? A lot of men prefer to drink beer instead of wine, but drink wine to fit in. So Export Dry tried to save them from this. They titled a bottle of wine ‘You don’t have to do this’. On the back of the bottle they wrote this amazing copy, you definitely have to read it yourself.

Multiple Sclerosis Waikato is organisation in New Zealand supporting those with MS and funding research into a cure. The organisation recently ran a print advertising campaign featuring “human jenga” bodies, a runner, officer worker and commuter, in which it is clear that any part of the body could be pulled out. Tagline that goes along is: “With MS you never know what will go next.”

Print ads that consist of four full pages are not that common. But this one for Amnesty International is doing it in a great way. When you flip the second page you free the innocent and imprison the guilty. Not sure if everyone will get it at first sight because the freed innocent doesn’t look that free in the last image.

Rubbish is never going to disappear, but advertising agency Colenso BBDO found a way to make it beautiful. They turned the ordinary rubbish bag into a bushy hedge, which formed garden beds when placed curbside.

The “Beautify your City” campaign was created to make Auckland a more beautiful city. It prevented illegal dumping by placing flowerbeds on targeted areas and educated businesses, with a kit delivered by council ambassadors.

Random House is a big publishing firm, the following campaign is a campaign you wouldn’t expect from a firm like this one. It’s cool if you can see this one on the street.
