Highdive for Airheads

Highdive’s scented an opportunity for Halloween, and it’s no nosedive. Taking the familiar refrain “trick or treat, smell my feet” to heart, the brand and agency break down children’s Halloween Night foot odor by mileage and more—then deliver an Airheads-scented antidote to the problem.

And skewing a bit older…

They say Gen Zers demand promotions, prioritize self-care and don’t want to do the work to succeed. But is that really the case? In a slick new campaign, Highdive took to the ice with young NHL stars, including Connor Bedard, Jack Hughes and Nick Suzuki, to throw some shade at these stereotypes.

Ad Age’s John Springer has the story.

Another good read from Ad Age.

Stoltz for Disability Rights Idaho

ARGONAUT for Cricket Wireless

Oh my! Cricket’s green, Pixar-esque spokesblob is in the blurred-out buff in this spot, emphasizing that the provider has “nothing to hide.” That said, Dante (for that is the green guy’s name) isn’t typically depicted wearing clothing in other scenarios, so the blur itself renders him more salacious than his usual nude self.
