Fentimans - The Original Adult Soft Drink TV Advert

Fentimans’ first TV ad introduces a myriad of sordid Edwardian-era characters, reflecting the brand’s early-20th-century origins. The independent agency Sell! Sell! created the campaign, in which a series of well-to-do men and women fail to repress their lusty desires around bottles of Fentimans’ soft drinks. There is a duchess who flashes an ankle to her butler while he serves her drink, a cross-dressing judge and a policeman who likes to be tied to a bed and have Fentimans poured into his mouth by women in bloomers. The work was directed by Fern Berresford through Short Films. Post-production was handled by Rushes with grade by Simona Harrison and VFX by Jonny Hicks.

Texas Tourism "Texas Cities"

Lucky Post And Agency Slingshot Highlight “Texas Cities” In New Tourism Spot

Agency Slingshot tapped Lucky Post to help capture the spirit of the state for Texas Tourism in a new spot that recently launched nationwide. The journey takes viewers to Texas’ cities, forged by trailblazers and free thinkers who seized every moment. The spot encourages travelers to do the same, highlighting just a few of the many cultural offerings, unique experiences, and compelling sights available in the state’s distinctive metropolises.

Lucky Post Editor Sai Selvarajan edited together new vantage points on iconic imagery, along with moments large and small that embody the highlighted locations throughout the state. He worked closely with Lucky Post designer Seth Olson to layer images and weave illustrative moments that simultaneously pay homage to the past and capture the vitality of the present.

“Working closely with the agency creative team, we wanted to convey a sense of style and grace in a piece that was meant to be both epic and beautiful,” says editor Sai Selvarajan.

“By layering imagery we were able to present a lot of information in a short period of time,” adds Seth Olson, “There were subtle treatments throughout that evoked mood and tone without taking away from the natural energy and inherent beauty of the real life places and people.”

The previous award-winning Texas Tourism campaign via Slingshot with creative editorial by Lucky Post highlighted the great outdoors, music and the western experience. The spots are a call to discover more experiences at TravelTex.com, which features travel ideas for any age and any interest. In addition to the website, the Travel Texas official mobile travel guide app is a passport to a one-of-a-kind trip through Texas. Whatever you love, it lives in Texas.

Ace: Helpful is Beautiful - The Paint Studio

It includes television, radio, print, social and digital and was jointly developed by Ace and Valspar with FCB Chicago and is reminiscent of a beauty advertisement, rather than a paint/hardware advertisement. The campaign unveils The Paint Studio, which was designed around the insight that consumers seek a more style-inspired and personal paint shopping experience rather than a traditional trip to the hardware store, offering exclusive collections from C+K, Valspar Optimus and Valspar Aspire.
