The Chinese Cartwheel!

Freddy Birdy & Naved Akhtar created this campaign when they were at Mudra several years ago. The duo now have their own advertising agency called 'The Shop' in New Delhi. This campaign won a lot of awards at several fests and is also featured in the Indian Copy Book.

Would you really believe that a campaign like thise would work today? If you really do, then why do we see such less advertising with long copy or even ads dominated by copy these days...a visual and a line seems to be the norm almost everywhere! via

Wall's Winner - Epica 2004

A 6 ad campaign that won at Epica 2004. I love the treatment of using CD Covers to showcase something like an Ice Cream, it makes me interested in knowing more!

The world of Tea - Epica 2004

A campaign that won at Epica 2004 a few years ago. It's an idea that has been repeated several times ever since. I saw something similar this morning too. If you know the agency that did this, leave a comment.

Guerilla Ads for Piano Classes!

Blood Bags!

Yet another shopping bag idea!! These were created to encourage people to donate blood. The headline on the bag reads 'Saving a life is as easy as going shopping.' The words “give blood” in Mandarin are slang for “going shopping” via

Cannes 2004 Flashback - Dual Harley!

I was running through the Cannes Archives and found both these ads amongst the Winners in the Press and Outdoor Category. The first ad for Harley Davidson Test Drives was done by Loducca Publicidade Ltd in São Paulo. While the second ad that has almost exactly the same idea was done by Ogilvy and Mather South Africa in Johannesburg. Kinda weird, isn't it?

Cannes 2004 Flashback - Hutch by Ogilvy

A rewind to the Cannes Lions in 2004 where Ogilvy & Mather was one of the four Bronze Lion Winners from India in the Press & Outdoor Category for this Public Service campaign done for Hutch. The Public Service Ads were aimed at discouraging people from using their cell phones while driving.

Big News, Small Size!!

I really think these ads for Welt Kompakt, a newspaper from Germany really rock! A brilliant idea that is well executed, to perfection one could say. It's going to be a long time before I could get them out of my senses! Unfortunately I don't know the agency that did these...if you do, please leave a comment.

Everybody Can Fly!

This one reminded me of Air Deccan, an Indian Airline because they have more or less the same positioning. But I don't know if GOL is really the common man's airline with a tagline that's similar!

Faber Castell Again!

Another campaign for Faber Castell that was sent in by Michael Rudnicki. I like this one better. It has a stronger idea and is more effective in conveying how good these pencils actually are.

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.
