BMW Driving!



Headline: You never really stop driving a BMW. Agency: Unknown

Lord of War - Guerilla

A cool guerilla idea to promote the 2005 movie 'LORD OF WAR' starring Nicholas Cage and Directed by Andrew Niccol. The idea was executed at Video/DVD Rental Stores across Brazil. via

COJAK for MEN!


An interesting, bold and different approach to selling clothing by COJAK from Sweden. I guess these ads remind me of the men will be men campaign for a liquor brand in India, only that the expressions there are more typically male habits, typical male reactions to a good looking woman, etc while they are more radical and might put off a few people here!

Bishops Finger Ale!





These ads for Bishops Finger Strong Ale are a racy mix of suggestive headlines, revealing clothing and a good treatment/imagery considering that Bishops Finger is one of the oldest British Breweries. I guess the product is as great as the women are! via

A Head Hunterz Bag!

Looks like the bags just keep coming one after the other again and again and again and again and again! This one is for a head hunter called The Career Builders from Ukraine. The agency involved is Leo Burnett. Thanks to Max Gladwell for sending this in.

Levi's Carbon Pressed Denim



After the tremendous success of their stick figure campaign, JWT India has come up with 2 more campaigns for Levi's. This latest effort is for their range of Carbon Pressed Denim. To see their previous campaign go http://sandeepmakam.blogspot.com/2006/09/fresh-work-from-levis.html

KODAK Rechargable Batteries!



Yet again a campaign from South Asia, this time it's Ogilvy & Mather, Malaysia that's coming up with the most refreshing and a slightly bizzare (I guess the Indian Word for it is 'haatke')campaign. I love these ads for Kodak Rechargable Batteries. A brilliantly executed campaign that we can surely expect to see at every ad fest very soon. To see more campaigns for batteries go here or here!

Duracell Guerilla - Ogilvy, Delhi




Over-sized models of Duracell batteries were fitted in the boot space available behind passengers vehicles (bus, van, autorickshaw etc.). As they commuted daily through the city, it gave the impression that the vehicles were powered by Duracell.

Product: Duracell >> Agency: Ogilvy & Mather, New Delhi >> Country: India >> Creatives: Emmanuel Upputuru (Creative Director) >> Abhinav Pratiman (Copywriter) >> Rishi Chanana (Art Director)

Parisloft Whites!


Two cool ads for Parisloft Dental Clinic in Montreal, Canada where the corporate philosophy is "we hate yellow"!

Martial Arts Week - NGC



In order to promote the Martial Arts Week by the National Geographic Channel (NGC) - a series of documentaries about the surprising Martial Arts – a press kit constituted by a brick, a black belt and a leaflet was sent to the press and media buyers with information about the series and the programme schedule. The press kit defies whoever opens it to try and break the brick, making that person feel like a true Martial Art Master.
For the final consumer several Street Campaigns were made:
Promoters were placed in strategic spots in the city of Lisbon. The flyers also directed the people for the on-line quiz made by the Martial Arts Week sponsor Wilkinson brand.
About 150 black belts and flyers were placed in different supports throughout the city of Lisbon. Each team of promoters was constituted by two fighters who trained with each other and by a third who distributed the flyers explaining the reason for that make-believe combat.
Thanks to Hugo Tornelo from Torke Stunt, Lisbon for mailing this in.

BRAVIA - Colorrs Come Alive!




First it was the refreshingly lovely television commercials that we all wished we had made and now BRAVIA is back in print and outdoor too. These ads are so trippy, you could be on a roller coaster ride by just staring at them in deep concentration. Lovely work by EURO RSCG in Argentina. via

The return of the Zombies!!








They are back, and this time they promise to bring alive your worst advertising nightmares. Welcome to round 2 of this extended saga of senseless communication effort by Eastpak. I don't know if some of you do find some justification in these ads, buut they are as stupid to me as they always were. If you're curious to see more of these, go here.

Hazeline - Rise & Fall!

Two ads for a brand of shampoo called Hazeline. The first ad is for their variant that makes your hair stronger and the second is for a variant that promises smooth, silky hair. A great way to show the individual benefits with the same idea! If you know the agency, leave a comment!

d-CON Rat N Mice Killer!



A nice and funny campaign for a Rat and Mice Killer called d-CON. I've definetely seen something very similar before. Can't seem to recollect where though!
Agency: EURO RSCG, New York, USA >> Creative Director: Rocky Pina, Larry Silberfein >> Art director: Vladislav Ivangorodsky, Marcin Markiewicz >> Copywriter: Marcin Markiewicz, Vladislav Ivangorodsky >> via
