Coca-Cola banned from claiming its Vitaminwater brand is 'nutritious'

The Advertising Standards Authority upheld complaints that a poster campaign for the drink was misleading, advertising the drink as ‘nutritious’ when the 500ml drink contained more than a quarter of the recommended daily intake.
The soft drinks giant’s poster campaign ran with the tag line ‘enhanced hydration for the nation – delicious and nutritious.’
But while the sugar content of the drink is documented on the label, the advertising watchdog said that they considered consumers would not expect a ‘nutritious’ drink to have the equivalent of four or five teaspoons of added sugar.
Coca-Cola defended the use of the contentious word, saying the product contained ‘nutritionally meaningful quantities of several nutrients’ including vitamin C and four B vitamins.
But the ASA said the use of the word nutritious was misleading and said the advertisement should not appear again in its current form.

Chocolate + Love = Best Facebook Campaign Ever?

If there are two subjects that get people (especially girls) excited it has to be chocolate and love and Greek chocolate brand Lacta have tapped in to them both to create this amazing Facebook campaign which created huge engagement and boosted their likes by 300%. Users were asked to tag themselves in an app that reproduced a virtual chocolate bar with the name of their loved one on it. The messages were shared to the wall with the photo as well as appearing in their photo albums with the person’s name tagged. The impressive thing about this campaign was not just the fact that it increased likes and had huge user participation but also the fact that the photos live on forever as virtual adverts in user’s photo albums as well as many users adding them to their profile pictures. Stick with the video for the boring first 30 seconds to get to the good Facebook stuff…

New Bond book "Carte Blanche" takes spy to Dubai

Carte Blanche is the name of the new James Bond novel, which has been set amid the skyscrapers and blue waters of Dubai and is due for release in May.
The first James Bond novel to be written by Jeffery Deaver is to be titled Carte Blanche, with a release date of 26th May 2011. Deaver has written more than 28 thrillers including The Bone Collector and Garden of Beasts, which won the UK based CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger award for best thriller in 2004.
Deaver said: "In the world of espionage, giving an agent carte blanche on a mission comes with an enormous amount of trust and constantly tests both personal and professional judgement. Part of the nonstop suspense in the novel is the looming question of what is acceptable in matters of national and international security.
Unlike Sebastian Faulks' Bond novel Devil May Care, publisher Penguin's fastest-selling adult novel, Carte Blanche will be set in the present day, including an updated version of Fleming's favourite car, a Bentley Continental GT.
