More then 100,000 bees swarmed together to form the world’s first live bee-board ever. “Save Our Swarm” was created in Devon by Banrock Station Wines in support of the Co-operative’s Plan Bee Campaign.
Money from the sale of every bottle of special edition wine will go to help preserve Britain’s dwindling bee population.

Here’s a new Gillette video that has been making the rounds. It shows Roger Federer, professional tennis player and face of Gilette, performing a trick, which most tennis players would probably fale at.. He knocks a bottle of a guy’s head from a distance during a commercial shoot. Fake or Real? It’s up to you to decide..

The iconic mints of Polo are known throughout the world, the shape of the fresh white mints has become the identity of the brand itself. In December 2009 the entire UK was covered in snow, and they decided to use the shape of the mints and the whiteness of the snow to promote Polo mints. A “Polo snow stamp” was created. When stamped in thick, fresh snow it left near perfect replica of the iconic white mint.
People can argue that placing stamps in snow has been done before in advertising, but the execution of this one is remarkably good.

Here’s a banned commercial of Heineken. It is a sort of sequel on the walk-in-fridge of Heineken, made by the agency Kings Cross in the UK.
Why posting this one? Well, our good friend Rindert from Creative Criminals is currently working for BBDO in The Farm, where 12 advertising geniusses are working on real cases of BBDO.
Heineken is his favorite beer and we hope we can motivate him by posting this commercial! Cheers Rindert!

Eurostar’s new advertising campaign called ‘Exploring is beautiful’ simply is beautiful. The ad shows a young girl’s search for animals that will talk to her. It encourages travellers to explore the continent and re-asses their way of travelling.

Renault is launching a new campaign for the Megane – The Megane Experiment. A Frenchman travels to Gisburn, a small village in Northern England, to find out whether ‘a car can change a town’. What follows is a remarkable documentary of the Frenchman, bringing ‘Joie de Vivre’ (meaning ‘Joy of Life’) into the lives of the inhabitants of Gisburn.
Although it ridiculizes the Brits, by showing their bitterness and their asocial nature, in the end, every inhabitants is filled with Joy. The documentary takes about 11 minutes but is fun to see and has this French way of humor.. You can find the documentary after the jump! Definetely a Must See!
Stella Artois continues the “She is a thing of beauty” campaign with “She”, a television commercial celebrating the Stella name. Bert & Sander prefer Stella while I am a big fan of Heineken. I have absolutely no idea why they have not posted this campaign since it actually really good.
A Norton motorbike, a sports car and a guitar is shown with respective names of Sophie, Victoria and Valerie. Cut through to a lager with the name, Stella.

Eric Cantona appears to walk right through famous moments in sport such as Liverpool’s comeback to win the Champions League final against AC Milan in 2005. “Anything can happen in sport,” says Cantona at the end of the TV ad. “The only certainty is you’ll get all of Sky Sports on Sky.”
For those of you who have some extra spare time, after the break you will find seven behind-the-scenes videos.
As well as sourcing the majority of its ingredients from the UK and Ireland, McDonald’s has committed to raising awareness of the vital role of British farms. The commercial delivers on this promise with a quirky celebration of British weather and its importance to their farmers.
