Nice work for VW, Jordan, Google and more

Lots of great work to share with you this week. First up is a new VW Star Wars themed spot, which has been flying round the web. Sit back and relax while we journey to The Bark Side…

The ad is a trailer for the brand’s forthcoming Super Bowl spot, which will air during the game on February 5. This might all seem like a lot of fuss for an ad launch, but after the huge success of VW’s The Force spot last year, the car brand clearly knows the power of mixing Star Wars and the Super Bowl and is keen to get as much hype out of the occasion as possible. With over three million views on YouTube in just two days, it is a strategy that is clearly working. Agency: Deutsch LA. CCO: Mark Hunter. Group creative directors: Michael Kadin, Matt Ian, Jerome Austria. Creatives: Kate O’Connor, Donna Ko. Director: Keith Schofield. Production company: Caviar.

Wieden + Kennedy New York has created this new online campaign for Jordan. Made to launch Chris Paul’s newest shoe, the CP3.V, the site “tells the story of how Chris’ quickness causes chaos both on and off the basketball court” and includes a film of a basketball game where a number of unexpected events take place. Viewers are able to view the film’s action from anywhere on a nearly 180-degree arc, and then zoom in on certain ‘hot spots’ to get more info on the weirder scenes featured. Visit the site here. Creative directors: Andy Ferguson, Brandon Mugar. Interactive art director: Tomiwa Alabi. Director: Paul Hunter. Production company: Pretty Bird.
