A word from Echo: Coming from someone who wet the bed until about the age of 10 or 11… I’ve got to tell ya I APPRECIATE THESE ADS! LOL, oh my goodness, I remember dreaming going to the bathroom and as soon as I was done I’d wake up disappointed, embarrassed and mentally destroyed.
When I was a kid there weren’t any nighty diapers or wet-pants, I had to be quick to clean or destroy the evidence! LOL, my Mum would wonder where all the sheets went!
What a great ad campaign!

Here’s a word from the company: Bed wetting can be an embarrassing experience for young kids. Now with Huggies Good-Nites, kids can live out their nighttime bathroom dreams worry-free.
The approach: Existing ads for safety pants show bed wetting in a negative light. Blocking accidents becomes the main message. Children must not feel scolded while learning to stop nighttime accidents. Our campaign shows going to the bathroom positively, encouraging parents to alter their stereotypes.

Craftsman Tools, in its first social media foray, has a new interactive video campaign featuring “stress tests” on power drills, hammers and other hardware – they will be producing new videos periodically throughout the year.
Craftsman Tools has launched its microsite campaign Craftsman Labs with the following featured videos. Each clip shows a grueling test of the tools’ strength under extreme duress, and Craftsman is seeking fans of the videos to suggest what other tool stunts they would like to see put through similar trials. The campaign may also integrated into a Facebook platform where fans can submit their own video ideas for the Craftsman Labs team, and selected tests will be filmed and added to the site.

Wow, if you have a sense of humor and aren’t easily offended you’ll enjoy this tasteless bit of satire. If you’re not laughing on the other hand, I’ll try to find a good knock, knock joke for you and post it later.

This is one of the most creative advertising ideas I’ve ever seen… and it’s REAL!
Many beer brands speak to men in a shared tone showing to them that they really understand their needs. Yet, up to know, all intentions where express by a message without and action plan. Andes, the leader beer in the Andina Region of Argentina, presents: Andes Beer: Teletransporter – a revolutionary invention capable of doing something almost impossible: men can now go to a bar and share an Andes beer with friends without having any problems with their girlfriends. Andes Teletransporter Booths have been installed at the main bars of Mendoza, Argentina. Einstein mentioned that teletransportation was impossible since objects could not conduct faster than light. Einstein was wrong!
Legal Notice: Teleportation does not cause any physical non psychological damages. It helps and encourages long lasting couples and friendships. To lie is a sin, teleport is not!

I definitely have to give Coway an A+ for pushing the boundaries of tasteful advertising! I don’t know about you but when I first saw this ad I knew immediately what they where implying and it made me smile. As far as advertising goes… this works very well I don’t think I’ll ever forget the brand Coway now.
