Violence Anywhere!

Mexico Unido is a voluntary public service organisation that helps people affected by crimes like kidnapping, mugging, theft, etc. To show citizens how vunerable they were to such attacks, they stuck life size stickers of criminals on walls in parking lots, malls, buildings, etc.

Sleep Kicking!

I like the concept of kicking sleep (i hate sleeping and eating anyways!) to have fun through the day but I kinda have my doubts whether it's such a cool idea for a brand of clothing. This would work well for maybe a Gatorade, a Red Bull or any energy or re-vitalising drink I guess.

Awake & Asleep!

To promote ROX, an energy drink, people were given eye-masks to put while asleep while open eyes were printed on the outside giving an appearance that the person is wide-awake! These masks were distributed among fast long distance trains, buses and at airports across Berlin. via

Kurkure Firestarter - JWT, Chennai Cannes Winner

This Guerilla Stunt by JWT, Chennai won them a Cannes Lion recently. Kurkure is a fried snack and they had recently launched a new masala version...to promote the snack, JWT employed pyrotechnicians who caught fire as soon as they grabbed a bite of the snack and their clothes caught fire thereby demonstrating how spicy the snack really was. Great work by Joono Simon and his team. Joono had also won a Cannes Lion last year too!

Dunkin Donuts!

A book on Pilates!

Yeti gets a Shave!

It took me like 7 seconds to understand this but once I did, I thought it was brilliant. A really cool ad from Lowe Bull in South Africa. via

Berlitz Language School

An ad for Berlitz by Scholz & Friends. Berlitz is a Language Training School in Berlin . What's the idea here? Is the ad depicting a historic visual or event of some kind? Is that 1esus carrying the cross?? If you know the idea, leave a comment. via

Dig This!

Flair (Flare) is a very famous Flemish Magazine. Available in French, Dutch and Belgian, the magazine is positioned as one that understands what's going on in a woman's mind! I love that thought by Duval Guillaume, Brussels.

It's similar to a magazine like Cosmopolitan that so many men read to understand a woman's mind! This ad shows a couple in various sexual positions with the calories burnt below them...well, interesting thought! Well, do women actually think or burning calories during sex?? via

Trippy Trippy!

Funny campaign this. The product is called WinDose!! And it's supposed to be a natural body booster from Belgium. The pack looks like shampoo! The green one I use @ home ... Garnier Fructis :) The ads are meant to show you the energy release from a product like this...pretty trippy...yes! The first ad is titled 'forest' and the second 'mountain'. All said and done, I kinda like them, quite eye catching! via

Hendrix Calling!

Thanks to Jayanarayanan, an Art Director from Watermelon Advertising in Bangalore for sending in these 2 ads for a rock pub called Purple Haze. I think the art here suits the pub perfectly and is a refreshing sight from the regular art direction we're used to seeing in day to day ads.

Mouse Pad Advertising

Paul Chan from Grey Worldwide, Hong Kong sent me this really cool mouse-pad they created for www.breastcancer.hk.org that educated women about the dangers of breast cancer and promoted the importance of early detection through self detection.

These mouse pads remind me of something similar I did about 2 years ago for a day-spa client called Oryza in Chennai, India. These mouse pads were distributed across corporate offices in the city inviting employees to relieve stress in the middle of a busy day with a massage at Oryza. Co-incidence is surely an important word in advertising today!

Alien Food!

Pizza Pie-er does have some really bizzare advertising for an eatery. Strange pyschotic combination of veggies and meat made to look like those aliens from MIB (Men in Black). The type of things that I'd never want to look at, let alone taste. I don't know if some you find these appetising but I just find them ugh!!

BBDO Guerrero Ortega >> Moving >>

BBDO Guerrero Ortega is moving office and to make the big announcement they made this cool press ad. They also have a new office that you can check out at www.bignewoffice.com but you will have to wait till the 18th of August when the builders leave...something tells me it should be worth the wait!

Can You Explain This?

This campaign by Saatchi & Saatchi, U.S.A. for 42 Below Vodka won 6 Gold Lions at the Cannes 2006. I somehow fail to understand the idea behind it. Can you explain what's the idea here??
