100% Scam of the Year!

Scam! One word that every creative person has come across at some point of his or her career! Come on, we all do it! But then, what's really irritating is that really sad ideas like this are exected as real work! Finding leaves from different trees and putting them in the middle of a magazine isn't great work! Hell, it isn't even good work.

And come on, does the team at Ogilvy really want us to believe that they went around the jungles looking for leaves and branches! Crap...move on and try something that's more convincing next time...these are really so dumb...yes, they do suck as much as Kotex does!

Axe Down Under!

Well, well, well, look what we have here! After successfully satisfying the dreams of millions of men across the planet, Axe is back to give you the ultimate orgasm with "Axe Underwear"! Now that's something new! I wonder if these will work too? Well, ideally they should...but would you by Axe Undies just coz they made good deo's??

Anyways, check out this really cool TVC by Axe for their Underwear done by BBH (Bartle Bogle Hegarthy)...I really enjoyed watching this one! Kinda cool! VIA: coloribus

Loozah?? ewww!


A fruit juice named Looza?? Why would anybody name their drink that?? Well, your guess is as good as mine! And by the way, if you notice you'd see people getting scared of the fruits following them...are they not supposed to enjoy the taste that follows them instead of being scared or freaked out. This campaign left me pondering! What do you think...anything similar??

Bold Moves By Ford



A very different way to sell cars. This campaign for Ford has some interesting body copy and a very different line of entry. VIA: adsoftheworld

Not for Adults!

I like this cute ad for Millets, a manufacturer of childrens clothing. This print ad promotes their all new Summer Collection!

Pure Extasy!




Here's more...a campaign targetted towards gays and lesbians for extasy...a dildo manufacturer (i hope i'm right)! pretty graphic this one...I wonder how many countries allow advertising like this. This one was done by Y&R, Argentina!

Licence to Screw!


Woah! A super bizzare campaign for Peter Kim Jewelry. Tell you what, I think I'm gonna go buy some of the jewelry from here...I can imagine that being the licence to have a whole lot of fun!!

Do Not Adjust Your Monitor!



Nope. There isn't a porblem with this post or your monitor. This is how the world can look like if your are a victim. This campaign was done by APAV and the copy reads as follows:
"November 25th, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. As you can't feel what they feel, see what they see.
The agency is JWT Lisboa. VIA: Elmaaltshift

Pollution Control




A campaign for the Pollution Control Board of Singapore done By Fallon, Singapore. I like the one with cupid the best amongst the three. VIA

Creative Criminal!

A very Interesting Business Card for Melvin. A hacker, entrepreneur, and all around mischief maker, he wanted something he could give to peers and prospective clients that spoke of this nature. A lockpick concept was chosen very early on, and the post production results were excellent. The picks can quite easily be removed from the card and are entirely functional as lockpicks.
This cool idea was done by Jeni Mattson. Check out more work out here

Bus-Vertising!!



Well, these buses are going all the way to ad-land! Nice work and a stunning example of how to do it interestingly and more importantly cost-effectively. Lovely...

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!
