Video: Mr. Happy Man

Exactly the kind of story that really is best told in a short documentary: If he was anywhere else in the world the men in white coats would lock him up and throw away the key. But this is Bermuda, and each weekday morning from 05:00 to 10:00, retired bus driver Johnny Barnes a.k.a. Mr. Happy Man stands in the middle of Crow Lane roundabout and says a cheery “Good Morning!” to Bermuda’s commuters.

Rain or shine he’s always there with his radio, backpack and straw hat – spreading love and providing a glimmer of hope that work won’t be as bad as it normally is.

Filmmaker Matt Morris did a helluva job in producing “Mr. Happy Man” – watch this beautiful documentary above.

Music Video of the Year: M.I.A. – Bad Girls

Check out the amazing visuals for M.I.A.’s new single “Bad Girls”.

The desert drag race party video, directed by my favorite director and friend Romain Gavras, responsible for the world’s best music videos and commercials, was shot in Ouarzazate, Morocco and is probably the hottest SH*T you will watch in a while.

So if you like to see Alfa Romeos, Bimmas and Benzos drifting through the North African desert accompanied by an absolute power tune and dancing Arabs, you should watch M.I.A. “Bad Girls” above via YouTube.

BOOM.

Video: 5 Hours of Adriana Lima by Kia

Probably one of the smartest marketing moves I’ve seen so far – made by car manufacturer Kia.

Why wasting time for a 30 second spot when you can make it 5 hours? Enjoy your 5 hour video of gorgeous Adriana Lima waving a flag in slow motion.

Enjoy.

Watch Karl Lagerfeld Interview Himself

What we all agree on: Karl Lagerfeld is an icon. Probably more than that.

Storytelling in the Center of Coca Cola’s Marketing Strategy

Content marketing has truly arrived on the big stage.

A few months back, Coca Cola announced they were no longer going to rely on the “30-second TV spot” or even traditional ad agencies to build their business moving forward. Coke is now going to put their efforts into the web, storytelling and creating excellent content.

The two videos below outline Coke’s strategy and plan for implementing their marketing vision. I strongly encourage all marketing professionals, leadership teams and even small business owners to set aside 20 minutes to watch these two short videos.

You will see the future.
