alfred dunhill unveils their spring summer 2012 ad marketing campaign today. into the 3rd period of their “voice” collection, the marketing campaign casts notable brits fortheirachievements. preceding poster-boys variety from the wonderful explorer sir ranulph fiennes (age 68), to violin virtuoso charlie siem (age 26). i really love the “voice” campaigns, it can be so anti-style in a way but completed so superbly with spectacular black and white portraits. it’s not just about looking at a marketing campaign and wanting that bag or the pair of footwear, but seeking to be that individual who managed to attain all these things and have all these excellent stories to explain to.

and with the london olympics coming up this summertime, alfred dunhill showcased several british olympic hopefuls/honouree for their latest ad marketing campaign, this is one particular amazing partership. i locate it is frequently tough casting athletes in style advert campaigns. not every person can pout like david beckham or revel in small pants like cristiano ronaldo. but “voice” is an remarkable platform, and the olympians truly are a fantastic in shape, because it’s much more about the personal and a lot less about the items they are hawking. but still i am significantly in love with that shawl neck jacket over.

i would not lie, ambigu olympic champion iain percy’s campaign is my favorite. those tousled manes, manly beard and steely gaze wouldn’t seem out of location in a fashion magazine at all. signing up for the british sailor is 23 year aged gymnast louis smith, as nicely as sir matthew pinsent (over), who won four consecutive gold medals at the olympics rowing occasions.

they had sir david frost in their initial “voice” campaign, then sir ranulph fiennes, and now sir matthew pinsent. you actually have to be knighted by the queen to be showcased in alfred dunhill’s campaigns. a lot more photographs and stories on dunhill’s facebook page.
