Ray-Ban Oh Jerome No

“Oh Jerome, no!” The eponymous phrase refers to Jerome (Mamoudou Athie, The Get Down), the protagonist in the latest short film from Ray-Ban and Yours Truly. Oh Jerome No, the third short for Ray-Ban as part of their #ITTAKESCOURAGE campaign, explores the story of Jerome, a bachelor with all the luck in his court: mystery, sociability, and sensitivity. Maybe too much sensitivity. So much sensitivity that he mistakenly blurts out “I love you” in the very early stages of each romantic conquest. After seeing a hypnotherapist to help him curb his premature declarations, Jerome finds out whether his new, more socially acceptable behavior will help him in a different kind of budding relationship.

Ray-Ban Oh Jerome No

Oh Jerome No features original music by American singer-songwriter Natalie Prass, who plays Jerome’s love interest. Jerome discovers through the minutiae of day-to-day life – picnics in the park, the loss of a pet fish, and eventually a couple’s fight as a result of Jerome’s hypnotism – that he is capable of love at the right time and place after all. Men with the courage to display their sensitive sides might just win out in the end.

Pokemon Go Missing People Near Here

Missing People, a charity in the UK, is using the current Pokémon GO craze to raise awareness for the real high-risk missing people who desperately need to be found and made safe. Vinyl posters of missing people borrow the look and feel of Pokemon balls to target gamers in the area the at risk individual was last spotted. They ask anyone with information to call the charity’s free, 24/7 and confidential helpline 116 000. The Vinyls were placed on the floor to be most visible to Pokemon gamers looking down at their phones. Posters will also run in high visibility sights in popular Pokemon hotspots as well as transport hubs, including London Waterloo station. To determine the most relevant places in which to activate the Pokemon Go Missing People campaign, BBH London interns cross referenced locations where high risk missing people were last spotted with popular Pokémon GO hotspots. The first of these took place at an organised Pokemon GO walk in Trafalgar square – a mass quest to catch Pokémon, battle and trade with others around central London, which attracted over four thousand attendees.

Katy Perry Rise Olympics Anthem

Katy Perry’s music video for “Rise”, her new single, is serving as the official anthem for NBC coverage of the 2016 Rio Olympics. Filmed in Utah, the Katy Perry Rise music video shows the performer struggling with a pink parachute, at first in an abandoned warehouse, then in the open spaces of Snow Canyon State Park and Sand Hollow State Park. “Rise” is the first track to be released in anticipation of Katy Perry’s fifth album. Fans are able to enter a contest to win a flag made from Katy’s parachute by streaming the song on Spotify, online at katyperry.com/StreamRiseToWin

Katy Perry Rise Olympics anthem music video

Katy Perry talks about her hopes for the song:

“I know that together we can rise above the fear – in our country, and around the world. I can’t think of a better example than the Olympic athletes, as they gather in Rio with their strength and fearlessness, to remind us how we ALL can come together, with the resolve to be the best we can be. I hope this song can inspire us to heal, unite, and rise together. I am honoured that NBC Olympics has chosen to use it as an anthem before and during the Rio Games.”

Katy Perry Rise Lyrics

I won’t just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can’t write my story
I’m beyond the archetype

I won’t just conform
No matter how you shake my core
‘Cause my roots they run deep, oh

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I’ll fight it, I’ll fight it
I will transform

When, when the fire’s at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They’re whispering, “You’re out of time”
But still I rise

This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
Don’t be surprised
I will still rise

I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos
So I call on my angels
They say

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed

‘Cause when, when the fire’s at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They’re whispering, “You’re out of time”
But still I rise

This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
Don’t be surprised
I will still rise

Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You know it, you know it
Still rise
Just fight it, just fight it
Don’t be surprised
I will still rise

World’s Biggest Asshole for Donate Life

Donate Life America, an organ donation advocacy charity in the USA, is encouraging millennial men to become organ donors through “The World’s Biggest Asshole”, a humorous commercial starring obnoxious character Coleman F Sweeney. This low-life guy makes a point of looking out for himself and abusing others, acting in ways that ruin the lives around him. He gives small kids cigarettes, steals laundry and is mean to animals, children and people with disabilities. The short film’s twist comes with Sweeney’s death in his diner. The waitress discovers on his license that for some reason he’s signed up as an organ donor. We go on to see the positive impact this decision has on the lives on deserving people. “Even an asshole can save a life”.

The World's Biggest Asshole mural associated with Donate Life commercial

The World’s Biggest Asshole campaign was launched by The Martin Agency with a wake for Coleman F Sweeney at The Broadberry, a music and special events venue in Richmond, Virginia. Duncan Robertson painted a mural on the outside wall of The Broadberry featuring The World’s Biggest Asshole in a pink dressing gown he’d stolen from the laundry.

The strategy behind the campaign is to reframe a conversation most people want to ignore in order to motivate people to sign up to become an organ donor. Donate Life has seen a drop in millennials signing the paperwork to agree to be an organ donor in recent years. According to the organization, 120,000 men, women & children are awaiting organ donation in the U.S. right now. The campaign is designed to act as a wakeup call that will reinforce how easy saving a life can be, while pointing out that almost anyone can do it — even a total jerk.

“I think everyone knew it was the right way to talk to this group. The realization was that while I might not agree with the language in this, I’m not the target and therefore I can get over it,” said Wade Alger, creative director at The Martin Agency

The Martin Agency first got involved with Donate Life through managing director, account management, Chris Mumford. Mumford developed a personal relationship with the organization after his brother passed in 2008 after suffering a massive heart attack.

“After a few months on an artificial heart, he received a heart transplant. Unfortunately, he died unexpectedly shortly after his transplant. But the prospects of a transplant gave my brother and all of us hope … and ultimately allowed us an extra six months with him. We are forever grateful for the opportunity we were given by his donor,” Mumford said.

Ubisoft has worked with Buzzman and Productman to launch Nosulus Rift, a smell-based virtual reality mask designed to promote South Park: The Fractured But Whole game.

The Nosulus Rift campaign, online at nosulusrift.com, includes a web movie and set of 3 interviews with the producer of the game, the nose and the designer. The Nosulus Rift is being road tested at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, and will be taken to other gaming events in the lead up to the game’s official release on December 6, 2016.

Canal Plus Commentator Goal Never Ends

French TV channel Canal Plus is promoting its sports offering over 15 channels with “Commentator”, a commercial featuring an over-excited broadcaster. His play-by-play commentary on a soccer match reaches a climax with his scream, “Gooooooaaaallll!”. The scream continues long after the game finishes, at home with his family, in the public toilets, in the swimming pool, on the dentist’s chair, at the supermarket, and even in while performing in a karaoke bar. The Canal Plus Commentator ad finishes with the tagline, “Sur CANAL, le sport ne s’arête jamais” (On Canal, the sports never stops). The campaign was

Pokemon Go Home Posters Appear

A team of creatives has launched a guerrilla poster campaign in the UK using the #PokemonGoHome theme to raise support for EU citizens in the wake of the UK’s Brexit vote. The Pokemon Go Home posters across London present a disturbing scenario in which Pokemon characters from the Pokemon Go game are soon to be deported. Readers are invited to follow up their concern at pokemon-go-home.com and sign a petition to the UK government. Copywriter David Felton came up with the idea while talking to a Portugese art director who confessed that he is “genuinely worried and concerned about this future post-Brexit.” Felton connected with graphic designer and web developer Steve Sinyard on @OneMinuteBriefs, and brought in creative director Evan Brown from Los Angeles.

“Okay, you got us. Here’s the truth. The government aren’t sending your Pokemon away. But for 590,000 EU Nationals in the UK, it isn’t looking so good. Following Britain’s decision to leave the EU, more than half a million people won’t meet the residency requirements needed to stay if Article 50 is triggered next year. We decided to make this campaign to draw attention to the uncertainty surrounding the fate of EU Nationals in the UK, who may lose their right to live and work here. Imagine being here right now, but knowing you might be thrown out in the future. Imagine knowing you might be parted from your job, family and friends. For many in the UK, that’s a worrying reality they wake up to every day. It’s time for our government to end the uncertainty. Sign the petition to guarantee EU Nationals a right to remain in the UK and show that people are just as important as Pokemon. Thank you.”

The Pokemon Go Home Petition

“EU citizens who study or work and pay taxes in the UK are a fundamental part of society. The UK would not be able to function without the taxes paid in by the EU immigrants. Their rights should also not be decreased if they’ve been paying in for years.”

Overthinking


A short video about having too many thoughts. The subject I chose, over thinking, is something most people deal with at some degree. We tend to twist thoughts around our head until they lose any connection with reality, making billions of connections every minute and soaking up information like sponges. I wanted to share what is going on inside my head by creating a world, that like my thoughts – is sometimes restless and makes no sense. Music by Tomer Mor: https://soundcloud.com/leescratchterry
