Agencies are being invited to pitch for McCain Foods’ advertising account as part of a £20m review by the frozen chip giant. The Scarborough-based company is reported to be inviting agencies to pitch through the London office of Roth Observatory International.
In a statement this morning to Campaign, McCain said it was holding a review “in light of the changing nature of its needs from an agency partner.”
Current incumbent BMB will also be repitching for the account it has held since 2006. The agency’s co-founder Trevor Beattie was instrumental in winning the account when he was chairman of TBWA, and then won the business again after he launched BMB.
Director/video artist Justin Anderson is known for his sexy and often quite eerie fashion films, like "Fleurs du Mal" for Agent Provocateur, which featured scantily-clad S&M stalkers preying on a a lonely lady. His latest erotic move is "Jumper," an artsy, sensual film for British designer Jonathan Saunders, created out of U.K. production company/creative boutique Bold. The protagonists are a stylish upper-middle-class family of four, whose lives are thrown slightly off-kilter by a mysterious man who just stands there, completely nude, as they go about their dinner. It becames apparent throughout that the stranger has seductive sway over every one of them, instilling in each feelings of lust, guilt and more.

Who feels like getting naked and dancing through the strees of Los Angeles? Wait, don't answer until you've watched this.
In a charming (and essentially safe for work) video promo for its upcoming reality series Dating Naked, VH1 and agency Mistress filmed a diverse mix of people whirling and waltzing around a small crowd of onlookers in L.A. to the tune of "I'm Just Wild About Harry."
The result is a one-take clip free of the kind of sleazy sexualization we usually see in nudity-based ads. It feels instead like a warm-hearted celebration of dropping inhibitions (and trousers) in the name of self-expression.
It's also timed to correspond with National Nude Day, which I'm told is today. (Sorry, France, here in America the Bastille is a distant second to bare buttocks.)
Hopefully that tone will carry through to the Dating Naked series, in which participants go through the typical courtship rituals with strangers—except, as you could guess, they're nude.
