At Piccadilly Circus in London, McDonald's has a dynamic billboard that stimulates both engagement and viral behaviour.
Playing on the irresistible human desire to pretend to interact with stuff that isn't really there, the billboard randomly flashes things like umbrellas, bouncing soccer balls, dumbbells and thought bubbles -- all waiting for some eager pedestrian to position his head and/or arms in just the right spot so some content-starved intrigue-seeker can snap a shot for mom and dad at home.
Orchestrated by Leo Burnett. See vid.

In "Wedding," Goodby Silverstein & Partners explore what it'd be like if film crews ran the world. Gotta say, crucial moments in your life -- like your wedding, par instance -- would run a lot more smoothly. 'Specially if Hub-to-Be gets the cold feet.
"Need the stunt groom -- now!"
All this is to say that Sprint Nextel's Now Network can organize your life in such a way that you will feel like a film crew's behind the scenes, keeping the perilous course between your professional and private lives neat and tidy.
Weather machine probably costs extra though. ("No rain, no rainbows." Lawl.)

"Eras" marks the start of Bacardi's newest campaign. So many beautiful things are packed into it, and knitted together so nicely, that our cups runneth over. This is us, incoherently gushing.
We'll start with the end, because the end is the beginning: "Bacardi Mojito. Since 1862." Pan to the present, where a guy at a club realizes his mojito's spent, and walks to the bar for a fresh one. As he cuts unassumingly through the crowds, the decades slip slowly backward.

For client Rona, which recycles paint, the illuminated minds at Bos/Montreal erected a banner just beneath an iPod Nano billboard.
Remember those Nano-Chromatic iPod spots where the iPods bleed in technicolor? The banner includes a row of buckets that appear to be catching the seepage.
"Nous recuperons les restes de peinture" -- "We collect the leftover paint" -- the piggyback concludes, tying it all together. GENIAL. Nothing less than what we'd expect from this creative circle though. Bos is one of those agencies whose work is hit or miss, but always out-of-the-box; brave, unabashed, idealistic. And always singularly Bos.
Berlin agency Aimaq Rapp Stolle promotes HEAD's new "Speed" racquet with a little extra-extra action from Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic. Apparently Speed makes him so virile that he manages to run into the aisle and spit game at a blonde before the ball even returns to him.
But "spit game" is an understatement; the guy busts out with balloon animals (which would've been enough to impress us), boy band moves, nipple tassles, and seals (both animal and Navy).

LOL. To promote the strength and intensity of the Mag-Lite, Ogilvy & Mather/Paris composed a print in which a distracted security guard shines his flashie on a piece of art for a wee bit too long.
That open-mouth clueless look gets us every time. We like!
Half of Adrants is Asian, which means we were irreparably traumatized by karaoke from an early age. But there's a contagious warmth to this effort by T-Mobile -- which can only be described as the Ultimate Karaoke Gangbang.
The mobile/communications firm projected the lyrics to the Beatles' Hey Jude over a billboard, then passed mics out to people on Trafalgar Square. It's neat to watch the faces: people look earnest, but uncertain, and over time they just kinda lose themselves in the na-na-nas and the feel-good Hey Jude-in'.

Every time we see a cancer ad, it's like "Oh please, not again with the sappy emo crap." But upon viewing these four spots for Akron Children's Hospital, we felt quite differently. Oh sure, they bring on the emotion, particularly the two featuring the brother and sister of a 3-year-old with leukemia, but they do it in a way that is entirely human and completely unproduced.
And that's because they weren't produced. More specifically, they were crafted by director of photography Andreas Von Scheele who spent 30-40 hours filming the commercial's subjects alone with no director or agency types hanging around the set. Yes, there was a director, Kevin Kerwin of Authentic Films but he stayed away from the shoot and out of sight.

To promote Scotts Songbird Selections Wild Bird Food, ML Rogers/NY appeals to the mildly creepy bird-watcher hidden in all (?) of us.
Apparently this particular blend of fowl-food attracts twice as many colourful birds as the typical blend. So pour it into your feeder, don your camos and gawk away.
This campaign represents Scotts Miracle-Gro's debut into birdfood. It busted its cherry with a $5 million ad campaign that'll appear on major TV networks, as well as really fun places like Home Depot, Lowe's and Wal-Mart.
Yeah, two bird spots in a row. It's just that kind of night. < Insert witty Twitter tie-in here. >
