Automotive ad of the day. Jeep Cherokee Detour | Behind the scenes




Go behind the scenes of the new Jeep Cherokee commercial to see how a downtown city street was transformed into a raging, mountain river.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich.Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
  • The Jeep® brand suspends traffic on downtown Vancouver city street and takes unsuspecting drivers on a surprise detour in uniquely own-able approach to highlight versatility and real-world capabilities of the Jeep Cherokee
  • New :30 "River in the City" commercial can be seen on www.jeep.com/cherokeedetour, which includes a :60 version of the spot in addition to special behind-the-scenes footage that includes the making of the campaign, photos, interviews and other exclusive content
The Jeep® brand suspended traffic on an unassuming city street in Vancouver, amazing city-dwellers by taking unsuspecting drivers by surprise by converting an entire block into a forest with a wild mountain river, brought to life with snowbanks, boulders, rocks, sand/gravel, moss, live fir trees and two wolves. The unique approach was accomplished to introduce drivers to the versatility and real-world capability of the Jeep Cherokee.
The :30 "River in the City" commercial, which debuted on television this past weekend (January 4), unfolds as unsuspecting drivers were recruited to test the Jeep Cherokee by following directions from its navigation system throughout downtown Vancouver. Following the detour, the directions soon led them to the "river in the city" and the drivers were actually a part of the real-life demonstration of the vast, wide range of capabilities of the Jeep Cherokee. The commercial is further brought to life with captivating images of the drivers in the Jeep Cherokee confronting boulders and gravel amidst a raging river, all set against downtown parking meters and people moving down escalators in city buildings as the work day unfolds.
"We wanted to bring to life the real world capabilities of the Jeep Cherokee in a unique approach," said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer, FCA - Global. "So how do you do that? By taking what is essentially an experiential event where unsuspecting drivers are being filmed navigating a busy metropolitan street that has been turned into a fully functional mountain river and let them experience the capabilities of the Jeep Cherokee for themselves. Our 'River in the City' takes an untraditional approach to create a powerful statement that the Jeep Cherokee can handle anything a city throws at it."
The :30 "River in the City" ad can be viewed at www.jeep.com/cherokeedetour, which features a :60 version of the spot and includes three additional product commercials (below). The site also features an exclusive behind-the-scenes video and photo gallery that explores the making of the "River in the City" commercial, as well as interviews with the drivers taken on the unexpected detour. 
The "River in the City" shoot took place from June 14 - June 18, 2014. The set was built and produced three days prior to the filming of the commercial. It took place on 400 Granville Street in downtown Vancouver, Canada. Materials included:
  • 1,000,000 pounds of boulders, rocks and sand (2,500 sand bags), used throughout the set to break up water flow and give surface disturbance
  • Water (250,000 gallons) was pumped onto the street with water pumps hidden in the alley and placed in key spots. (The water was recycled using a closed water system that pumped water from the end of the street back to the top. The water was eventually discharged down the street, into Vancouver Harbor.)
  • 400,000 pounds of snow - the snowbank was made of snow blanket and fish-ice
  • Logs, sticks, moss, and 80 fir/hemlock trees lined/covered the street. (The trees were boxed and returned to the nursery and boulders, gravel and other materials were also repurposed.)
  • Two wolves were on set. (The domesticated, mixed-breed wolves were made available from the Animal Insight for Film and TV. A representative from the American Humane Association was on set to attest that the wolves were treated humanely and procedures were followed. Observers were able to take pictures with the animals.)
In addition to "River in the City," three additional spots focusing on product features of the Jeep Cherokee are currently airing on television and available online:
  • "Front and Rear Park Assist" - in this :30 spot on the Vancouver "river" street, Jeep proclaims "We've got your front and your back" -- focusing on front and rear park assist technology of the Jeep Cherokee.
  • "Forward Collision Warning" - :30 spot highlighting the Jeep Cherokee's important passive safety system feature to assist by warning the driver prior to a potential collision.
  • "Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist" - synchronistic orchestration shows simultaneous parallel and perpendicular park assist technology of the Jeep Cherokee.

Ad of the day. Mercedes-Benz TV: A Fistful of Wolves. #MBFWB


The new Fashion Creatives film features the C111 and Justin O’Shea, buying director at online fashion store mytheresa.com, as well as the Chipperfield brothers and fashion editors Veronika Heilbrunner and Julia Knolle. On the cusp of the Fall/Winter 2015 edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, Justin finds himself caught up in the clichés of fashion advertising. It's serious and dramatic: he runs in slow motion, talks about his emotions and the hype that surrounds him. Good to know that he can always rely on Veronika and his circle of friends to bring him back to the real world.

PIONEERS // SALINI IMPREGILO from CRIC on Vimeo.


"Time will tell what a pioneer is made of.
Which path they take,
the mountains they climb,
the oceans they tame and depths they explore.
Once, they were the odd one out,
the introvert, the dreamer.
The one who managed to see and do things beyond others’ understanding.
Now is their moment.
The swot, the pernickety, the bashful, the bold, the eggheads, the dreamers;
it’s time for them to step forward. The world needs them.
Salini Impregilo is looking for new pioneers.
Join us."

Brand's nightmare of the day. A Cheesy Love Story - The Ad Doritos Don't Want You to See


"You wouldn’t love it if you knew what it was made from.
Tell Doritos and PepsiCo to adopt a responsible palm oil policy, and save our rainforests:http://smarturl.it/Doritos

Some Doritos flavours contain palm oil. Doritos' parent company, PepsiCo, buys 427,500 tonnes of palm oil every year. Palm oil production destroys rainforest and threatens species to the point of extinction.

This deforestation results in the death of over 1,000 Sumatran orangutans every year. This is the ad that Doritos don't want you to see in 'Doritos Crash The Superbowl 2015.'

Find out how to save a choking baby with #TheChokeables – the new advert from St John Ambulance.

Pen lid, marble, princess and jelly baby have had enough of being a hazard and they are here to show you the correct technique to save a choking baby. Read more about the campaign and view resources for parents at http://www.sja.org.uk/sja/support-us/... 

Parents told us that over 40% of them have witnessed their own baby choke. And when we quizzed them on the first aid, we found that over four-fifths don’t know what to do in this situation. Starring the voices of David Walliams, David Mitchell, Johnny Vegas and Sir John Hurt, this heart-warming video shows how easy it is to save a choking baby’s life. Please share it far and wide, so that as many people as possible know some first aid.
