THE LOWDOWN

Marks & Spencer's 2006 Christmas campaign from Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R is a big, bold, brash and camp musical piece set to the backdrop of an Arctic nightclub party.

The 60-second spot aims to continue the populist feel of the "Your M&S" campaign, while simultaneously promoting feelings of excitement and sexiness, as well as being warm and inclusive.

The ad begins with a group of models, now regular faces in M&S advertising, getting dressed for a party. They then fly across the snow flats on Skidoos, as if they were in a James Bond film. Their journey is backed by a cover of Pink's Get the Party Started, which sounds as if it's sung by Shirley Bassey.

As the guests mingle with other models in the palatial ice nightclub, all of whom wear M&S clothes, the camera pans round the room to reveal that Bassey is actually singing the song.

In the 12 weeks ending 26 June 2006, womenswear increased its market share from 9.4 per cent to 10.4 per cent, with menswear increasing from 8.4 per cent to 9.2 per cent, lingerie from 25 per cent to 25.6 per cent and childrenswear from 3.1 per cent to 3.4 per cent.

THE LOWDOWN

A girl's shattered dream is the basis for Transport for London's latest instalment of its "Don't die before you've lived" campaign, by M&C Saatchi.

In contrast to previous ads, the spot shows the teenager being run over at the beginning. A car ploughs into teenager Shanice Williams, who explodes into fragments. The action pauses mid-shatter and cuts to different shots of her life as she becomes a famous athlete.

Important parts of her development also shatter into fragments, such as her name on the school's roll of honour, her locker and her Team Great Britain tracksuit.

The ad ends with her in a stadium taking her mark as she prepares to race. As the starting pistol fires, she shatters into pieces.

Everyday a teenage is seriously injured or killed on London's roads.

THE LOWDOWN

Miles Calcraft Briginshaw Duffy has teamed up with the UK grime act Roll Deep in its latest campaign for the Metropolitan Police's black-on-black gun crime initiative, Operation Trident.

The Roll Deep track Badman tells the story of the consequences of gun culture on people's lives and of the cycle of violence that escalates.

The track is released with a video directed by Jake Nava, who was brought up in East London before relocating to Los Angeles to direct music videos for acts including Beyonce (Crazy in Love) and Usher (Burn).

The video is being promoted on TV stations including MTV and Channel U, and a range of websites including YouTube and MySpace.

THE LOWDOWN

The Royal Air Force is using a humorous print campaign in the hope of increasing applications for the job of air-traffic controller.

The print campaign, by Delaney Lund Knox Warren & Partners, is based on the idea that, while a normal air-traffic controller's job is tough enough, you need to be steely to deal with the RAF's fast jets, as well as larger aircraft.

The ad features a picture of two jars. One contains two average-sized testicles, with a label saying "normal human". The other contains two large ones and carries the label "air-traffic controller".

Earlier this year, the RAF overhauled its careers site to help it appeal to 16- to 24-year-olds. The site now includes blogs, videos and podcasts.

THE LOWDOWN

Stella Artois is educating consumers about its Belgian origins with a print campaign by Lowe. The ads aim to promote the authenticity and craftsmanship behind the beer to a new generation of lager drinkers, who may not be aware of its heritage. The campaign comprises ten ads, created by the design duo Aesthetic Apparatus. Each of the posters carries facts about the lager, ranging from its Belgian provenance to the design of the glass.

One ad has a picture of nine bottles, each of which carry a word to make up the phrase: "A family dedicated to brewing for six centuries." Another carries a flag with the Stella Artois logo and the line: "Quality beer from Belgium since 1366."

THE LOWDOWN

Ferrero Rocher is trying to increase sales of its luxury chocolates in the run-up to Christmas with a new ad campaign. Created by WCRS, it centres on a TV commercial which aims to distance the brand from the cliched image created by its infamous "ambassador" ads.

Set to the Cilla Black song Something Tells Me (Something's Gonna Happen Tonight), the ad has figures in silhouette flying across a background of sparkling gold chocolates - reminiscent of the title sequences from the James Bond films. The spot shows Christmas party scenes with people dancing and enjoying the chocolates, and ends with the line: "Share something special."

THE LOWDOWN

Agency.com has created a website to promote Ikea's lighting range. It is aimed at style-conscious females aged 24-49. The campaign has been designed to drive awareness of the company's new range of lights, and how they can be used effectively.

Once the user has flicked a light switch on the entry screen, they are taken through to a page which shows the side of a building with four illuminated rooms. Each room illustrates how effective use of lighting can change a bad situation. For example, one of the rooms shows a first date taking place in a poorly lit room with the strapline: "A lack of atmosphere can make a first date fall flat." An image of a man and a woman tapping their feet, clearly bored, follows.

THE LOWDOWN

The latest execution in Vodafone's current £10 million UK campaign resurrects The Only Ones' Another Girl, Another Planet. This time around, though, the song has been recorded by the new band BellX1 and will be released as a single.

The spot, which promotes the "Vodafone Family" tariff, aims to convey how a single phone call can transport you to another world. The ad shows a woman in a cafe making a phone call. She sees a child on a rocking horse, and her thoughts jump to a winter fairground where she and her family are entertained by a carousel, a juggler on stilts and a group of acrobats.

The "Vodafone Family" tariff offers users unlimited calls to four people for just £5 a month.
