Wednesday Creative Shots, Episode 3
This week we’re taking a look at journeys through space, personal transformation, food, and agreeing that craft matters. While much was made about the time and effort that went into the spots created for the NFL’s big game, craftsmanship should always matter. True craftsmanship isn’t a part-time gig. Whether you’re creating high end audio speakers or a 30 second spot, striving for quality should always be the goal.
Going To Mars
Today’s Mars travelers are in school right now. To give them a feel for the experience, Lockheed Martin created this school bus experience.
Sausage Dome
Via Adweek
Combining product with fans and employees should be a proven recipe for success. And it is in this series from Drogba5. While some reality series rely on barely-celebrities and manufactured stars, this piece for Johnsonville utilizes those that know their product the best—their real advocates—in a competition to make a game day-appropriate recipe using Johnsonville sausages.
The Campaign Highlights:
- three competitors, one winner per episode
- winner gets a year’s supply of sausages
- winning recipe entered into Johnsonville’s “Big Game Binder” recipe book
- recipe used in future Johnsonville print and digital campaigns
- judges are “The Sausage Six,” six Johnsonville employees
Craft Matters
Bang & Olufsen make audio and visual components. Scratch that, Bang & Olufsen craft exquisite masterpieces that happen to also be extremely technically functional. They are on the opposite of the race to the bottom path—bigger, faster, cheaper—that most technology companies are taking. From their website: “Since 1925, Bang & Olufsen has been synonymous with the art of acoustic perfection. To this day, our craftsmen still calibrate and tune every loudspeaker model by hand.”
This video series celebrates the craftsmanship involved in the processes required to achieve their end result.
