Car Glass: Cultural (In)differences

Posted by Bert Callens on August 3, 2010 3 comments

Countries in Europe may seem like they all have the same framework of understanding, but less is true. When interacting with different cultures the framework no longer applies due to cross cultural differences. Therefore companies often change their message, structure and design of their advertising campaigns.
But not with Car Glass. Underneath you can see the commercial running in the Netherlands, France, Great-Britain and Italy. Everything is the same! Via

Nissan: Sony Bravia Spoof

Posted by Bert Callens on May 10, 2010 1 comment

Who has the biggest balls? In this spot Nissan copied the concept of Sony a couple of years ago. The commercial show all kind of heavy bowling-balls falling down the streets and destroying all cars parked, except for the Nissan Qashqai of course..
I think we all agree that the original of Sony is the best, but this idea isn’t too bad..

Adidas: Zidane about Lionel Messi

It only takes a moment, a fraction of a second even, for a spark to ignite and change the course of the game.
These are the words of football legend Zinedine Zidane. In his creepy loocking black hooded cloak he talks about Lionel Messi, who is about to become a legend..
