  • Ad Guy Creates NHL Boycott "Just Drop It" Viral Campaign

    Ad Guy Creates NHL Boycott "Just Drop It" Viral Campaign

    Hockey fan and commercial director (in that order), Steve Chase, is one of the three hockey fanatics behind the trending hockey boycott viral "Just Drop It." Frustrated by the recent lockout and the threat of more games on the chopping block, Chase along with fellow hockey buddies Christian Lalonde (a former pro player) and Mike Devlin (Creative Director/EVP of DraftFCB in NY), came up with the concept of making a simple video asking fans to boycott the NHL.

    What was once just an idea between friends is becoming an overnight international success. The grass-root campaign called "Just Drop It," asks hockey fans to take a pledge and boycott one NHL game for every one game the league takes away after Dec 21. The boycott goes beyond game attendance and urges fans not to purchase any merchandising or watch televised games.

    Media in the US and Canada have already shown their support by posting the video on
    their web pages and airing interviews with Chase. Hockey is in Chase's blood. An avid player and supporter of the minor league teams as well, Chase directed a campaign for hockey team Allen Americans. See the all the Allen Americans spots here.

    Team owner and NHL superstar Steve Duchesne approached Chase to create and direct the work. The resultant commercials masterfully underline how hockey players possess a passion for the game like no other. Recently quoted as "welcoming the challenge of creating ads in the digital culture," Chase wasted no time and let his passion and conscience drive him.

    Just Drop It's Statement: Visit their Facebook Fan page to join the cause. [link]
    The NHL and the players union have once again insulted the very people who pay their salaries. We the fans have the power to make them listen by taking the Just Drop It pledge. For every game they cancel after December 21st, we will boycott an equal number of games. They cancel 10, we boycott 10. No tickets, no TV, no merchandise. If you want to be heard go to our Facebook page and "like" us to pledge. You can also post your own pledge video. Make them JUST DROP IT!

  • Volvo Trucks — "The Hook" Sacrifices Their President for a PR Stunt

    Volvo Trucks — "The Hook" Sacrifices Their President for a PR Stunt

    It’s been a long time coming, but today Volvo Trucks is back with ‘The Hook’ – the first in a series of videos to come from Volvo Trucks. This campaign is the continuation of amazing video-stunts from Volvo Trucks, as they once again put their trucks to never-before-seen-tests. Be On is proud to present this teaser video, and soon we will be bringing you more great content from Volvo Trucks.

    Imagine a 15 tonne Volvo Truck dangling from its own towing hook, 20 meters above the water in Gothenburg harbor, Sweden. Then imagine standing on top of it.

    This is the hook of the most recent video stunt from Volvo Trucks, staring the company President, Claes Nilsson as stuntman. Normally, heads of major companies stay behind their desks but not this one. Volvo Trucks wanted to put their newest construction truck to the ultimate test. And what better way to test the truck’s robustness, than to have the truck hoisted more than 20 meters up in the air and then stand on the front panel?

    “Well, I have to admit I had butterflies in my tummy before the event. I’m no mountain-climber and I don’t like heights. But I’d promised to do the stunt so I couldn’t very well back out,” says Claes Nilsson.

    This intense feature was shot from a helicopter and everything had been prepared in advance down to the tiniest detail.

    “The idea behind the film – called ‘The Hook’ – is that we wanted to show that the truck’s front towing hook is dimensioned to handle far greater stresses than those to which it is normally subjected. It’s all about spotlighting the strength and quality of our construction trucks. And you can’t do that more clearly than by hoisting the 15 tonne truck up into the air via its own towing hook,” explains Claes Nilsson.

    #TheHook is the first in a series of new, stunning and daring video stunts that will showcase the performance of Volvo Trucks’ models in ways never seen before. And Volvo Trucks knows how to make stunning stunts.

    The viral video fans of the world will be reminded of ‘The Ballerina Stunt’ which was a spectacular viral success last year. In the film, record-holding highliner Faith Dickey battled to cross the line between two trucks driving at full speed.

    Claes Nilsson reveals that there is much more to come from Volvo Trucks. He assures that the stunts coming this autumn are not any run-of-the-mill tests. These tests will show things that nobody in the truck world has ever done before! So stay tuned, you don’t want to miss this out.

According to the head of the state, Indians have all bases that with suspicion to concern the authorities: "To you said, that your earths, your religion, your culture, your languages — that all it does not belong to you".

    A new type of computing. Surface....

    Surface, Microsoft's first promo video created by 22 year old Caleb Slain, a relative unknown in the ad world, might just have Microsoft snubbing their major ad agency partners: Crispin Porter & Bogusky, Deutsch or Razorfish, again in the future after the success of the video (6 million+ views to date).

    Caleb Slain said, "I've had no direct contact within the agencies at all, ours was originally supposed to be a product showcase by myself and Keith Rivers." Rivers produced the video.

    "We just wanted to make the most awesome, badass video possible, so that when we gave it back to Microsoft they would either love it or we would never work for them again."
