I was pleasantly surprised this evening to get a free dinner delivered to my door. It was a dinner box with was mashed potatoes, chicken and a bottle of chilled Stella Artois. I figured they sponsored the dinner. The message on the box invited me to watch “Recyclage De Luxe” show on Youtube.
While enjoying my free dinner, I went to Youtube to check what’s it all about. So I found the videos and watched them. I saw aliens friending with dogs, fast fingers making origami, aluminum fingers pushing buttons and hedgehogs raising hedge funds. Well, you know, Stella’s style – enjoyed them (warning: in some places really WTF):

Nike has, with a little help from Wieden + Kennedy, London, done it again. No brand should really be in a top list consecutively, if it was not for the tremendous talent and effort that is being put into the majority of Nike’s campaigns. Nike launched a football tournament in UK and called for participants in major UK cities. This video is an ad for the events, and is filmed by various CCTV cameras to add to the authenticity of normal people playing street football. The video was originally done for TV, but has spread on the internet as well.
