more Honda homage

Further to the Honda banana homage (below) another spoof of one of our Honda ads has just turned up. This was the original – our ad from 2006 featuring a choir imitating the sounds of a choir imitating a Honda Civic.

Further to the Honda banana homage (below) another spoof of one of our Honda ads has just turned up. This was the original – our ad from 2006 featuring a choir imitating the sounds of a choir imitating a Honda Civic.

Here's a new spoof of that ad, for Eddie Stobart, which is actually not bad.

But this is far from the first spoof of this spot. Here are a couple more…

two people, two Nokia E7s and a campervan

To support the recent launch of the Nokia E7 in the UK and build upon the current ‘Success Is What You Make It’  campaign we’ve set Carrie and Clare from the Scottish craft store ‘Made In the Shade’ a challenge to demonstrate the phone’s on-the-go capabilities.

Armed only with their E7s and their van ‘Winston’, the girls have just seven days to open a shop. Not just any shop. A shop full of British-made things from all over the UK. And all those things need to be sourced, in person, by driving from the Outer Hebrides, all the way down to the shop location in London in 7 days.

No easy task.

We’ll be posting films like this one below each day on Facebook to see what they’ve been up to. You can follow the girls’ progress on twitter and also read their daily blog. The TV ad is on air from 23rd May.

 

 

The shop is open for one day only next Sunday from 10am – 7pm just round the corner from WK London at Dray Walk Gallery, E1. You’ll be able to buy any of the unique and eccentric crafts and delicacies unearthed this week on the road.
