A cute ad for phone company dtac by Y&R. Although I love that technology isn't the answer, as it so often is in tech ads, it is a bit weird that the dad didn't just pick up the baby in the first place. I presume parenting roles are different in Thailand. Whatever, it's cute and nice to see that at least one tech company agrees that yes, technology will never replace love, no matter what we're sometimes told.
Coke and Ogilvy & Mather China are behind one of my favourite campaigns this year. To promote the reuse of their plastic bottles, Coke are giving away a set of 16 bottle caps that turn the bottle into a water pistol, a pen, a pencil sharpener, soap dispenser and more. Right now, the caps are being distributed in Vietnam, but will also be available in Thailand and Indonesia. Too bad it's not worldwide.

You've probably seen this video from The Thai Health Promotion Foundation.
Today, a suggested story or page or whatever it was popped up in my Facebook feed which contained this video.
The latter is from Danish non-profit YouMe Family (they aim to improve society through projects focusing on CSR, sustainability and innovation) and is called 'Got a Light?' It's basically exactly the same thing (kids asking smokers for a light). It goes on to say that 9 out of 10 smokers offered the child a light or a cigarette. No notes were passed over or anything, it's purely to raise attention.
Similar, aren't they. I'm not entirely sure I have a point as I don't object (mostly) to copying like this (if it even is) and anyway, it's all for a good cause. I just felt like sharing.
