And then, for the first time in 15 years, I bought Heinz tomato soup.

I received this brief several weeks ago and thought I'd give it a little shot. I watched all Axe commercials and saw all the scenarios were based around the fact that, if you wear this smell, women will show signs of mental instability and behaviour that would warrant immediate institution. Apparently this is what guys love though, which bodes well for me. The brief was based around obsession, so I thought of things that women are generally go crazy over, ie. fashion, diets, bad boys, babies (none of which I can relate to). I thought of replacing those obsessions with the 'Axe effect'. Example 1: Shoe sale - no women to be seen  Example 2: Pop star concert - no women to be seen The captions next to the Axe bottle are blank. I was thinking of something like ' Where are the women?

I saw this ad in the cinema and never would have thought it was for Levi's jeans. I found the cinematography mesmerising and the words inspirational. It was more effective on the big screen but none the less, still moving. This is a great campaign that Levi's are taking global by "beefing up their human capital"and re-branding themselves. They're supporting non-profit organisations and pioneers, working with water.org to deliver sanitation and clean water to people living in poverty. It's about working together to make our lives better for ourselves, taking control of our future.
