Carlos Lascano of Bent Image Lab directed this mixed-media spot in which a crazed soccer fan dressed in red and white Coca-Cola colors flies a giant football shoe that runs on bottles of Coke and spews out a refreshing exhaust of carbonated bottles in the shape of soccer balls. The bubbles shower the city, transforming its residents into fun loving crazy soccer fans. Agency is Santo with offices in Buenos Aires, London and Milan.

W+K London, Director Fredrik Bond Re-wire The Past With Modern Mischief, Take An Electrifying Ride In The Ford Capri
Ford shared details of its campaign across Europe to cement the relaunch of its legendary Capri nameplate as an electric vehicle, following a provocative and successful unveiling earlier this year.
Developed by Wieden+Kennedy London, the โMischief Rewiredโ campaign initially premiered on U.K. TV screens from Boxing Day (12/26), disrupting modern ad breaks with vintage ads from the Ford Capri archives--rewired with a bolt of modern mischief.

David Colman, creative director at Wieden+Kennedy London, said, โTo relaunch the Capri as a new electric vehicle, we wanted to tap into its iconic past. From its role as the go-to car for stuntmen to its appearances alongside music legends and movie stars, the Capri was a symbol of excitement, individuality, and style. The idea took shape when our creative team, Georgina Brisby and Marcelo Duarte, discovered the archive of legendary vintage Capri ads and suggested โrewiringโ them. With... Read More
