Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

Music and adverts


I don't know about everyone else but I just love it when, in my opinion, a really good song is used - it just makes the advert. My music tastes are really quite broad now as I've got older but I'm just loving some of the adverts that are being shown at the moment.

Just some of my favourites currently are : -

M&S - Don't put a foot wrong this Christmas - The Bee Gees - You should be dancing

Virgin Atlantic - Got it - Muse's cover version of Nina Simone's - Feeling Good (A previous blog of mine)

Confused.com -Cara sings - Cover version of Queen's - Somebody to love
Ikea -Kitchen Party - Jona Lewis - You'll always find me in the kitchen at parties

John Lewis -Christmas 2010 - Ellie Goulding's cover of Elton John's - My Song

Not only are the songs good to listen to, but the adverts are also worth a watch......





P.S. Jodie - I know how much you love the Yeo Advert that's being shown during the X-Factor breaks - people are campaigning to get it to No 1 for Xmas!!!

    The secret to a great ad then is to know when and what music supplements the idea, and when the music actually becomes the idea....

    BBH were the masters of music tracks on ads. Think about all those Levi ads with tracks new and old that often became number ones:
    Stand by Me - Ben E King
    When a man loves a woman - Percy Sledge
    The Joker - Steve Miller Band
    Spaceman - Babylon Zoo
    Flat Beat - Mr Oizo

    Peugeot 405 - Take my breath away and the burning sugar cane fields. But nothing beats Levis and Heard it through the grapevine - for a number of reasons...

    Interestingly I think some TV and radio ideas have been borne out of a song!
