Stoli, the visionary brand responsible for many “firsts” that have shaped the industry — the first imported Russian vodka to the US, first vodka brand to launch a line of flavored vodkas, the first to introduce luxury vodka — is now connecting with other mavericks in a campaign that is sure to be both thought- and smile-provoking.

With this premise, the campaign’s print ads and commercials are humorous and irreverent yet thoughtful and inspirational, challenging the consumer to ponder how they measure up – Are you daring enough? Are you an original? Are you experiencing and living your life in an authentic, interesting way? Are you someone you’d want to share a Stoli with?

In other words (or these exact ones), Would You Have a Drink With You? Print ads and TV spots broke nationally on May 24 and will run into 2011 featuring multiple celebrities who represent a spirit of originality, people who, like the brand itself, are ground-breakers in their field, passionate and driven to excel.

“With the launch of this new campaign, Stoli recognizes originality, creativity and passion in a call to action to the consumer,” said Andrey Skurikhin, partner at SPI Group, brand owner. “Stoli has a history of venturing into unchartered territory and the new campaign will spotlight real originals, people who take chances without asking for permission. Hugh Hefner exemplifies these shared qualities with Stoli and is the perfect individual to kickoff our new campaign.”

In a fitting move, Stoli’s first ads highlight Hugh Hefner, a true original. Conceptualized by advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather, commercials were directed by Bryan Buckley and include 30-second and 15-second spots. Set in the legendary Playboy Mansion, the commercials feature Hefner seated at a bar having a drink with himself via split screen, revealing a few things the average consumer may not necessarily be able to discover via a Wikipedia bio.

The tag line is: “The most original people deserve the most original vodka. Stoli. Lead On.”

Though Hefner’s story has become somewhat of a bunny tale, Would You Have a Drink with You? is sure to serve as a reminder of the trails he has blazed.

In addition to breaking sexual taboos with the launch of Playboy, Hefner also campaigned for civil rights and free speech and put blacklisted and black American performers on his “Playboy After Dark” and “Playboy’s Penthouse” TV shows at a time when such appearances were rare on national TV. Hefner not only broke the color line in his clubs and TV shows, he also campaigned against censorship.

“I’ve always tried to live my life on my own terms, with sophistication and style, and this Stoli campaign reflects those same beliefs,” said Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. “I was intrigued by the concept of having a drink with myself, and I’m very pleased with the final results. I think fans will get a kick out of the spots.”

Furthering the brand’s relationship with Hugh Hefner and Playboy, Stoli will release a limited edition bottle of Stoli Ohranj featuring the iconic Playboy bunny logo. This offering will be available beginning in October 2010.

In addition, Stoli recently sponsored the 2010 Playboy Playmate of The Year Awards that were held in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Stoli, with its rich heritage as a pioneering brand, looks forward to bringing the Would You Have A Drink With You? campaign to life for our consumers and trade alike via events, sponsorships, and on- and off-premise programs,” said Lisa Pfenning, Category Director – Stolichnaya Vodka, William Grant & Sons USA.

“We are excited to see how Stoli fans across the country react and interact with this exciting program and the dynamic personalities we present, whose own pioneering spirits perfectly mirror that of the Stolichnaya brand,”
The “Lead On” spirit of originality, which connects all facets of the campaign, is also seen in the brand’s ongoing commitment to the film industry.

As a Signature Sponsor of the recent Tribeca Film Festival, Stoli sponsored four after-parties and also bestowed the first-ever Stoli Film Pioneer Award to filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, (The Wrestler, The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream) celebrating his visionary career at an event at The Tribeca Grand on April 26th.

Exclusively for the festival, Stoli premiered a witty “Silence Your Cellphone” trailer with Hefner that played prior to screenings.

In addition, Stoli continues to launch innovative and new flavors including the recently launched Stoli White Pomegranik, the first vodka naturally flavored with the rare white varietal of the fruit. Stoli print ads and online banners for their flavored vodka portfolio, which also launches in May, urge consumers to “Live a life of flavor. Stoli. Lead On.”

“One of the things we’ve been so impressed with is how much people with diabetes are doing for their communities,” said Nick. “Bayer and I hope that through this contest we can call attention to them and thank people with diabetes who support and inspire others, whether it be through volunteering or fundraising.”

Since Bayer Diabetes Care and Nick joined forces in 2008 they have worked together to encourage people with diabetes to achieve Simple Wins, or small, everyday victories.

One of Nick’s Simple Wins is being able to give back to people with diabetes, which he does through The Jonas Brothers Change for the Children Foundation.

A new contest, “Give Back. Simply Win.” sponsored by Bayer Diabetes Care will shine a spotlight on people with diabetes who are making a difference in their local communities.

Three grand prize winners will meet international singing sensation Nick Jonas and Bayer will donate $5,000 to three not-for-profit charitable causes, one selected by each winner.

“I have six sisters and two beautiful daughters—that’s eight women who mean the world to me,” says Huffman. “I support the Entertainment Industry Foundation and Lee National Denim Day because they fund programs that are making huge strides in breast cancer research and support. When everyone donates $5 each, we are able to raise millions in a single day. It’s about coming together to find a solution.”

Huffman, whose character Lynnette Scavo has battled cancer on the show, will appear in a new public service campaign that encourages people to wear their jeans on Friday, October 8, in exchange for a $5 donation to support crucial breast cancer research and support services.

Starting today, groups and individuals can sign up to participate by visiting denimday.com or by calling 1.800.521.5533.

The program provides a free participation kit to those who request it which includes educational materials about breast cancer and supplies to coordinate Denim Day amongst a group of friends, family, or co-workers.

Money raised through the campaign will help the Women’s Cancer Programs of EIF to fund:
o Lee Translational Laboratories, a collaboration of six of the nation’s leading research institutions to find less toxic, more effective treatments.

The EIF Breast Biomarker Discovery Project, a multi-year effort led by world-class scientists to develop a blood test for earlier detection of breast cancer when survival rates are the highest.

The Cancer Support Community, an international non-profit dedicated to providing support, education and hope to people affected by cancer in communities nationwide.

“We’re so happy to have Felicity on board this year,” said Liz Cahill, VP of Marketing and Communications for Lee Jeans. “She is such a passionate supporter for our work with the Women’s Cancer Programs of EIF and our new partnership with Cancer Support Community.

This year, Denim Day donations will not only help to fund valuable research initiatives; they’ll also help support cancer patients and their families, which is an incredibly important part of fighting this disease.”

Since its inception in 1996, the program has raised more than $80 million to fight breast cancer.

A brand committed to the community, Lee Jeans founded Lee National Denim Day®, one of the largest single-day fundraisers for breast cancer.

Miss Minogue’s admission that she uses Pond’s Cold Cream has sent sales of the traditional beauty treatment through the roof.
There has long been speculation over how Miss Minogue, who turns 42 on Friday, has kept her skin looking so youthful.

While she has admitted having Botox injections in the past, she says she now only uses Pond’s.

The £3.99 cream has been a beauty favourite for many years

The lotion, which has been around for 100 years, sells for £3.99 for a 75ml pot in most high street chemists.

It is based on a cleanser used in Greece almost 2,000 years ago – an emulsion of water and certain fats.

Miss Minogue has admitted she has started using it every day following the advice of her mother Carol.

‘It’s really changed my skin,’ she said. ‘It’s all I really use to look after my skin. It’s such an old classic. ‘My mum uses it and it really does work. It’s made such a difference.’

Yesterday Pond’s, which is owned by multi-national company Unilever, said there had been a staggering reaction to Miss Minogue’s comments.

Sales were up by 120 per cent.

‘We’re calling it “the Kylie effect”, and it has been dramatic, to say the least,’ said a spokesman. ‘It’s been crazy. Stockists are increasing their orders and we’ve had to up our product orders pretty dramatically.’

Once you screw the cup to a bottle, fill it up with ice cream, then insert a straw, and finally, squeeze the bottle. This fills the cup with soda, allowing you to sip out a mixture of ice cream and soda.

David Chodosh is the inventor of The Fizz™ and founder of Jonzo, Inc., a product design and development company located in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

With more than 18 years of design experience in toys and housewares, David has created new products for Hallmark, Mattel Toys, Hasbro, Burger King, among others.

His designs have been distributed at mass-market stores and quick service restaurants throughout North America, Europe and Japan.

David created The Fizz™ as a way to put a fun new spin on an all-American classic: the root beer float. He sought a way to simplify the process of making a soda float, at the same time making it more fun to drink.

His concept was to devise a “mixing chamber” that would separate the ingredients and allow the float drinker to mix them as desired, and also make it fun visually as the soda mixes with the ice cream to create an eruption of foam.

After many experiments and prototypes, he arrived at design that was both innovative and easy to produce.

The cup is reusable, but not dishwasher safe.

Watch David explain it all here (excuse the film quality):

With Le Whif, we can inhale food, like chocolate, into our mouths and taste it, experiencing the flavour without experiencing the calories.

Invented by Harvard Professor David Edwards, in collaboration with students, designers, engineers and entrepreneurs working in Edward’s Art Science Labs, in Paris.

Le Whif contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles, so when you place Le Whif in your mouth (rather like a cigarette) and breathe in gently, the particles enter your mouth and fall onto your tongue and suddenly you have an experience of flavour.

A quick puff from the patented lipstick-like device starts the unique Le Whif Taste Experience.

Chocolate or Coffee flies through the air from the end of the Le Whif cylinder.

Chocolate or Coffee sprinkles onto your tongue through small holes in the mouthpiece – never touching your fingers or spilling onto your shirt!

All this and Le Whif packs intense flavour into less than a single calorie.

Le Whif launched in April 2009 with a preliminary design and evolved over the World Tour of Le Whif, a period of 9 months, with sales in over 32 countries, over 40,000 whiffing experiences and two weeks on the beach of the Majestic Hotel at the Cannes Fiilm Festival.

Using particle engineering to form natural food substances into particle sizes that are small enough to become airborne, though too large to enter the lungs – you have all the flavour (currently: mint-chocolate, raspberry-chocolate, mango-chocolate and plain chocolate) and none of the calories. A winner?
