Heroes Return: The National Lottery – good causes ad

This is power.

I’ve always been a fan of the National Lottery ads created by AMV BBDO with the campaigns such as What would you do, And the EuroMillions Tuesday work stands out. As they have the ability to tickle one’s inner child imagination teasing with endless opportunities that awaits your wildest fantasies, if you win of course. Surely this drives ticket sales as people chase their dreams. Everyone imagines and desire’s winning millions and the National Lottery play that card very well by prompting dreams but now they have gone full circle. Turning a new leaf and in the process expanding the feel good factor with National Lottery and its reputation for its corporate responsibility. Have a look at this little beast:

 

How emotionally moving is that? Absolutely power..

People will be happy to know that the money they spend on lottery tickets doesn’t just go to the winners but also a staggering £30m a week gets split up between over 370,000 good causes’ projects.  If you want to find out how they have helped in your area then click here.

Now that’s how you play the emotional card.

Well done AMV and Camelot Group.

Brilliant work!

You are what you drink

How many times has this happened to you?

 

Coffee is not just coffee and I’m not a coffee geek, ok maybe just a quarter geek as I do own a French press at home but that’s as far as it goes. However for all those people out there who are not coffee geeks still stand in front of the menu confused as they try to understand the hieroglyphics up on the wall. So instead of ordering just a simple filter of cuppa tea, here is a little something that might help you in the future. Simply remember your favourite 3 and use those in the future in order being spared to feel like that guy. You can thank me later.

PS: Did you know that Starbucks is currently giving everyone in London a free Latte this morning? If you’re quick you still might make it, as the freebees finish at midday.

Easy now not all at once.
