1. Campaign Highlight: Leading up to The Walking Dead premiere, Toronto agency Leo Burnett set up eight foot tall “walker hands” in the middle of Union Station. Each day a decaying finger was knocked off counting down to the season premiere. Commuters could take pictures with the hands, tweet #TWDFeb10, and be entered to win one of the gross zombie fingers. They also had chained “walkers” attached to the countdown clock with giveaway tshirts ALMOST within arms reach. Read the full story here: Walking Dead’s Gruesome Countdown

1. Campaign Highlight: Herbal Essences “First Time”
P&G’s Herbal Essences line went through a makeover back in 2006 in an effort to reach a younger demographic. After a few years of declining sales, they are getting back to the basics by releasing 2 of their classic products back into the market. To support the launch they served as an official Grammys sponsor and premiered a new tv spot (starring their celebrity brand ambassador Nicole Scherzinger) last night that is a modern take on their classic “yes, yes, yes” airplane ad: New Ad and Original Ad

They are also engaging social activity by asking users to talk about their #firsttime using Herbal Essences and aggregating the content on their website. It will be interesting to see how the classic products perform this go around!
