Egg Films' Jason Fialkov directed Rise, the new Skyy Vodka commercial conceived by Young & Rubicam's chief creative officer Graham Lang and creative director Nkanyezi Masango.
Taking a music video approach, Jason created a seductive rooftop party full of surreal luster.
To escape the rain, the penthouse just rises above the clouds, thanks to some seamless CGI work from BlackGinger. The commercial is driven by an original composition from Pulse Music New York, who’ve worked with the likes of Mary J. Blige and Britney Spears. It’s shot by Peter Tischauser, styled by Elaine Jeacocks, and edited by Matthew Swanepoel at Priest.

The new Guinness Beer advert is simply a story about a clock that challenges the ordinary, that's right a clock.
'Clock' is the new Guinness advert released in January 2013, that celebrates the attitude shared by Guinness and its drinkers — that you get more out of life by putting more in. It ad is set in Bohemia in the 1890s and tells the story of a town's clock that doesn't settle for the ordinary; the clock starts to control time to enhance the townspeople's days; accelerating time to make a task go faster, reversing time to avoid an unfortunate event and pausing time to allow a precious moment to last longer.

Martell XO releases a new ad campaign / web film entitled "We All Have Wings." The new global campaign pays tribute to Martell's unique heritage, using its emblem, the swift.
Legend has it that in 1715, a swift led Jean Martell to Cognac, where, he founded what would become the oldest of the great Houses of Cognac.
In this film the swift becomes a symbol of one's potential to achieve great things — just like Jean Martell nearly 300 years ago.
Martell XO invites us all to spread our wings and take flight to rise above.
The music is soundtrack preformed by the members of the London Symphony Orchestra and mixed by Oscar-winning sound engineer Etienne Colin.

Except bacon". and of course "Drafts are best suited for fantasy football. Order a Canadian Club Whisky."

Heineken introduces new limited edition star bottles, the first time they've redesigned it's packaging since 1946.
The new "Star Bottle" design (above) is for U.S. consumers and scheduled to be on shelves nation wide by March of next year. The James Bond Skyfall limited editions bottles are below.
"The newly designed Star Bottle allows Heineken to take a huge step forward in the globalization of the brand, which started with our 'Open Your World' marketing campaign and our more recent draught program," says Colin Westcott-Pitt, VP of Marketing, Heineken USA. "The Heineken bottle has gone through a number of progressions but has always maintained its core iconography that has become a symbol of upscale premium beer, and this philosophy will remain the same with the new Star Bottle design."
"The Star Bottle will be available in 12 oz. and 22 oz. sizes and features a taller, thinner shape giving it a more modern and premium look. The bottle also features an embossed thumb groove that improves grip and encourages people to hold the bottle at a lower point, keeping the beer colder. While the bottle is changing, consumers can still expect the same smooth, full-bodied beer with a complexity that balances fruity notes with mild bitterness that has been synonymous with Heineken for more than 100 years."
What do you think about the new bottles?

What started out as an April Fools joke (video above) is now a reality for Colorado's Wynkoop Brewing Company. The beer maker has officially begun producing beer made will bull testicles; Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout aka Bull Balls Beer.
Bull Testicle Flavored Beer, Anyone?
The company says that Rocky Mountain Oysters are arguably Colorado’s most popular local dish. They are sliced by hand and then roasted before being added to the beer, which is also made with Colorado-grown base malts, roasted barley, seven specialty malts, Styrian Goldings hops, and sea salt.
Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout has a deep brown color and is said to feel slightly viscous, with equally deep flavors of chocolate syrup, Kahlua, and espresso, along with a palpable level of alcohol and a savory umami-like note. It finishes dry and roasted with a fast-fading hop bite. Head brewer Andy Brown said:
We’ve been making ballsy beer for the past few years and this is great proof of that.
Guinness presents "The Cloud" in their newest TV commercial. In the ad, a cloud breaks free from the petty squabbles of all other sky-dwellers and embarks upon a journey of self-discovery. Our hero travels over the seas, through power lines, inside cramped alleyways between buildings, and even inside a parking garage, cementing its individuality along the way.
"The more he saw, the more he did," a narrator says of the apparently male mass of vapor as it hovers around the city like a parade float, thus exemplifying the brand’s tagline, "Made of More."
