Weeds Teaser

Weeds Teaser

Press kit in order to promote the premiere of the TV series Weeds, where bouquets of hemp plants (without the THC) in the shape of a rolled joint were sent out like a flower gram to press and media agencies.

Handy little campaign!

MTV Switch

MTV Switch

Switch is MTV Networks International’s Global Climate Change Campaign. To make people aware of the rising sea level because of global warming, they confronted people in an amusing way with a serious message using a floating board in the Amsterdam canals. This board seemed to be held by a submerged man with just his hands sticking out of the water.

The copy said: “Global Warming. What’s all the fuss about? Find out for yourself www.mtvswitch.org.” The floating board walked around the canals with a remote control.

I can see this very cool idea getting a lot of attention. Can’t be that expensive either which is music to a client’s ears! Can you think of any other ways this could be cleverly activated? Maybe using real people and having a floatingĀ table and chairsĀ to highlight a new fish restaurant? What do you think?
