Every niche has its heroes. For me, Michael Roulier & Philippe L'homme are that. The directing duo, operating under Foodfilm, mostly through Where is Brian ? / QUAD GROUP, have redefined how food looks in Europe and the rest of the world.Their big claim to fame was the early campaign for Marks and Spencer, Adventures in Food, in which London positioned the brand as a 'food hall for all'. The films display the passion, creativity and expertise of a specialist, within the footprint of a supermarket. The films shook the food film world by being creative, playful, effortless and delicious at the same time. Michael and Philippe are rarely seen in the press or being all PR-y about their work.Last week, this ad for Cathay Pacific came out. Over 15 years later, they stay to their signature of clean, elegant and design-led images. VCCP put the board on my desk - veeeeery briefly. It's not the first time I saw a gorgeous project find its way in to their skilful hands, and it shall not be the last time. Great work!And what a bold message for an airline. It's not easy making good food in an airplane. In language this construct is called a 'pars pro toto'; a small thing to represent the bigger thing. If the food gets so much love, surely all other aspects of a flight will get as much love.#food #fooddesign #foodfilm #foodp*rn #culinaryidentity #foodadvertising #foodmarketing

[who said product advertising should be boring?! Amazing food or drinks ad Chuck Studios had absolutely nothing to do with]The HEINEKEN Company's Dos Equis is the brand that loves to speak in hyperboles. They've been giving the stage to 'The Most Interesting Man In The World' for long time. They now find great excuses to talk about their beers. In this film, they explain how a Dos Equis cap is made of 'the luckiest piece of metal in the world', privileged with sealing off delicious Mexican beer. To then proceed seamlessly into a welcoming committee of humans. There's an other one talking about the ice that keeps the beer cool, which “could have been a thankless bed for an all-you-can-eat salad bar”. (searching for a link, anyone??) And one celebrating the victory of a salt rim: https://lnkd.in/eUmwYUkyWith a clear strategy and great copy in hand, the ad uses emotion, comedy and drama to make a simple beer worth a laugh. Product ads done right! The world needs more of this.agency: BBDO Worldwidedirected by: anyone? Can't find the credits ☹️

[Who said product advertising needs to be boring?! Not Chuck Studios, or me.]What would a Buffalo Ranch Chicken Strip Sandwich sound like? The sandwich is a Whataburger fan favourite, and it's back on the menu. The ad is making the ingredients sing and become 'A Beautiful Mess-terpiece'. agency: McGarrah Jesseedirector: Guy De La Palme via IMPOSTER

I couldn't have possibly written a better intro than Richard Draycott of The Drum did:"If you’re back in the office and struggling to remember much in the blur of Cannes activity, fear not. Here are some key takeaways from some of this year’s attendees (that you could pass off as your own)."Thanks Richard and Drum people for including me here. Because there isn't a space where product and brand are more similar in consumer's minds, than in food.🛎️ follow for more news from the world of food & drinks marketing and branding

Zonder makers geen werk. Afgelopen week tijdens het Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity werd het overduidelijk dat productiemaatschappijen lastig zichtbaar zijn geworden in het advertising ecosysteem. Daar zijn allemaal uitstekende verklaringen voor, maar misschien moeten we focussen op waar we als gemeenschap enige invloed op hebben, namelijk hoe we het zelf doen. Verdiepen we ons genoeg in de belangen van de ultieme belanghebbenden, de merken? Vaak horen we dat we duur zijn. Is er een betere manier om uit te leggen hoe complex en riskant ons vak kan zijn? En om minder inwisselbaar te worden?Om elkaar daar bij te helpen heeft VIA Nederland nu een Taskforce Craft. Op 11 juli houden we de eerste kennis-sessie over reputatie, met experts uit de wereld van positionering, marketing, PR en journalistiek. Volledige line-up volgt snel, maar in ieder geval zul je Kerrie Finch en Lucas Boon van Adformatie horen uitleggen hoe die game werkt.Deze sessie is bedoeld voor leadership teams van productiemaatschappijen in advertising in Nederland. Denk aan film, foto, web, audio, muziek, animatie, et cetera. Dus hij is voor jullie Studio Studio Holy Fools 100% PINK RABBIT Bonkers CZAR - Amsterdam Wefilm Creative Agency EYEFORCE - AMS | CPT | LIS suikerdepôt SuperEasterfeather Better Call Sol Scoville Hazazah FAT FRED DPPLR Drbarefoot bv Annoman 25fps HOBBY Signum 10/10 SIZZER Wolfstreet Revolver Glassworks Amp.Amsterdam // The Sonic Branding Company ronnie® Lab³ Brave Media EYEFORCE - AMS | CPT | LIS Soundsright Popcorn Stories Audentity QV Creative Vigics Big Shots en zo velen die ik gemist heb ;-)Aanmeldlink: https://lnkd.in/e3X9T96SWe hopen je dan te zien!

[amazing food campaign Chuck Studios had absolutely nothing to do with]Mid funnel product ads don't have to be boring. Even though they often are. Kraft Heinz brand OSCAR MAYER FOODS hacks traditional food advertising to underline an impressive 12 hour smoke to flavour their Thick Cut Bacon. Take a look, it's clever stuff by Johannes Leonardo, playing on food and non food category codes.
