Sushi Delivery!

First we see a mother sparrow delivering food to her young ones as a creative for Home Delivery at a Burger Joint, Then I see a oriental man wearin a helmet and riding a cow for Home Delivery at a Beef/Steak Joint. And now its a Pelican that is used for delivering Sushi. Anybody seeing too many variations of the same thing??

The First Scene Campaign



I really love these ads for First Scene Costumes & Hire. I do not know which agency did them but I am sure these are going to pick up quite a few metals this year. Lovely work...had me LOL the minute I saw them. If you know the agency that did them, leave a comment. via

Penny Wise!




What can you do with a penny, apparently you could do lots! Mother, NY has used the penny effectively to come up with this campaign for Virgin Mobile.

CHE Magazine!



Thanks to Tim Wellems from Duval Guillaume, Antwerp for sending in this guerilla campaign for Che. A magazine that deals with all things that most men like! Fast Cars, Bikini Clad Women, Fashion Trends, Gizmo's, etc. To know more, go here: http://www.che.be/ Additional Images: via

Target DIY






Initially I thought this was a campaign for a hardware store or something! It took me a few seconds to imagine that the client was Target. For those of you who are still curious, Target is a chain very much like Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle and Westside. But do they have stores are do they selll out of catalogues? I shall do my research!

Fresh Work from Levi's




After their Cannes winning attempt, JWT is back with a fresh new campaign for Levi's. I was pleasantly surprised because I initially thought this was an international campaign. I'm on the fence on what I think about the idea though. What are your thoughts on the same??

Absolute Sense!




Thanks to Trilokjit Sengupta from Saints & Warriors, Mumbai (dig that name!) for the Sale at the Piramyd Megastore. I really like these ads for the fresh thought they bring along. I don't know if they would drag me to the sale but they definetely ensure that I know one is going on which is the objective of course. It's amazig how good stuff gets done when you work with really tight deadlines, like he was explaining. I saw these ads and was like 'wtf does that mean??!!' and they then made sense. Lovely stuff guys, congratz!

All Men Are Slobs??



Ouch! Now I know what male bashing really feels like. Is the bottom line that all men do is eat, drink and sleep....woah, should I be offended or what? Health conscious men must be a dying league where this campaign came from! Agency: Publicis, Singapore.

Johnson & Johnson

Well, it's kinda similar to what I posted for a restaurant named Yin Yang a few days ago. Though I really like the way the idea is more relevant here. Thanks for the ad, Jayanarayanan!

Adidas does a Nike??!!


Well, the egg or the chicken? It's that question that we're asking again. Click here and you will see exactly the same campaign above for NIKE! A campaign that just won a Cannes Lion.
TBWA, India did the above campaign for Adidas and the agency claims that both campaigns were done at the same time! Now is this a copy or is it just simulataneous thought...you'll never know! But all said and done it's a bizzare thought to see 2 global giants and largest rivals have exactly the same advertising...Jeez!

Curtains From New Zealand

Thanks to Chris Hunter for sending in the latest ambient campaign from Draft New Zealand. It’s an installation that’s gone up in shopping malls for Curtain Bank, a charity that is sponsored by one of our main clients, the power utility company Genesis Energy. The image of the child’s bedroom was behind a real window frame, revealing the uncomfortable reality of some homes in poorer parts of New Zealand.

The copy on the plaque reads: Nobody deserves this kind of exposure.
Curtains don’t just keep out prying eyes, they keep out the cold. Far too many Waikato families freeze because their homes are without curtains. So please, donate your old curtains and give warmth to a needy family.

Pedigree Underdog


Thanks to Sakib Afridi from TBWA\RAAD in Dubai for sending in this ad for Pedigree Dog Food. As most of us know, it was just announced that the planet Pluto has lost it's status as a planet. TBWA quickly took the opportunity to do an ad for Pedigree dog food. Also, the global tagline for Pedigree is: "We're for dogs". TBWA added a little twist there as well and made it "we're for underdogs too".
