Hyena Editorial’s Keith Salmon has edited a new spot for Chevrolet that tells the tale of two American icons through the prism of a single football play. Conceived by Campbell-Ewald and directed by MJZ’s Phil Joanou, the 60-second commercial features football imagery spanning different eras and different levels of play, from kids playing in an alley in the ‘30s to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees celebrating. The entire montage, has been set against the John Mellencamp anthem Our Country, and put together in such a way as to form a single narrative—a Hail Mary pass.
Said Campbell-Ewald senior vice president/executive producer Joe Knisely: "Salmon and Joanou were natural choices for the project as each has a lot of experience in working with football related material. Salmon’s credits include the Oliver Stone film Any Given Sunday as well as a well known series of football spots for Nike featuring comedian Jerry Stiller. Joanou directed the 2006 film Gridiron Gang."

GUEST JUDGE: TIM PIPER, CD, OGILVY TORONTO, CANADA

 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   CANADA    October 18, 2007 16:29 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
https://bestadsontv.com/news/upload/TIM-PIPER-CANNES.jpgThis week's guest judge is Tim Piper, associate creative director at Ogilvy Toronto. Originally from Adelaide, South Australia, Tim won the Cannes Film Grand Prix this year for Dove Evolution (pictured here on stage in white shirt and jeans) and wrote/directed the latest provocative Dove spot ‘Onslaught’, which tallied half a million hits on YouTube days after release, and was featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show and CNN. (And of course on BestAds. In 2007 he kicked two goals for the Toronto Central Blues.

BEST PRINT
I viewed the print last night. This morning I only remembered a Skunk as a pet for an air freshener. For that reason it wins my vote. A couple confused me, so I hope I didn’t miss something big.

BEST TV
Best for me was Gali Aligator Nice one. Didn't feel like an ad. I loved the insight for Volvo (Showroom) because it reminded me of some lonely ad execs. But I found the execution a tad commercial (super and talent). I also liked Wrecking Hammer, but it suffers from a cliché tough VO dude. Thought Post was fun for a bit. NYC Ride seemed like a smart angle. The anger management spoof might be tired, but I still enjoyed it. Nice bunch though I thought.

BEST OUTDOOR
Everything here craps on my outdoor. So obviously I liked them all.
My two equal favourites: Squeaky Cleanand SuperspeedThey blow me away actually. One is so, so smart. The other is just very, very witty. Funny even. Brilliant.
