Gillette Light It Up

On Friday, July 27, just as the world finished watching the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, Procter & Gamble and Gillette staged an unforgettable event to wish Team USA a great start to The Olympics. The event was a spectacle of light and water featuring 60-foot holograms of Team USA athletes Tyson Gay launching off the blocks and Ryan Lochte diving into historic Boston Harbor. Set to the music of M83 "Steve McQueen", the event officially launched Gillette's global 'Get Started' campaign.

Part science, part nature and part digital art, Gillette created a series of projected light displays on buildings throughout Boston culminating in a massive water show. The event used half a dozen projectors to display video images of Ryan Lochte and Tyson Gay in action on two massive screens of particulate water vapor sprayed above the surface of the water adjacent to Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art.

The best athletes in the world have gathered in London, at the lighting of the flame they are now and forever Olympians.

A World with No Math

Great vid to add to our 'Effective Campaigning' files.  From SavetheChildrenUSA, these celeb comedians introduce you to a dark mathless world...






That's right. Say it ain't so, but this kind of world already exists for many children living in poor countries. Save the Children found that kids were puzzled by math even after several years of schooling. So we put our heads together and came up with a solution: Numeracy Boost. And you, of course.

Michael Boatman, Julie Bowen, Simon Helberg and John Oliver are all backing our Crowdrise campaign to launch the math program in Bangladesh and Malawi this year. Can we "count" you in, too? By boosting kids' math skills, we set them up for success in school and life.

Canadian Paralympic Committee: Running (Unstoppable)

Paraplegic runner Alister McQueen stars in a Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) commercial called ‘Unstoppable’. Alister runs along the track through everything he overcame after losing one of his legs in a car accident. Although McQueen lost his leg at 9 months old due to a birth defect, the commercial’s story is a common one, losing a leg in a car wreck and needing an amputation. The entire commercial took one shot, watch ‘The Making Of’ to see how they made ‘Unstoppable’.

There were many who were not sure what they were seeing when walking around in Bryant Park in New York. A woman walking around wearing headgear made out of 4 iPads shaped into a cube projecting video playback of each side of her head was a site to behold.  Many just sat there with their mouths open, until a guy finally approaches the girl and touches her ‘face’.

This viral launches the Cosmo For Guys magazine app.
