RING MY BELL BY ALDO SHOES (Dionne)

An Israeli creative firm Smoyz creative launched a campaign to promote Montreal based shoe brand Aldo. It’s ‘Ring my bell’ campaign placed a sign with a bell on a busy street in Tel Aviv. The sign instructed passersby to take a photo of their footwear, upload it onto Instagram and tag the photo #ALDO along with the person’s shoe size, then ring the bell. After several minutes a box would appear with a pair of Aldo shoes for the person. The campaign created 798,385 interactions with the brand, 500 photos were uploaded and the bell was rung 457 times. I’m sure this campaign would prove successful if repeated in a street near me.

ICE BOMBING? (Aoibhínn) 

Picture this, a frozen swimming pool and a man in his trunks. Can you guess what happens next? Jackass enthusiasts everywhere will love this video and I have to agree it’s had me in stitches all morning. This scene certainly wouldn’t look out of place on the American cult TV show. In an attempt to promote his new band, this confident showman gets to his knees and admires his own muscular physique before taking the leap and attempting to cannonball into a pool of ice. Needless to say it was an epic fail, but makes a rather hilarious video clip.
