Ballet In Advertising

Two brands using ballet in their advertising to demonstrate product benefits. And while the spots are beautiful they come infused with a touch of irony, given how difficult it is actually to market ballet as an art form to the masses. 

The Levi’s ad reminds me of the the must-see documentary Pina a tribute to choreographer Pina Bausch directed by Wim Wenders.

AUSTRALIAN RELEASE DATE: 18 August 2011 OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.hopscotchfilms.com.au/films/coming-soon/pina-movie/ PINA is a feature-length dance film in 3D with the ensemble of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, featuring the unique and inspiring art of the great German choreographer Pina Bausch, who died in the summer of 2009.

“Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.” Pina Bausch

Berliner Philharmoniker: Instruments From The Inside

/

These posters have been making the internet rounds all week. They are spectacular, one of those instances where I find myself thinking I wish I dreamt them up when I was marketing orchestras. They remind me of a passage from Claudia Shear’s Blown Sideways Through Life, where she recounts being a model for a painter and feeling like she was “part of the art, as it happened.” 

The campaign was created for the chamber orchestra of the Berliner Philharmoniker (check out their Digital Concert Hall, another great idea). 
CLIENT: Berliner Philharmoniker
AGENCY: Scholz & Friends Berlin
PHOTOGRAPHER: Mierswa Kluska
ART DIRECTOR: Björn Ewers
COPYWRITER: Mona Sibai
CDs: Michael Winterhagen/ Nils Busche
