God & The Animal

Bizzare? This campaign by Publicis, Zurich for an animal rights organisation called ZODIAC takes a religious spin on saving lives, a spin we've seen a few times before...I've seen a 'Save the Tiger' ad with Goddess Durga sitting on nothing, I've seen someething else with Lord Ganesh too...can get sensitive but do ads like these offend you?

GOT A FLAT IDEA?

Here's a flat screen television ad by BETC Euro RSCG for Packard Bell that I don't understand at all. What's the idea here??

Hyundai Terracan

Don't these layouts for the Hyundai Terracan seem super similar to the art treatment given to the Tata Safari ads by Ogilvy & Mather? Well, they do to me!

Buzz.........zzzzzzzzzzzz!

Bathroom Singer's Kit!

As an entertaining promotional package to be sold in Musica stores in the run up to Christmas, The Jupiter Drawing Room in (South Africa) designed a Musica Karaoke Shower Curtain gift pack. It contained curtain rings, a curtain printed with lyrics of songs like “It’s Raining Men” and a microphone-shaped soap-on-a-rope!

Honest Food!

Who says you can't be honest in your Advertising. Look at how this campaign by Leo Burnett, Indonesia tells you the truth yet makes the restaurant look so great! I like this kind of approach.

Love Brands, Love Advertising!

A really nice campaign from Ogilvy & Mather, Taiwan. This was done a few years ago and I can't seem to get the exact translation of the headline. The idea is the fact that advertising makes you fall in love with the brands you buy. Very different approach here. If you can help translate the line it would be great.

W Spring Summer Collection

These 3 ads done by Rediffusion DY&R were a part of the spring summer campaign for a womens clothing brand called W. The ads also won at the New York Ad Fest a few years ago.

Sharp Knives!

Thanks to Sakib from TBWA\RAAD for sending in this ad that was done for for Global Knives in Dubai. I think the visual kinda says it all but I think I've seen something similar for Olympus but I'm not entirely sure about it! The headline reads: 'Really sharp'. A nice idea that delivers the message instantly.

No.1 & No.2

Ha Ha Ha! I'm sure this will bring an instant smile to almost everybody who reads it. It's the kind of headline that's easily likeable I guess, isn't it? Agency: Jupiter Drawing Room, South Africa

Bags, Bags & More Bags!

Oh Oh! The bags in the ad world look like they would go on and on... Here's another set of them! As the through-the-line agency for clothing retailer Foschini, The Jupiter Drawing Room was asked to develop a campaign to highlight a new range of women's handbags. The solution was to create transparent shopping bags that featured the shapes of the new range of handbags.

Zoom by Leica Ultravid

A refreshing style of execution in this campaign for Leica Ultravid. I like the interesting use of the folds in the middle of the layout to show the zoom factor of the binocular. It definetely adds to the interest valuse of these ads and also demonstrates the benefit so beautifully. Lovely work!

No Smoke & Drink!

A really clever execution to promote the launch of the first non-smoking pub in the U.A.E. My only worry remains that if this was promoting a non smoking pub then why the cigarette!??

Rich Horses!

Bamba Footwear

I like the technique used in this campaign for Bamba Shoes. I've seen a similar execution where fingerprints where used to create faces. I think Bamba is from South America but I couldn't be sure...If you know the agency or the country where these were made, do leave a comment!

Marmite Squeezy Spread

A campaign from DDB London for Marmite Squeezy Spread. It won a Cannes Silver recently. I don't entirely understand the idea here. Can you explain why any manufacturer would assume that his consumer might hate his product!

The Queens Bathroom!

I didn't quite understand these ads for Pears the minute I saw them but once I read the line below...I figured out what they meant. I somehow think these ads are not meant for the average consumer...you'd have to be a lil extra intelligent to get their meaning. Agency: The Jupiter Drawing Room, Cape Town, South Africa

Double D Ad-ventures!

Well, It's one of those extremely simple ideas that catches your attention brilliantly...just like all DD's do!

Vex as Sex!

Some of you might see this campaign and say "some copywriter tried to use vex instead of sex and thinks it's advertising" and some others might say "hey that's a clever use of the product name in a way that makes it memorable!". I personally don't think this is bad advertising...it might not be great but there's an effort of sorts. It could have been better! Unfortunately, I don't know the agency.
