Some agency self-promo videos

Came across this little gem by Fold7, a London agency who've gotten into the Christmas spirit with this little self-promo vid. The title is 'Advertising With Bells On', and you'll soon find out why...


I love the build up at the beginning that gets you guessing about who exactly they're talking about, and also the transition from support and enthusiasm for Santa to showcasing his less endearing traits as creative director in an ad agency - almost getting caught looking at a sexy Mrs Claus, having the two interns sit on his knee, wanting to put Christmas tinsel and bells on everything. The video is hilarious and of course perfect for this time of year, and hence is a perfect means to persuade us of Fold7's capabilities as an agency.

Another of my recent favourite agency vids is this one by John St, a Toronto-based agency who share how they're keeping on top of industry trends:


Hilarious! So relevant, light-hearted and effective in demonstrating their creative capacities. I thought I'd share these videos as they really are fun to watch and it's so interesting to gain an insight into the culture of the agency. Then I came across this by Sapient Nitro...


Still hilarious - but in a very different way, and probably not in the way that the agency intended. It's like the producers of Rebecca Black's "Friday" got together with those of Band Aid. Maybe it was a team building day that was never meant to reach the public spectrum. That might be the reason it was taken down from the Facebook page. Or then again it could be because it's atrocious..
