Here’s a wrap of the Grand Prix and gold winners in the Cannes 2014 film category.

Tell Nielsen the truth about your scandalous agency lifestyle. Nielsen even has a drinkable offering in return for your time (‘you” being advertising folk) and your secrets. There are ten cases of wine (six bottles in each) to be won for those who fill in a survey to help Nielsen ‘understand agency life’. Everyone who completes it will receive a short report from Nielsen about the findings.

T-Mobile has joined with DDB Tribal to introduce us to Spanish entrepreneur Jose and his ‘wi-fi’ dogs, who assist holiday makers in searching for wi-fi. The dogs are trained to sniff out frequencies from the nearest router and can be rented by the hour. Or we could just go with T-mobile’s travel plan.

The ubiquity of Che Guevara’s face on the bodies of people across the world stands as testament to the fact that there’s something inexplicably appealing about being associated with a revolutionary cause. Add to this the fact that the spirit of Guy Fawkes has been resurrected as the face of the online anti-totalitarian movement, and it becomes quite evident that people still believe some battles are worth fighting for. Using this revolutionary drive as a premise, Replay Jeans has released a new spot via 180Amsterdam that places its consumers as the revolutionaries fighting against the faceless totalitarian regime bent on destroying the earth.

When Jono Sorenson left advertising agency Carat in March to become a sales director at Diverse Media, he signed up there for only three days a week – because the rest of his time he now devotes to muesli.
He and fellow muesli-fan/fiancé Lucy Leckie have launched The Muesli Hub – “a platform to build your own muesli online and have it delivered to your door”. They want to inspire people to re-prioritise breakfast.

In an effort to dissuade potential smokers from picking up that first cigarette, the Health Promotion Agency has launched a new campaign via GSL Promotus that gives a tongue-in-cheek depiction of exactly how ugly a relationship with cancer sticks can be.

With all the inane questions, like farming and ‘brain teasers’ posted on social media, many brands seem to think their customers are absolute morons. But as ASB’s well-awarded Like Loan showed, social media can occasionally serve a useful commercial purpose, with all the likes the app received giving the bank the details of almost 18,000 potential customers and delivering a solid business result. That campaign was a bespoke app, but a similar philosophy applies to Kiwi social auction company BuddyBid, which is currently raising some cash to take the idea overseas.

A new OK Go music video is generally cause for great celebration, given their consistent record of producing amazing visual treats. Strangely, no-one seems to remember their music, perhaps because their videos overshadow the songs. But the band has embraced that and accepted the challenge to continually raise the bar, and it’s done it again with its latest optical illusion-heavy clip.

Goodbye Pork Pie is to Mini in New Zealand as The Italian Job is to Mini in Europe. So, to drum up some interest in the new Mini Hatch in this part of the world, Mini, DDB and director Matt Murphy—the son of the original film’s director Geoff Murphy—set out on a mission to remake a classic scene from the movie. And the final clip premiered this week.

Those who enjoy seeing grown men roll on the ground in faux-agony are undoubtedly loving the Football World Cup. And Durex, a big believer in the joys of sexual honesty, has jumped on the football bandwagon and taken aim at those who fake it.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Facebook paid only $23,000 of tax over the course of 2013 in New Zealand. But, rather than further contributing to the media revile already available elsewhere, we decided to look at the positives by giving a rundown of all the awesome things Government could purchase with the funds attained from the organisation.
