Con-tract Advertising?


The first ad featured above is Contract Advertising, Mumbai's nomination at Cannes 2006. The billboard below features a famous American Lung Association billboard that won several international awards including a D&AD. Co-incidence or not, your guess is as good as mine!

Reflections Unlimited!



Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi, New York

Yellow Circle from Singapore


Dentsu Young & Rubicam in Singapore made this print ad for Hachi Tei Restaurant. The headline reads "BREAKFAST SERVED DAILY". I am assuming that the yellow circle represents an egg yolk, can anybody confirm if that is the idea?

Football for Nature!

Headline: Every second commercial burning destroys an area of rainforest the size of 2 football fields. At this rate, there will be none standing in 50 years. Agency: Ad Planet Group

It could only be Heineken!

WOW! Bates in Singapore really knows how to give a bottle of beer so much attitude that it almost puts every other superstar to shame! This is probably one of the coolest campaigns when it comes to selling a bottle of beer...
Considering brands like kingfisher, fosters, carlsberg, budweiser, coors, miller light, busch, guinness, corona andso many others...which one do you think makes the coolest ads? any favourites?

mtvtvmmtvvtmmvttvmtvmvtmttvvtmmvttvm!!


Why is Marilyn Manson walking with a swan between his legs? Why is Micheal Jackson feeding a deer?? These 'mtv - made in romania' ads puzzle me! Can you explain them? via

Fitness One Corporate Campaign






Today, my agency 'be positive 24' completed 6 months. Looking back it's been a great ride. On this happy day, I felt like posting our first campaign we shot in late December 2005 even before we had an office of our own!
This campaign was targetted at encouraging the corporate community to work out. The models in this campaign were sourced from various avenues: ballet dancers, circus artists, aerobics instructors, salsa trainers and several other cool people...twas a whole lotta fun!
