Cable network HBO partnered with marketers for an ad campaign promoting the second season premier of its series "True Blood." Agency Digital Kitchen created ads for fake products targeting vampires from real brands Ecko Unlimited, Geico, Gillette, Harley-Davidson, MINI and Monster.com--find more executions below. The ads maintain the brands' logos and creative style while featuring made-up vampire-themed copy and products.
