1 YEAR AGO: Carlsberg launches a new TVC, which has crowd-throbbing
dance scenes but no dialogue. The commercial is deliberately silent, so
that it can be consistent across the region, and appeal to the youth
market in each country.
5 YEARS: Dentsu Young & Rubicam Hong Kong creates a campaign for Yakult
featuring a series of everyday situations, including a game of
stone-paper-scissors, a maths lesson, a father-and-son shopping trip and
a visit from a geomancer.
10 YEARS: Cartier ditches BBDO Hong Kong, which had held its account
since 1987, in favour of Storm Communications, an ad agency set up by
former BBDO director Wilson Chan. The account is valued at between
HK$6 million and $7 million.
