From Wieden+Kennedy. This is one of a series. We’ve watched the others; they’re all rubbish. But this one’s good. Interesting discourse on web campaigns vs TV.

But bless their souls, they’re all listening to commercial radio on the way there.

We represent the Australian Traffic Network, in case you’ve forgotten.

You’ve seen projection mapping on buildings. At least you have if you’ve been paying attention to this web site. Here’s projection mapping on some guy’s face. A lovely piece of work from Samsung, who take low-key branding to a new low.
