What would you do to win a new Blackberry 10 SmartPhone? Model Deborah St. Pierre said she would do a BlackBerry Bikini Photo Shoot, and she did. The contest was run by The Blackberry authority site Crackberry.Com and here are the details from the site...

"To win a free BlackBerry 10 phone from CrackBerry.com, Deborah St. Pierre told us she would "do a BlackBerry-inspired bikini photoshoot". That immediately caught our attention. Longtime readers of CrackBerry will of course remember this Bikini + BlackBerry post that went into the CracKBerry history books as an all-time favorite. And even longer-time readers of CrackBerry will remember the epic-ness of our last What Would You Do contest, where we saw scantily clad pudding wrestling action take place in Times Square. Always wanting to up the CrackBerry ante, we declared Deborah a winner based on her entry submission and followed up with her to see how she wanted to execute on it.

Debbie let us know she's a BIG FAN of both BlackBerry and CrackBerry. And when we found out she lived in Miami, we put her in touch with our good friends at Capture Fashion to work with her to pull together the photo shoot. Check out the video above and the spread of photos below.

With BlackBerry 10 just around the corner, we didn't want to put any old BlackBerry Smartphones into the photos, so instead Deborah opted for BlackBerry, the fruit. But Deborah promised if everybody keeps the comments civil and positive and she gets lots of likes on the Youtube video, that she'll follow up with another BlackBerry photo shoot — next time with her BlackBerry Z10 in hand".

If you enjoyed the clip and photo shoot, show the lovely Deborah St. Pierre some love via her Twitter. Be sure to tell her Sylvia and Great-Ads sent ya over.

Acura, for the first time, will run a commercial during the Super Bowl championship game to capitalize on communicating with the more than 100 million viewers. Designed to strengthen Acura brand awareness and leverage Acura's announcement in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show earlier this month, a 60-second commercial featuring the iconic talent of Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno coupled with the highly anticipated NSX supercar concept will air during the third quarter.

"Acura has a specific plan in place across all communication channels to build off of the first round of product news announced at the North American International Auto Show. The response to the ILX, RDX and NSX supercar concept has been extremely positive," said Susie Rossick, Acura Brand Manager. "Our Super Bowl strategies are simple—build upon the buzz created in Detroit and leverage the excitement for the future return of the legendary NSX to the Acura lineup."

This commercial, "Transactions," depicts the over-the-top antics of two actual top car collectors, Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno, in an unrelenting bid to be the first in line to take delivery on the first Acura NSX.

"The goal is to present a commercial that not only clearly positions the NSX as the ultimate 'must have' sports car, but does it in a way that is memorable, entertaining and aligned with Acura's brand position," said John Hage, EVP/executive creative director at rp&, Acura's advertising agency of record.

The Super Bowl campaign includes a pre-game release of a 1-minute 50-second—extended version of "Transactions," PR initiatives, search, seeding and paid media placements. The commercial will be featured in Acura dealerships across the country. In addition, as the preferred vehicle of W Hotels, the commercial will be shown in-car on the MDX's rear-entertainment DVD screen during guest rides.

"Transactions" will help to build upon the anticipation coalescing for the next chapter of Acura, which commences this spring with the launch of the all-new RDX crossover sport utility vehicle and the introduction of the all-new ILX luxury compact sedan.

The College for Creative Studies “Talk to your kids about art school” campaign plays up the duality of this relationship by mimicking anti-drug PSA's. Young artists are addicted, they spend hours and hours perfecting their craft. They can't help themselves. Their parents are generally less enthused with their child's artistic aspirations, wishing they'd go to school to become a doctor or a lawyer instead.

Blackberry announced today they will, for the first time have a 30-second ad buy for the Super Bowl this year. The timing could not be any better for RIM as Thorsten Heins officially announced today in a press release, that the BlackBerry 10 Launch event is to be held on January 30, 2013. The event will happen simultaneously in multiple countries around the world, where details of the smartphones and their availability will be announced.

"A Super Bowl commercial is a great opportunity to show the redesigned, re-engineered and reinvented BlackBerry to tens of millions of consumers on the largest advertising stage of the year," RIM CMO Frank Boulben said in a statement.

The commercial to run during the Big Game is the work of creative ad agency AMV BBDO, London and we are looking forward to seeing it.

Whether you look to the 80-foot-long mosaic at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, the giant white wording ‘You’ve Changed’ on the side of a building near Queen Street West and Ossington Avenue or the Greenwood Village Mural in the Beach, Lilie Zendel said the first year of StreetARToronto (StART) accomplished exactly what the program set out to do.

“(StART) was created last year as part of the graffiti management program to support and celebrate permitted graffiti and street art,” said Zendel, manager of the City of Toronto program.

StART is administered by the Public Realm Section of the Transportation Services Division at the City of Toronto and aims to develop, support, promote and increase awareness of street art and its role in adding beauty and character to neighbourhoods across Toronto.

StART hosted a meeting at MOCCA in West Queen West on Jan. 21 to wrap up their inaugural year and share details of this year’s program.
In 2012 StART partnered with 20 Toronto organizations to create 48 murals across the city, on walls, fences, underpasses, benches and pavement, particularly in areas that are targeted by graffiti.

The creation of these murals assisted in cleaning up 1,300 pieces of ‘tagging’. More than 60 artists were involved in the projects.

The challenges that program participants faced in the first year, Zendel said, was finding the funds to match StART grants, which is a criteria of the program, finding walls to use in the city, and managing complaints from building owners, artists, non-profits and Business Improvement Areas.

The other big issue is maintaining the murals and preventing vandalism. “We certainly want to expand as much as we can in a geographic sense,” Zendel said. In 2013 StART will continue with its Partnership Program and its Diversion Program, which involves at-risk youth. Although StART aims to support artists it does not fund artists directly, but funds projects through organizations.
Applications for murals to be painted this year are due by April 15 and they can be made through the StART website at http://www.toronto.ca/streetart/
Applications have to be made by incorporated non-profit or charitable organizations and must operate in Toronto.

“I personally would like to see some really large-scale projects this year,” Zendel said, adding the maximum funding for the partnership program has been increased to $30,000.

The StART contribution cannot exceed 70 per cent of the cost of the mural and of that remaining 30 per cent the partner organization must raise at least 15 per cent in cash.

By the spring of 2013 Zendel said they hope to launch a user-friendly map, which gives the details of the 585 murals and street art pieces found in Toronto. The map would include information about the artists and their inspiration for the work.

Can MiO Fit new spokescelebrity Tracy Morgan say *#&^%$* on TV? We're not sure, but we know you can change water into a sports drink with electrolytes and zero calories. All you need is MiO Fit. Change is Coming 2.03.13 and with that we have yet another teaser spot for the 2013 Super Bowl Ad Extravaganza.

PR Newswire Press: "With countless millions watching the big game, we couldn't think of a better and more relevant way to introduce MiO Fit," said Doug Weekes, VP Refreshment Beverages for Kraft. "This new line of MiO introduces a world of change for sports drinks and we are so proud to debut it with our MiO Fit "Anthem" commercial during Super Bowl XLVII."

The comical spot features actor and comedian Tracy Morgan who takes a humorous look at all the other things that we have changed in America, beyond just sports drinks. The advertisement was created by TAXI New York and directed by Martin Granger.

The MiO Fit commercial will kick off an integrated marketing effort to introduce the new product to America. The campaign will include strong digital and social media, public relations, sampling, and consumer incentives starting the week before the game and extending through March. The brand will also engage social media fans in a conversation about "change" by asking what other changes they would like to see and why.

Egg Films director Terence Neale’s latest ad for Chicken Licken Slyders will leave audiences asking, “Please, sir, can I have some more?” The concept for this commercial, devised by Net#work BBDO, involves a gloomy orphanage, a cheery couple, and a delightful twist — think M. Night Shyamalalalalalaalan.

Terence jumped at the chance to work on Chicken Licken, with its trademark off-centre approach to humor, again: “Chicken Licken is an amazing brand to work on,” says Terence, “You can feel the trust between the agency and the client. It creates an environment where everyone is working to produce the best possible outcome.”

His knack for directing performance shone through in all of the carefully chosen cast. He shared a special insight on working with children: “I think kids get intimidated when they feel like they are surrounded by people smarter than them, but thanks to the creatives and me, that wasn't a problem at all.”

Olivia Munn wears nothing but her birthday suit in a new PETA anti-fur print ads and the giant billboard in LA.

We know come Super Bowl XLVII Budweiser is going to run they're big Black Crown ad, so to start building some hype they released two teaser spots...and to be sure we get a really good look the first spot is simply a woman holding two bottles of Black Crown walking towards us, and to be sure we got a really good look from all angles they gave us the second spot where the same woman is seen from behind.

Come on Bud, you could have given us a little than this.

Everyone's welcome, even straight people. Yup, this is a new print ad campaign from ad agency R&R Partners for Las Vegas Convention And Visitors Authority.

LGBT advertising is nothing new. It’s been here for decades. For too long, brands have told us they’re “gay-friendly,” shown us a gratuitous same-sex couple, slapped a rainbow logo on it and called it a day. Las Vegas decided to do something different. To imagine a world where – every once in a while – we have to remind the heteros that Las Vegas still belongs to them, too…so long as they’re willing to share.

2014 Kia Sorento Space Babies Super Bowl commercial teaser...The space babies of planet Babylandia are suited up to embark on an epic journey nine months in the making. So fasten your diapers this adventure will blow your mind into another dimension.

An extended version of "Space Babies" will be viewable at YouTube.com/Kia leading up to the Super Bowl Sunday. Kia returns as a Super Bowl advertiser for the fourth straight time. After becoming the first advertiser to debut a Super Bowl commercial in movie theaters before the big game last year, "Space Babies" will air on more than 33,000 screens nationwide beginning on February 1 as part of ScreenVision and National CineMedia's FirstLook. "It has an answer for everything" is a fully integrated marketing campaign incorporating TV, cinema, digital, print, social media and in-dealership components.

Created by creative agency David&Goliath, and directed by Jake Scott the KIA spot is scheduled to air in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLVII.

Budweiser has launched its first-ever Twitter account – www.twitter.com/budweiser. The account went live last night.

The iconic brand marked the occasion with another "first" involving the Budweiser Clydesdales – tweeting the first photo of a member of the elite "Budweiser Clydesdales Class of 2013," a beautiful 150-pound baby born the morning of Jan. 16. It was the brand's first-ever Tweet.

Using #clydesdales, Budweiser also is asking Twitter followers of @Budweiser and Facebook friends to help name the young equine star, who will be seen by an estimated 110+ million viewers next Sunday during Super Bowl XLVII.

"This newest member of the Budweiser Clydesdale family was 7 days old on the day this part of the Super Bowl commercial was filmed," said Jeff Knapper, general manager of Clydesdale operations. "A star was truly born on Jan. 16."
More than 30 baby Clydesdales are expected to be born this year at the 300-acre Warm Springs Ranch, the state-of-the-art breeding facility for the Budweiser Clydesdales in Boonville, Mo.

On Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 3, the Budweiser Clydesdales will appear in a new 60-second spot, "Brotherhood," which chronicles the bond a Clydesdale foal shares with his trainer. Partially shot at Warm Springs Ranch, "Brotherhood" will take the Clydesdales advertising into new territory by providing a new level of access to their early years.

This is the Clydesdale's 23rd Super Bowl spot since first appearing in a big game spot in 1986.

In addition to the baby foal born this month that will appear in the spot, other young Clydesdales, including an 8-month-old and a 2-year-old, will be featured, in addition to a full hitch of eight adult horses.
Budweiser's Twitter channel debuts after the social media platform introduced age verification, allowing the beer to restrict its tweets to users 21 and older.

2013 A MILESTONE YEAR
The Clydesdales celebrate a major milestone in 2013 – the 80th anniversary of their association with Anheuser-Busch. The Budweiser Clydesdales have been an integral part of Anheuser-Busch's heritage since April 7, 1933, and their strength and majesty symbolize Budweiser quality as well as integrity, achievement, success, perfection and team spirit. They were formally introduced to celebrate the repeal of Prohibition for beer.
"The symbol has become synonymous with Budweiser — the quality that goes into the beer, as well as the time, energy and passion we put into taking care of the horses," Knapper said.

How is the baby Clydesdale featured in the commercial doing? Both mother, 7-year-old Darla, and baby are doing well, reports John Soto, supervisor of the breeding operations at Warm Springs Ranch in mid-Missouri.
"We have had two foals born so far this year and they're both doing very well," Soto said.

"We take great pride in each and every one of our horses, and Warm Springs Ranch is a great home," Knapper said. "The Budweiser Clydesdales are the envy of the equine world. We treat them like royalty, and they are among the best-cared-for animals in the world."

Anheuser-Busch has about 200 Clydesdales in its herd, with about half of them at Warm Springs Ranch in Cooper County.

Watch Hyundai Canada's official 2013 Big Game Day Commercial, titled "GASPOCALYPSE" starring the Sonata Hybrid, four 'weekend warriors', and a very generous Hyundai driver.

Last year, the Super Bowl was watched by over 111 million people worldwide with over 16 million Canadians viewing some or all of it. And, every year, the commercials generate almost as much interest as the game itself. Unlike the their American counterparts, very few Canadian companies create original ads to take advantage of these huge numbers.

Hyundai Auto Canada Corp (HACC) has done just that for a second year a row with a 60-second epic called “Gaspocalypse”. The commercial tips its hat to the post-apocalyptic film genre and punctuates the fuel efficiency of the Sonata Hybrid.

“We wanted to create a spot that truly measured up on the Super Bowl stage,” said Gary Westgate, Senior VP and ECD at Innocean Canada. “And the production company pulled out all the stops to make sure it felt like you’re watching a blockbuster movie.”

Adds John Vernile, Vice President Marketing, Hyundai Auto Canada Corp, “We are thrilled to be one of the few Canadian companies committed to creating a unique commercial for the 2013 Super Bowl. People across North America tune-in to the game as much for the commercials as for the action on the field, so there is no bigger stage than the Super Bowl to make a statement about our hybrid’s world class performance.”
