hmmm??: Benneton ad-UNHATE

New Old Sean

Two years ago I did a post on Louis Vuitton bringing in new old faces for their ad campaigns. I was flicking through the March '09 issue of Vanity Fair and saw this ad.



I like the tag line they put at the bottom "There are journeys that turn into legends".

Absolut Vodka

The choice of drink for me and the absoluts back in 05. Those were the days. Couple rounds of taki (till the bottle finished mind you lol) and we'd be off hittin' the clubs.

But besides that the Absolut ads are definitely one of the stand out ads as far as alcohol advertising campaigns go. Who could miss the distinctive shape of the bottle coupled with "Absolut" and another word at the bottom of their ads. The campaign began in 1980 and is the longest running ad campaign ever.

Absolut Vodka released Absolut New Orleans, a mango and black peppered flavour back in August. This is a charity initiative with 100% of the profits going go to the Gulf Coast-people affected by hurricane Katrina.

The New faces of Louis Vuitton

When it comes to promoting their luggage, luxury brand Louis Vuitton has looked beyond the usual suspects of starlets and young models to be the face of their new fall/winter ad campaign. Instead they've chosen former Soviet Union president, Mikhail Gorbachev and for the female counterpart cast in these more upscale ads, Louis Vuitton has chosen 64 year old French actress, Catherine Deneuve. The ads were shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.
