We have been doing extensive market research to see how we can make Toggi as famous as Justin Bieber without having to comb his hair backwards (Ok, we tried that, but he just looked silly).Clusters of supercomputers have been crunching our data for reliable predictions and based on this very scientific research, we have gathered the following data:

Icelandic Ad Awards nominations are in!
Thursday, 25 February 2010 12:43

Nominations for the 2009 Icelandic Advertising Awards or "Lúðurinn" (as we of course call them) are in.

We are happy to have contributed work to four of the nominated projects, and will of course use this opportunity to brag here on the interwebs, so you think we are really cool, and want to work with us. And as always, we hurry to do this while they are still nominations, because 2009 was a good year in advertising in Iceland, and all this work has strong contenders.

Nominated for best TV ad, and best campaign, is Netvarinn for Siminn.

The TV ad was directed by SagaFilm's Samuel and Gunnar for agency ENNEMM. Arnar produced and performed the classic track with great results. You can check out full details here:

 


Nominated for best work in open catagory is a song, Suzy Thunder's BIG, which we produced for Vodafone and their agency Fíton. More details about the campaign and TV ad here.

The song did well in Icelandic charts and got good airplay, we are still giving it away here, where it has been downloaded over 20.000 times now. YouTube plays are up to almost the same number. We did club remixes as well, and gave them away here. The song hit the youth market spot on, and is still being played in clubs and discos, adding great value to the campaign for Vodafone.

Suzy Thunder - BIG

 


We did the sound design for this campaign for Filmus Productions, Hvíta Húsið, Umferðarstofa and VÍS insurance. The spots, aimed at getting people to buckle up, were directed by Guðjón Jónsson. It is nominated in a category for public service commercials.

Finally we produced this radio ad "Kattskar", a clever script nominated for best radio work, for IKEA and their agency Íslenska. Unless you were born on a cold rock in the North-Atlantic you won't understand it though:

IKEA - Kattskar

 

All in all, a good start to the day, actually.

 
Eberg and Don Pedro join forces for Metro
Friday, 29 January 2010 16:35

More recent work for you: Metro, a brand new fast food chain, opened their doors with big fanfare in the last quarter of 2009. They needed a catchy and lively song for their radio and TV campaigns. Who you gonna call?

Don Pedro and Eberg joined forces and wrote and recorded "Feels like heaven". And now it can be heard all over the place. And here, of course:

 

 
10-11. It's open. All the time. Really.
Tuesday, 26 January 2010 22:03

Time to put up some more work and catch up on this site so that you don't think we are locked up in the studio listening to great saxophone records all day long (trust us, we aren't).

Anyway. Here is a project we enjoyed working on. Arni Thor Jonsson @ Republik Film Productions directed this clever commercial for convenience store chain 10-11 and ad agency Vatikanid. The ad, well received locally,  will be featured in the next edition of Shots magazine - which guarantees that it will be copied in all continents before the end of 2010.

Eberg composed and produced the music, and to be absolutely sure that the spot would sound gorgeous, all audio post production and sound design was taken care of in-house as well.

 

 
Sean Danke and the frogs do BIG
Tuesday, 17 November 2009 20:50

What do Dj Sean Danke and a couple of frogs have in common? Suzy Thunder's BIG. That's what. The chart hit we did for Vodafone for their prepaid campaign gets two rather different makeovers this week.

Firstly, we are very happy to present Sean Danke's remix of BIG. It's great. Two versions, available to the dancing public right here and now, free of charge, with our warmest regards.  Spread the word, please.

Gold!
Thursday, 12 November 2009 21:44
Directing duo Samuel and Gunnar just finished a new spot for Egils Gull beer for Saga Film. (Gull, of course, means gold in anglo-saxonic). The commercial, commisioned by Fíton for Egils brewery Ölgerðin shows what is really worth committing a crime for, and was scored by Don Pedro using up a year's supply of wah effects:
 
 

 
'Freeze-out' for new Insurance campaign
Wednesday, 23 September 2009 13:55
Snorri Helgason's first single from a forthcoming solo album is entitled 'Freeze-out'.

We got this track hot from mastering from our friends at Kimi Records, and realized immediately that it would be a great track for a TV ad.

It didn't take long untill we found a good place for it in a neighbor watch campaign for insurance company Sjóvá, masterminded by Hvita Husid and directed by Filmus Productions' director Hannes Thor Halldorson.

The TV ad can be seen here:

 

Here you can stream the full track, be sure to visit Snorri on his MySpace or Facebook and follow his progress as the album gets ready, judging from what we have heard already we are sure it is going to be great.

 

 
Suzy Thunder - BIG - Remixes

They're here, and they are yours for free. First approved remixes for Suzy Thunder's BIG are in the house.

Beloved DJ Gisli Galdur worked his magic and presented us with 2 edits of his remix, pick your poison, we really prefer the long one, but then of course we would :-)

It's safe to say that BIG has become one of Iceland's hottest tracks this summer, 7 weeks in the charts by now, massive airplay and great club response.

More remixes are on the way, and we're happy to inform you that new Suzy Thunder material is in the making in our own studio.

Let's dance.
