Droga5 New York created this “No Bollocks 2013” campaign for New Castle Brown Ale, which includes this spot comprised entirely of still photo images intended to cut through the clutter of expensive, elaborate, overly produced ads typical of the beer category. Stills show in tongue-in-cheek fashion the evolution of handcrafting a brew.

Merman Serves As Hybrid Agency-Production Co. For Blink Home Security Campaign
Blink, a provider of affordable smart home security, has launched an advertising campaign which features a light-hearted slice-of-life portrait of Maggie, a busy, cost-conscious mother who values more--more time with her loved ones, and more bang for her buck. The campaign was created by Merman and directed by Eva Michon.
Acting as creative agency and production company, Merman tapped into its deep well of creative talent, including screenwriters and copywriters as well as directors and producers to ideate for the brand. Blink was presented with a half-dozen creative ideas for the campaign. The winning concept was created by Merman’s managing partner Kira Carstensen and in-house creative director, Jack Taylor Cox.
“We loved working with the incredible creative team at Blink,” said Carstensen. “They took our ideas and made them better. I am a huge fan of the product, and now the people who represent it. We hope this is the first of many projects with them--showing consumers how they can get more with Blink.”
