AA 'you've got a friend' by Delaney Lund Knox Warren
By Colin Marrs, Campaign Work, Thursday, 26 February 2009 01:54PM
Tony Kaye has returned to the UK making his commercial directorial debut for Delaney Lund Knox Warren & Partners with its new ad for the AA. Kaye resurfaces in the UK with the 60-second spot based around Carole King's song "You've got a friend". The ad evolves the "AA as a friend" positioning that DLKW developed in its first campaign for the brand in 2005. It opens on a crying baby in a car, and cuts to an AA patrolman who breaks into the song. During the ad he is joined by more and more patrols until there is a choir singing the song in various locations, tending to various roadside emergencies. The ad, which will also air in cinemas, closes with a sleeping baby and the original patrolman ending the song. It uses the line: "You've got AA friend."

Making the best out of Twitter chats with @TheChatDiary
Many businesses try and engage user and demonstrate their expertise via running chats over Twitter. These are on a chosen topic, and curated and followed by a pre-assigned #hashtag.Twitter chats can be a very useful way of networking and community building for those involved, however they are also easy to miss. While you can read the conversation back, this clearly limits the interactivity and value of the conversation.
