Advertising For the Birds!

Sometimes great advertising can be all about common sense. Look at this brilliant piece of work done by Leo Burnett, Portugal for Friskies (a bird-feed product). I really love this work!! Stunning work guys. Pure Brilliance!

Move up the Ladder!

Looks like the team at McCann, Mumbai has been having a lot of fun working with the jobs portal, monster.com. This guerilla sticker was pasted on cars and bikes outside offices telling the owners to upgrade their jobs and also upgrade their cars in the process. Interesting stuff. VIA

Balloon Brains!

Since I don't understand this language, it makes no sense to me. Can somebody out there do the explaining. Thanks!

Umbro Goal Posts

One more Cannes Lion Winner for Umbro in 2005. I mostly dislike campaigns like these where all three ads look the same. I'm still thinking how I would have done this print campaign any differently! Or is the trick in stopping at just one ad that is brilliant?

Cut the Axe!

Superb and simple piece of communication for the National Park Wildlife & Plant Conservation Department. This won a Cannes lion in 2005 and also made it to the One Show Annual. Anybody knows the agency that did this ad?

Travel Reporter!

Winner of an EPICA in 2004, this campaign for the Reporters Without Borders tells quite an interesting story. I like the treatment and the fact that it looks like a travel campaign, but isn't really one. Nice work here!

Ogilvy at the OBIE's

O&M India has secured a gold at the 64th OBIE awards organised by Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA) for this entry for the ‘Jaipur Foot’ made for the Bhagwan Mahaveer Vikland Sahayata Samiti. This metal was bagged in the International: Series campaign category. VIA: agencyfaqs and exchange4media

The Sony Walkman!

Here's what Sony does for its Walkman in South East Asia. Body art is kinda cool, I must say!

Rodeo Romeo!

One more of those ads from South East Asia that keep me pondering away! This one looks like its for a product for young kids. The benefit being that your kids grow up so soon that they feel like they are riding the real horse instead of the toy one. Does anybody know who did this ad and what the product really is?

Dead Meat by PETA!

The activists from PETA (People For Ethical Treatment of Animals) packed themselves as meat to publicise that fact that Animals are killed and abused because we eat meat. Nice try, but I really wonder how many people are really going to give up meat after watching this?

Here It Right!

A Cute and Funny Student Campaign for JBL Speakers done by Ozan Aslan and Alper Kologlu. I like these ads, quite memorable. VIA: ihaveanidea.org

Got Milk?

A new set of ads from the got milk? Campaign. Has the got milk? work always been done by one agency? I'm curious?

Nike Brush-Art!

No great headlines, no amazing idea, no stunning concepts but yet so superb! Some really brilliant art direction makes this campaign an absolute beauty to look at. The visual treatment is so mind blowing, damn...these guys are really really good!

Radio Art

Very interesting and different Art Direction for this campaign for a Radio Station named Dinamo 103.8. Does anybody know the agency and the country this was done in? It looks like it could be Brazil, but could be wrong!

Senseless, Heartless, Meaningless Crap!

Oh Damn! The bozo's are back at it again. Another absolutely mindless piece of nonsense that tries to sell products with dead animals. I don't understand one bit of this ruthless piece of rubbish!

Why would anybody like to even look at grose crap like this, let alone buy a product it tries to sell. I guess Cheil Communications in New Delhi seriously needs to rethink about how not to make Samsung the most hated brand on the planet! As of now, they seem to be doing it very well!

Homeless Hope!

A stunning effort from Grey Worldwide for a client called "The Longest Night". This was an initiative to help homeless street children escape a life on the street. Amazing work by Art Director, Tim Holmes and Copywriter Brendon Guthrie. The campaign was also extended into Print and Radio as well. Really cool work.

Look & Find with Lojack!

A print campaign for Lojack, a stolen vehicle recovery system. Does anybody know which agency did this campaign? VIA: Luerzers Archive

Drive In Theatre!

One more print winner from the London International Advertising Festival in 2005. This one's for Volkswagon. Nice Art Direction.

Seeng a Soong Lyke Deees!

Here's a print ad I really really like! This won a metal at the London International Advertising Fest in 2005 and was done for LG Karaoke. I don't know if everybody will get it but I like it so much for the smile it brings to my face every single time I read it. Lovely work. One of those pieces that is hard to forget for me atleast!

Lisbon Mosquitoes!

A piece of print advertising from TBWA Lisbon for RAID Mosquito Repellants.

Blank Pages!

An interesting piece of work done for the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) from somewhere in India. (Ogilvy, Mumbai I think, can anybody confirm that?).

Arse-itives!

Found this really old print ad for Winston Cigarettes from the archives. Does anybody know the agency that did this work? Looks like it was done ages ago...still works though!

A Bloody Tomato!

Another bizzare print ad from South East Asia (China/Japan/Korea...I guess!). Can anybody out there help with a translation and tell us which brand this is. I quite like the art direction...captivating and memorable!

Frozen Vodka

A campaign for Stolichnoya Vodka. I don't know the agency but I think this print campaign did win a Cannes sometime last year. Can anybody confirm that??

Vroooooooooooom!

A print ad done by Rafineri, Turkey for Dekalo Metal Cast Cars. I've been noticing that Rafineri is an agency that does a lot of very clever and interesting work on many of its accounts. Does anybody know more about them?? VIA

Thinking Books

A print campaign for a bookstore named Ferin Ingle. The idea is that every page of a book leads to so much thought!

Fishing in the 21st Century!

A very intresting print campaign for Pesca, a magazine that positions itself as the "modern fishing magazine"! I personally like the visual treatment to each of these ads. They are quite nice and the way the idea blends with the traditional faces of the fisherman is also very fresh. Cool work done by Giovanni FCB in Brazil. VIA
