  • Finlandia Vodka is definitely gunning to be the best motivational brand in the industry through its newest video ad. A new 2.5 minute video titled as “1,000 Years of Less Ordinary Wisdom” features stories of people who have done the unthinkable, the unorthodox when the world was against them. The video features offbeat heroes like a drag wrestler, volcanic scientist, reindeer racer and the world’s 3rd strongest man. As for the title, the 1,000 years refers to the sum of the ages of the people in the commercial. They have strategically inserted the same concept into their Facebook page and the official website. The attempt can be identified as a corporate re-branding.

  • Sprite China launched a new campaign titled “Release your summer in 100 ways” targeted at the younger consumers of Sprite in China.

In order to motivate these consumers to go out and enjoy their summer, Sprite came up with a list of 100 ways to spend the summer. Which is highlighted in this campaign;
