Marketer: GE Brand: GE Corporate Title: "Model Miners" Agency: BBDO, New York Sixteen tons and whaddaya get? Well, in the case of GE's latest global branding effort, a bevy of real dirty fashion models sashaying down a coal mine shaft. And what's the point of this incongruous visual? The voice-over emphasizes that 'because of GE emissions-reducing technology, harnessing the power of coal is looking more beautiful every day.' Marketer: Pepsi-Cola Co. Brand: Pepsi-Cola Title: "Jedi Mind Trick" Agency: BBDO, New York You can work up quite a thirst when you've spent the last eight centuries training Jedi knights and railing against the evils of the Dark Side. So, it's no surprise that Yoda uses his mind-bending powers in an effort to abscond with someone else's Pepsi. Even Jedi masters have their breaking point. Marketer: Bacardi Brand: Barcardi Silver Title: "Times Two" Agency: David & Goliath, Los Angeles Not unlike Emily Post with severe attitude, the new Bacardi Survival Manual helps young drinkers extricate themselves from awkward social situations. For instance, you and another woman arrive at a party wearing the same red dress -- what to do? How about rip your dress apart and refashion those rags into different-looking outfit? Then, toast your brilliance with a sip of the new watermelon-flavored Bacardi Silver. Marketer: Kraft Foods Brand: Maxwell House Coffee Title: "Ladder 59" Agency: Ogilvy & Mather Released on the heels of Kraft's 12% price hike for Maxwell House coffee is this homey reality commercial set in a Norman Rockwellesque firehouse. Shot in home-movie style, we see the locals drinking their favorite brew during a typical day of fire engine shining, riding and camaraderie. Marketer: Unilever Brand: Axe Title: "Impressions" Agency: Bartle Bogle Hegarty The latest spot in Axe's sexual advertising offensive for its teenage-targeted deodorant is about having sex on the kitchen table, store changing stalls, locker rooms, cars and airline lavatories. The story is told with location impressions on each woman's back. Marketer: GMC Brand: Envoy Denali Title: "Poetry in Motion" Agency: Carol H Williams, Oakland, Calif. You ridin' wid it? Mos Def assures us that he certainly is in this spot for GMC's Envoy Denali. This is the latest work from Carol H Williams, one of the country's largest multicultural ad agencies. Marketer: Toyota Brand: Scion Title: "What Moves You xB" Agency: Attik, San Francisco Dramatically illustrating the concept that Toyota's boxmobiles can be customized for young buyers in any number of colorful ways, this spot features a Scion morphing from abandoned vehicle to a slick street machine. Marketer: Propel Brand: Propel Title: "Alter Ego" Agency: Element 79 Partners Hardly bigger than cockroaches, those pesky Propel droplet people are back at it again, leaping, bounding and fighting across tabletops, bus aisles and sidewalks.
