Two new spots from Venables Bell & Partners for Clear 4G Internet humorously show the downsides of data limits and long term contracts by comparing them to ridiculous real-life situations. In this spot, a magician from a kid's birthday party is still hanging around because they had to sign a two year contract, while in Shirts, a guy gives a business presentation shirtless because he's 'reached his shirt limit'.
Givenchy's latest spot out of DDB Luxe Paris for its Very Irresistible Perfume features a sultry Liv Tyler singing INXS' Need You Tonight. It was directedby Johan Renck and made in collaboration with David Stiek, who formed the band TV On The Radio.
Twitter has done many things but we think this may be the first time a random tweet has inspired a new cereal brand. UK rocker Tim Burgess (frontman of The Charlatans) tweeted jokingly that he would love to launch a cereal called 'Totes Amazeballs' (slang for totally amazing), pretending Kellogg was interested.
Hobby Animation, a new division of Swedish production company Hobby Film, is rallying European creatives to help "Free the Swedish King." In partnership with the Swedish Republican Association, it put this call out to creatives for ideas to submit their ideas for an ad to basically, abolish the Swedish Monarchy--along with their pick of a Hobby animator to direct. Deadline for submissions is February 29. They can be written or drawn and must be submitted to info@hobbyanimation.com. More info can be found here. The prize is Hobby Animation's production of the idea, an audience of 1.5 million and apparently, a shiny trophy.

Croatian brand consultancy Brandoctor and design agency Bruketa & Zinic OM created the branding for Stina, a wine from the Adriatic island of Brac, which is known for its white stone and its artists (it's the birthplace of many famous Croatian poets, novelists, sculptors or painters).

Hamburg-based creative and graduate of the Miami Ad School Christian Baur conceived this sneaky way to get people involved in animal protection and support pan-European animal charity ETN. Baur created a football that howls when it's kicked or moved and placed it on a Hamburg street. Passersby would either kick the ball or just stop to pick it up, where they'd see the message "Stop killing dogs for Euro 2012. Thousands of dogs and cats get killed, burned or poisoned because of the Euro 2012. Please help us to stop this massacre." The ball carries a phone number for SMS donations and a QR code that can be scanned for more information.
