AIDS on the street!


Cup and a Cup!

Thanks to Elias Kouloures for sending in this cool new ambient medium idea for Wrigleys Extra Smile Chewing Gum. I think it will remind most people of a similar idea created for the Toronto Plastic Surgery Hospital created by DDB Canada posted below.

RMG Connect - The Ultimate Pleasure Xperience!


So are these Shocking? Bold? Blasphemous? Exciting? Attention Grabber? Opinions Invited! via

Lifesavers by Dentsu, Malaysia!

13 eme RUE!


If anybody knows - what 13th eme RUE is all about and who made this campaign for them, please leave a comment. All I know is that it has to do with the movies! More here: http://www.13emerue.fr/

The Home Centre - Can't Wait!



A fresh new campaign for 'Home Centre' by the Classic Partnership in Dubai. A nice idea where you love the furniture, curtains, beds, etc so much that you can barely wait for your home to be ready.

BMW Driving!



Headline: You never really stop driving a BMW. Agency: Unknown

Lord of War - Guerilla

A cool guerilla idea to promote the 2005 movie 'LORD OF WAR' starring Nicholas Cage and Directed by Andrew Niccol. The idea was executed at Video/DVD Rental Stores across Brazil. via

COJAK for MEN!


An interesting, bold and different approach to selling clothing by COJAK from Sweden. I guess these ads remind me of the men will be men campaign for a liquor brand in India, only that the expressions there are more typically male habits, typical male reactions to a good looking woman, etc while they are more radical and might put off a few people here!

Bishops Finger Ale!





These ads for Bishops Finger Strong Ale are a racy mix of suggestive headlines, revealing clothing and a good treatment/imagery considering that Bishops Finger is one of the oldest British Breweries. I guess the product is as great as the women are! via

A Head Hunterz Bag!

Looks like the bags just keep coming one after the other again and again and again and again and again! This one is for a head hunter called The Career Builders from Ukraine. The agency involved is Leo Burnett. Thanks to Max Gladwell for sending this in.

Levi's Carbon Pressed Denim



After the tremendous success of their stick figure campaign, JWT India has come up with 2 more campaigns for Levi's. This latest effort is for their range of Carbon Pressed Denim. To see their previous campaign go http://sandeepmakam.blogspot.com/2006/09/fresh-work-from-levis.html

KODAK Rechargable Batteries!



Yet again a campaign from South Asia, this time it's Ogilvy & Mather, Malaysia that's coming up with the most refreshing and a slightly bizzare (I guess the Indian Word for it is 'haatke')campaign. I love these ads for Kodak Rechargable Batteries. A brilliantly executed campaign that we can surely expect to see at every ad fest very soon. To see more campaigns for batteries go here or here!

Duracell Guerilla - Ogilvy, Delhi




Over-sized models of Duracell batteries were fitted in the boot space available behind passengers vehicles (bus, van, autorickshaw etc.). As they commuted daily through the city, it gave the impression that the vehicles were powered by Duracell.

Product: Duracell >> Agency: Ogilvy & Mather, New Delhi >> Country: India >> Creatives: Emmanuel Upputuru (Creative Director) >> Abhinav Pratiman (Copywriter) >> Rishi Chanana (Art Director)

Parisloft Whites!


Two cool ads for Parisloft Dental Clinic in Montreal, Canada where the corporate philosophy is "we hate yellow"!

Martial Arts Week - NGC



In order to promote the Martial Arts Week by the National Geographic Channel (NGC) - a series of documentaries about the surprising Martial Arts – a press kit constituted by a brick, a black belt and a leaflet was sent to the press and media buyers with information about the series and the programme schedule. The press kit defies whoever opens it to try and break the brick, making that person feel like a true Martial Art Master.
For the final consumer several Street Campaigns were made:
Promoters were placed in strategic spots in the city of Lisbon. The flyers also directed the people for the on-line quiz made by the Martial Arts Week sponsor Wilkinson brand.
About 150 black belts and flyers were placed in different supports throughout the city of Lisbon. Each team of promoters was constituted by two fighters who trained with each other and by a third who distributed the flyers explaining the reason for that make-believe combat.
Thanks to Hugo Tornelo from Torke Stunt, Lisbon for mailing this in.

BRAVIA - Colorrs Come Alive!




First it was the refreshingly lovely television commercials that we all wished we had made and now BRAVIA is back in print and outdoor too. These ads are so trippy, you could be on a roller coaster ride by just staring at them in deep concentration. Lovely work by EURO RSCG in Argentina. via

The return of the Zombies!!








They are back, and this time they promise to bring alive your worst advertising nightmares. Welcome to round 2 of this extended saga of senseless communication effort by Eastpak. I don't know if some of you do find some justification in these ads, buut they are as stupid to me as they always were. If you're curious to see more of these, go here.

Hazeline - Rise & Fall!

Two ads for a brand of shampoo called Hazeline. The first ad is for their variant that makes your hair stronger and the second is for a variant that promises smooth, silky hair. A great way to show the individual benefits with the same idea! If you know the agency, leave a comment!

d-CON Rat N Mice Killer!



A nice and funny campaign for a Rat and Mice Killer called d-CON. I've definetely seen something very similar before. Can't seem to recollect where though!

20 Jahre Safe Sex!



This is a campaign for a public service agency called The AIDS assistance Frankfurt registered association. They offer information, consultation, assistance and switching - confidentially, anonymous and free of charge to all HIV and AIDS Victims. The English here may not be great but the ads are interesting. via: Coloribus Blog.

Humo Cultures!




A really cool and eye-catching campaign for Humo, the Belgian (Flemish) weekly magazine. What I find interesting is the fact that the youngsters across Belgium really loved this campaign and it soon acheieved the status of being transferred into posters in dorms and teenager bed rooms across the country while the older generation never really liked the work. The platform of mixing cultures is great and the rendition here, even better! Lovely work from Mortierbrigade

Headless Sex!





I think the underlying message here is something to the effect of 'Sex without a condom. is similar to doing it without using your head'. It would be great if somebody could help with a translation on this campaign.

Do Not Mess With Me!

I don't know the agency that did this but I think it's a cool ad for a karate school because of its 'do not mess with me attitude'. If you know the credits, leave a comment.

Milko Cow Experience!



Headline: Milko Cheese Spread. A near cow experience. Agency: Akestam. Holst, Sweden. via

Maglite Shadows!



Another shadow campaign - this one's for Maglite Torches! I guess this technique should now be considered cliched. Way too many products and way too many categoroies using the same idea again and again. To see other torch campaigns, go here or here!

Nike ACG


To promote Nike ACG’s Fall & Holiday 06 apparel line, this campaign glorifies the gear and Team Nike ACG riders by making solid dramatisations of individual moves. The sculptures are carved from metal and fibre, just as the skis and snowboards, and are shot against milky white landscapes in a look that cements Nike ACG’s credentials as a premium outdoor brand.

Playboy Spec Work!

Sanjeev Saikia from Delhi, India sent me this spec ad for Playboy TV. It's quite interesting!

Sony Bravia - PAINT!



What do you get when you combine 70,000 litres of paint, 358 single bottle bombs, 33 sextuple air cluster bombs, 22 Triple hung cluster bombs, 268 mortars, 33 Triple Mortars, 22 Double mortars, 358 meters of weld, 330 meters of steel pipe and 57 km of copper wire together??

MAGGI - The Golden Drum 2006!



The Golden Drum Awards were announced recently and here's a campaign for Maggi that's sure to raise a few eye-brows! Now come to think of it, here's a product that claims that women would be better off if they spent lesser time cooking and Maggi helps them do just that. I like the premise of the produc helping in preparing a meal quickly, but I don't like the approach at all.
I feel the only reason why women have not been as glorified as men is only because there are far too many MCP's out there who just won't give them their due! Well, it would be interesting to see if the women reading this post like this campaign or if it does offend them!

Agency: McCann Erickson, Bucharest >> Awards: Shortlist Golden Drum >> Advertiser: Nestle Romania >> Creative director: Adrian Botan & Alexandru Dumitrescu

Drugs V/S Trainers!


A really well executed campaign for CitySport that encourages sportsmen not to do drugs. What I like most is the whole magentism of the visuals. They just grab you and it's extremely hard to not notice a campaign like this. Absolutely rivetting work here. The claim is “Don’t do drugs, do trainers.”

Torch the Shadows - Osram!




Two different campaigns that use shadows and that too on the same day!! Interesting. This campaign is to promote what Osram describes as the most powerful torch on the planet. But if there's still a torch campaign that's stuck in my head, it's got to be this one for INOVA that won a Cannes Bronze Lion this year!
Product: Power Dragon Torch (flashlight) >> Title: Shadow Puppets >> Agency: Springer & Jacoby Hamburg >> Country: Germany >> Creatives: (Creative Director) Timm & Bettina (Creative Director) Tobi & Knobi (Creative Director) Myles Lord (Creative) Andreas Balog (Creative)

The Suicides!



I found this really funny campaign for an insecticide on seaspace. The idea is basically that the product is so darn good that the insects have no other option but suicide! The quality of the images is rather small....if you know the product, leave a comment. Interesting ads here though I very vaguely get the feeling I have seen this idea before.

Need a POST-IT??

Audi - Designed to Thrill!!



Campbell's Soup!


I like the treatment for these ads for Campbell's Soup by BBDO, Toronto. Shadows are always fun and anything clever with them always grabs attention. via

Havaianas by Marcello Serpa!

Headline: Trust the opinion of who has twice as many feet as you.

Headline: Don't even try to throw your sandal and ask him to fetch.

Outside The Box by LDV!



This campaign was created by LDV United in Antwerp, Belgium. This campaign was created to stimulate more diverse voting during the elections. The problem in Belgium was that most people tend to vote for the typical, average, white male (of 40-50 years old), while the place has a multi-cultural society.
The aim here was to make people aware of the fact that diverse voting leads to a diverse council. These ads are definetely attention grabbing and I hope they were effective too!

That's a Blind Corner!

Thanks to Woei Hern from Dentsu, Malaysia for sending in this Ambient Poster to inform students about the dangers of speeding. I do not have the credits but if any of you do, leave a comment!

It's Diwali!



It's Diwali across the Planet and almost every page of every newspaper is trying to promote the festival season with an offer of some kind (cash discounts, freebies, trips abroad, lucky gifts, scratch cards, etc.) How does one stand out from this clutter without losing out on the spirit of the season.
Saints and Warriors, Mumbai recently created this campaign for Piramyd, a retail store where you shop for almost everything your home needs. I like the style of using the packs of traditional Diwali crackers as the core theme for this campaign though it is a style that's been tried before.
Co-incidentally HBO has tried something similar for their Diwali Blockbusters but I feel this campaign is more relatable for it's promo value!

These ads for Nestea (a brand of iced-tea from the coca-cola company) have a really cool attitude and I'm sure it's an attitude that is going to rub off on the product too! Lovely headlines and some decent art...all in all, a really nice campaign.

A Marcello Serpa Interview!!

Elias Kouloures and his team of friends just interviewed Marcello Serpa from Almap BBDO! The legendary advertising genius from Brasil during his last visit to Germany. Log on to beers and ideas and listen to him as he rants about the industry, his time as a beginner and what underwear he prefers!!
There are 2 parts to the interview and I am sure most of you will enjoy this one as much as I did. Thanks for this one Elias! And for those of you who want more about Serpa, I found this amazing site where there is a lot more about the man himself!

These ads for split endz, a hair salon in Toronto might be a bit morbid for all of you to like it. I don't know the agency, if you do leave a comment. via

The Invisible Flowers by Clorox!


Over the advertising years, cleaning agents have used the transparency platform in various ways and degrees, each to demonstrate the cleanest clean. With Clorox Floral, we had to do that and more. Flowerbed positioned the New Floral scent to mimic the presence of real flowers, no matter where you are. So what if you can't see them. If you can smell them, they are there. The 'Do Not Step On The Flowers' sign treats flowers just the way they would be treated in their natural environment.

The headline reads "don’t make it a grad to forget". Drunken driving amongst teenagers is a problem in almost every country...the more we see of these, the lesser the number of accidents and deaths, hopefully!

Wine from Spain!



A very interesting looking campaign for Miguel Torres, a brand of Wine from Spain. What I do not know is why each of these ads use the grape branch to form Animals! What's the link between the wine, the grapes and the animals...can somebody who knows more Spanish or more about wine help here?

MOVIE GOING FOR DUMMIES by Quentin Tarantino

According to me, Quentin is "GOD" and his movies are his blessings...found this today at sceneone and I just could not resist posting it. Since all Ad Folk love movies so much, I was imagining you'd enjoy this too!
Wednesday, 20 September 2006

To me, movies are like a religion. They speak to me on every level. When I was a boy, I never had a father. Guys like Steve McQueen, Fred Williamson, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Bruce Lee, Elvis Presley became my father figures. They developed me as a person.

Movies are an experience and like every experience, they must be savored. Watching a film on the big screen is the only way to watch a film as far as Im concerned. Forget DVD's, computers and all that other shit. Watching a film at home is too distracting. The world gets in the way and it's not an experience anymore. I love going to a dark, air conditioned, popcorn filled theater. Even cooler then that, watching a movie with an audience.

Not everyone feels the same way I do. Ever since Thomas Edison developed the projector, there have and will always be Sinners Of Cinema.

Let me break them down for you. Allow me to present, Quentin Tarantino's 7 Deadly Sinners Of Cinema.

1. "The Gabbers", you know the motherfuckers who will talk and talk through a whole movie. When Im at a film and somebody rambles on about BS, I'll usually tell them to shut the fuck up. There is a time and place to do shit and when Im at a movie, talking is not one of them.

2. "The Cell Phone Hacks" Hey, what's more obnoxious then talking at a movie?? Ringing cellphones of course. Turn that shit off, your fucking with my movie going experience. Annoying rings are even worse. If you ever hear a cellphone with Zippity Doo Da while your at a movie?? Do me a favour, snatch the phone, throw it on the floor and stomp it into a million pieces.

3. "The Baby Sitter's Club" Don't get me wrong. Kids are awesome, I might even have my own someday. Anyway, a few years ago I was in a theater in Van Nuys. I went to go see 28 Days Later. In the middle of the movie this kid no older then one, bursts out crying. At this point Im thinking, "Who takes their one year old kids to this kind of movie??" Take your little ones to Spy Kids 3, not a fucking horror flick!!

4. "The Max Cadys" Remember that scene in Cape Fear where Bob Deniro is laughing his ass off in the theater?? Okay, I love comedy and I love to laugh. I love people laughing in movies, but keep that shit down to a roar. It's taking away from my movie going experience.

5. "The Pseudo Siskels" As the old saying goes, "Everybody's a critic". Either before or after a movie, I always hear that person/persons try to critique a movie. When they do they mispronounce or mix up names. Example: "I didn't like Morgan Freeman in Kiss The Girls, but he did a great job in An Officer And A Gentlemen." Leave that to the film geeks, believe me they spend all their time and money on movies. Mispronounciation is blasphemy in the religion of cinema.

6. "Fan boys/girls" Every cult movie spawns fan people. Like the Trekkies or the The Star Wars fans. I actually like these people. It's cool to support your favorite films. But if your dressed like a Hobbit and get your ass kicked during the movie?? Guess what?? Your fucking with my movie going experience.

7. "Cinemaphiles or Cinema sluts" Do not ever mess with these people. They're dangerous, obsessive and dont like to be bothered. How do I know?? Because I'm one of them. These people count down the days on the calender, read articles, and usually catch the first screening on opening day. When they do finally make it to that movie, it's like a religious holiday. Forget Christmas, if they want to see that new Brian DePalma movie, they'll put in for request to have that day off.

So, my cinema friends, go to the movies and have fun. Give that film your full attention. Commiting cinema sins will defeat the purpose of seeing that movie. Do all the other shit after you seen the movie a couple of times.
