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

The world of Tea - Epica 2004
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” viaMonday, September 11, 2006

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?Saturday, September 09, 2006

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.Thursday, September 07, 2006
