The creatives at TVF commented saying:” The idea behind the SSD Angels campaign is that we wanted to highlight the human aspect of the relationship between a person and their computer. We wanted to show how the transformation of someone’s computer using a Samsung SSD can create a real emotional response and make a real difference to the owner’s life.

It’s time to Dump The Big Six

Against a backdrop of widespread anger with Big Power in the UK, Ecotricity has launched its “Dump The Big Six” rallying call to ditch your badly behaved supplier and make Britain greener. The Big Six (British Gas, EDF Energy, E.ON, Npower, Scottish & Southern, Scottish Power) have long enjoyed a carbon-fuelled chokehold the UK’s energy, supplying 99% of customers. But is their grip crumbling?

Dirty Power vs Clean Energy

It’s been a winter of discontent for Big Power. Huge numbers of households are deserting: British Gas alone lost 200, 000 customers in the last quarter. The Big Six are disgracing headlines left, right and centre. Even the energy secretary accused them of malpractice.

• A third of Brits have seen no benefit from the recent ‘price war’ on energy
• The Big Six were hammered with over four million complaints in 2011
• Which.com found that 80% of households aren’t on the best value tariff
• Big Six investment in new sources of renewable energy runs as low as £5 a year per customer

In this era of big business, Ecotricity shows when it comes to ethics & customer service, David can beat Goliath.

• Ecotricity is the UK’s foremost renewable energy company
• Ecotricity invest more of your bill in new sources of renewables than any other power supplier
• 88% of Ecotricity’s customers rate their service as ‘excellent or good’
• Your TV stays on when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing

Inspiration

The collapsing cooling tower imagery was inspired by web artist Herman Bailey’s “Sad Chimney” gif: http://b3ta.com/board/10424732. Herman is credited as part of the creative team behind the campaign.

Have you ever heard of the Bregenz Festival? It is a performing arts festival held every July and August in Austria on a floating stage on Lake Constance.

Founded in 1946, the festival presents a wide variety of musical and theatrical events in several venues,for instance Seebühne with 7,000 seats, is the location for large-scale opera or musical performances on a stage over water on the shores of Lake Constance.Opera or musical productions on the floating stage generally tend to come from the popular operatic repertoire, but often are extravagantly original and innovative productions/ stagings, frequently using the waters of the lake as an extension of the stage. Recent productions have included Aida by Giuseppe Verdi in 2009 & 2010; Tosca by Giacomo Puccini in 2007-2008; Il trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi in 2005-2006; West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein in 2003-2004; La bohème by Giacomo Puccini in 2001-2002, and “Ein Maskenball” Un ballo in maschera by Giuseppe Verdi in 1999-2000.

Now Barnatt dances to a remix by Freaks of Yelle’s “Comme un Enfant”and for all of his comedy performance, he gained the most kudos on internet for his series of dancing videos in which the dancer shows is filmed through an entire song. His videos were so popular that the candies brand Skittles actually commissioned Barnatt to partecipate on their latest commercial.
