Enter a new era with 3D

"Sophisticated technologies tend to be the preserve of experts. Today, Dassault Systèmes wants to break with this tradition and establish 3D technology as a new universal language with applications in every walk of life.

To express this groundbreaking vision – and the major advances we have driven in 3D technology in terms of capability, flexibility and ease of use – French advertising agency devarrieuxvillaret has created a new tagline for Dassault Systèmes:

Collaborative Drawing

"Odopod is a design studio with a talent for using new technology in meaningful ways. We opened for business six years ago and currently reside in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco. We're compact-we have one location with about twenty people. Our company was founded on the belief that a small group of talented people, when given the opportunity, can do amazing things.

About the work
The unexpected results of working in an inventive environment with talented people are something we enjoy. So it made sense to open that up to the extended Odopod family. We created this collaborative drawing tool and invited friends to make their own drawings and modify one another's."

Ford Ads by Director David Mamet

"Famed playwright and feature film director David Mamet makes his television commercial directing debut with two new Ford ads which feature two Ford Edge drivers discussing their vehicles while parked alongside one another on the road. “Quieter than a Lexus” highlights the fact that the Ford Edge beat the Lexus RX350 in a quietness test. “Quicker than a BMW” showcases Edge’s ability to outpace the BMW X5 in a 0-60 mph acceleration test. Both ads end with the line, “Spirit of a sports car … versatility of an SUV. The all-new Edge.”

Two-time Oscar nominee Mamet is best known for writing such hits as Glengarry Glen Ross, Spanish Prisoner, Heist, Wag the Dog, The Untouchables and Hoffa. The Ford ads feature his signature style of fast-paced dialogue and straightforward imagery.

The ads were created by JWT Team Detroit as part of the Ford ‘Bold Moves’ marketing platform." Read more...
