-Atlanta boutique agency ASO Advertising brings out the big guns, as well as a wandering brain, for its new campaign for Bridgestone Golf. To promote the Mindset golf ball, legendary golf icon Tiger Woods, alongside celebrity tour pros Jason Day and Fred Couples, come to the aid of an amateur golfer, whose mind is literally wandering around on the tee box.
-Golfers don’t usually want to hear a golf ball hit the pavement, since it usually means their shot has gone awry. In a new campaign for golf brand TaylorMade, Zambezi made a spot that promotes smacking a long shot on the blacktop. “The Highway,” produced by the agency’s production studio, Fin Studios and directed by Cameron Baird, shows how TaylorMades are the most accurate distance irons you can play. The spot shows a golfer on an abandoned desert road, making his mark repeatedly on the center yellow line.

Shake Shack is betting on the length of the Academy Awards.
-With Hollywood’s biggest night coming up this Sunday, Shake Shack is promoting a nationwide deal that bets on the Oscars ceremony length. If the show goes over or under three hours and 31 minutes, Shack fans across the country will receive a free Chicken Shack sandwich or SmokeShack burger. The over means the Chicken Shack will be free, and on the under, the SmokeShack will be free through March 18. The show runtime prediction was calculated in collaboration with marketing agency Known, whose custom modeling incorporated both recency-weighted time series and “show-component” analysis to predict length based on publicly available data.
