Replay is a branded content initiative from the agency that culminates with this weekend's broadcast of a game between the Easton High Red Rovers and the Phillipsburg High State Liners. The two rival teams played on Thanksgiving Day 1993, with the game ending in a tie. On behalf of Gatorade, TBWA/Chiat/Day L.A. offered the original 1993 team members (now in their 30s) the chance to square off again. "The original coaches returned. The '93 cheerleaders returned. Hell, even the band members came back," says TBWA associate creative director Brent Anderson. "We documented the entire experience for 4 months." The one-hour documentary, Replay, will premier this Sunday on Fox Sports Network. "It's the first Replay in a series that Chiat, Gatorade and Fox will create and air next year," says Anderson. ]]> http://www.creativity-online.com/work/gatorade-replay/18040 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500 Muscle Milk: Sexy Pilgrim http://www.creativity-online.com/work/muscle-milk-sexy-pilgrim/18004 Muscle Milk: Sexy Pilgrim Pereira & O'Dell conjures a sexy singing pilgrim and a viral hit for Muscle Milk.

Although the talking mouth gimmick isn't original, this one actually has true utility and perhaps an ounce of believability. Speakers take pictures of their own mouths, select the phrase they want to use and the app combines both to make it seem like they're really speaking the language, in a perfect accent. The app is available in French, German and Arabic and was created to help position Emirates as a leader and innovator in the travel industry. ]]> http://www.creativity-online.com/work/emirates-ilingual/18010 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500 Plane Stupid: Polar Bears http://www.creativity-online.com/work/plane-stupid-polar-bears/18009 Plane Stupid: Polar Bears Not cats and dogs, but polar bears are used illustrate the effect of greenhouse gases on the environment in this spot for Plane Action out of Mother London directed by Daniel Kleinman. ]]> http://www.creativity-online.com/work/plane-stupid-polar-bears/18009 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500 Leeds Counseling: On Your Mind http://www.creativity-online.com/work/leeds-counseling-on-your-mind/18006 Leeds Counseling: On Your Mind McCann Manchester uses Processing-created imagery by Ryan Alexander, aka Scloopy, for this print campaign for Leeds Counseling.
