A nice campaign from Le Coq Sportif range of Shoes. Agency: Unknown.

Taekwondo Breaks!

More and more Guerilla work pouring in from across the world. I sometimes wonder if there's more Guerilla Work happening when compared to regular work. I also get the feeling that this is the medium invented by agencies to win awards easily and with minimum spending! Anyways, this Guerilla Piece was done by DDB Singapore for JH Kim Taekwondo Institute. Clever stuff! VIA

Bad Fit = Bad Feet

Bad Fitting Shoes could lead to Bad Feet in the Future. Intresting way of looking at ill-fitting shoes. Just that the execution puts me off a little bit.

Primary School Nursery Rhyme!

It's saddening that the World's Largest Selling Newspaper has to do advertising that resembles a primary school nursery rhyme! The Times of India has always done some brilliant work. I don't understand how somebody convinced them about something like this. Read it, scream your opinion loud!

Look out for a Volkswagon!

Thanks to Frederic Durand from Agence V (DDB Paris) for sending in a web-link for this lovely new commercial for Volkswagon. You can enjoy the commercial here! Like it??

Drinking Straws from Spain!

Today is World Water Day. To promote the day and increase awareness, Intermon Oxfam placed king size straws across the manholes of cities like Madrid, Barcelona and Zaragoza with the message “would you drink from this water? Thousand of people haven’t got other choice.” More info at www.IntermonOxfam.org/agua. The campaign is an idea of CP Proximity Live, Spain.

Absolutely Amazing Stuff!

This is such an amazing Guerilla Idea from somewhere in South East Asia. Absolutely great! The work speaks for itself. Does anybody know who's behind this piece of brilliance. VIA

Nazca Mirrors for Natan

One more Guerilla Effort by FCB Nazca for Natan Jewellers. The jewelry was placed as stickers on mirrors so that it appeared as if the person in front looked like she was wearing it. Nice!

Levi's Square Cut Denim

A campaign for Levi's Square Cut Denim. I think the first ad works well but the second ad is a litle weak. Agree?? Does anybody knows the agency involved here?

THERAPIST!!

Grey Delhi in association with the Pioneer Newspaper came up with this press ad that educates people about the problem of Child Abuse. simple & straight to the point. Not to mention, works effectively!

Mirror by EURO RSCG Delhi

A guerilla effort by EURO RSCG Delhi for the CPAA (Cancer Patients Aids Association). Nice work guys!

Feature Rich by EPSON

A series of four ads from EPSON Printers. Each of them dedicated to one different feature of their printers. Nice stuff. Anybody know the agency that did these 4 ads?

Naya Campaign!

Thanks to Dharam Valia from 180 Degree Corp., (a creative hot-shop that offers through-the-line communication solutions) Mumbai for sending in this campaign done for the new and revamped version of Mid-Day! The local favorite news daily from Mumbai

The campaign creatives attempts to capture change through 'slice of life' visuals juxtaposing the change. Take for instance a shot of a young girl walking by a PCO, but is merrily chatting on her cellphone. A line reading "Naya PCO" connects this visual to a shot of the 'Naya' Mid Day. Similarly, "Naya Sachin" captures this change by depicting a bunch of kids religiously cricketing away at Shivaji Park with the batsman donning a Dhoni tee-shirt. "Naya Hollywood" takes a dig at bollywood by candidly projecting a worker installing a hoarding of the 'inspired' movie "Fight Club". The mall mania also finds itself being the subject of "Naya Mill" where one sees shoppers amidst High Street Phoenix.

I really don't know how many visitors from the international arena will understand this campaign. But what do the others think? Think it works? Keep those comments coming!

Oooooh-Aaaaaah-Ouch!

One more from cool ad for the Axe Effect from Lowe, India. The copywriter is Nasar Husami and the Art Director is Sajid Khan. Good work guys!

F+E+V+I+C+O+L

I've already posted one-ad from this campaign. But I like it so much that I felt it only makes sense to post all 3 ads together! Fevicol is a famous adhesive from India and the agency that created this campaign is Ogilvy & Mather, Mumbai. Do you like the idea and the simplicity it has? I do!

World Water Day '06

Thanks to DuBois Matthias for sending in this new and amazing campaign to draw people’s attention on the drinking water problem: on World Water Day (tomorrow 22/03), more than 500 “Green Belgium stickers” (see attachment) are being stuck in washbasins in cinemas, pubs, restaurants, public toilets, universities, stations, cultural houses etc. The stickers appear this week in 9 Belgian cities and in Mexico City (where the 2006 World Water Forum was held).

The Harley Davidson Story!

Since the year 1979, Carmichael Lynch has been comng up with some of the finest advertising campaigns for Harley Davidson. A brand that isn't just a brand but has become a mantra to the millions of poeple who own one and swear by its philosophy. I simply love most of their work and this one is no different.

A knife for every deed!

A campaign for a brand of knives called Tramontina from Brazil. The company also manufactures a lot of other products like kitchenware, industrial equipment, chairs, tools, electrical materials, catering materials and more. Anybody know the agency that did this?

Does Anybody Get This?

This ad for GE from Sao Paulo, Brazil was done by Neogama BBH. I don't really understand what it's trying to say. Can somebody help? May be a perspective from Brazil might help! ;)

Sunsilk Hair Care

This campaign for Sunsilk Afterwash Combing Lotion comes from the Mumbai Office of JWT. A refreshing change from all the mundane hair care advertising that we're so bored of seeing in this part of the world. The photography in the ads is pretty intresting too...

Shocking Enough??

These 2 extremely graphic pieces of communication are for the Nicolas Hulot Foundation. The agency behind this campaign is CLM BBDO, Paris.
