BBH London & Kronenbourg 1664 slow Mötorhead all the way down

It’s probably just me, but Kronenbourg 1664 is not a beer I associate with a slow, laid back pace. That’s mainly because most of my consumption of this particular brand of beer has been done in the insanity that is the Cannes Lions, where it flows more freely than water at every madhouse party.

BBH London puts the “yo” in Yeo Valley with rapping farmers

When BBH London recently launched a two minute spot for Yeo Valley Organic that features rhyme spitting farmers and pimped out tractors, the first thing I thought was “the big. bad Bessie with the M-I-L-K”, a spot from about five years ago for the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.

It’s “more than a feeling” for BBH London’s Barclaycard roller coaster

Ever since I was young, I had this dream. A modest dream, but a dream nonetheless.

All that’s old is new again: BBH’s “Levi’s Modern Vintage” campaign

Levi Strauss & Co. has been around since 1853, and while the brand’s popularity may rise and fall with the trends, it’s still a major US cultural icon in many areas of the world.

BBH tells the tale of “The Man Who Walked Around The World”

Entitled “The Man Who Walked Around The World”, the online movie features acclaimed Scottish actor Robert Carlyle, regaling the history of Johnnie Walker, the man and the brand.

BBH Mumbai’s first TV spot is lifting them higher

More Bartle Bogle Hegarty news today, as its brand spanking new Mumbai office has launched the agency’s very first TV spot. The 60 second ad is for Rediff.com, one of India’s top web portals, and features a rubber duck with a knack for singing like Jackie Wilson.

“He’s got a real purty mouth, ain’t he?”

In this modern-day salute to the classic film Deliverance, BBH London forgoes the banjoes and replaces them with duelling beatboxers in this TV spot for Mentos Gum.

BBH’s KFC spot not “fresh” enough for Ad Standards Authority

It’s not often that real life takes its cues from satire, but it seems like the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority was reading The Onion before passing judgement on this KFC ad by BHH London.
