VW Van - Xtra Spacious!

A really cool guerilla idea for VW vans by Ogilvy, South Africa. It involves a person pretending to be an airport chauffeur thereby showing you how many guests “could fit” in the van. via

Concordia Piglets!

Absolutely shocking, scary, disturbing at times and very very effective. I think this effort for Concordia Children's Services in Phillipines is simply stunning! Great work by Y&R!

FIAT:: Cars on a Mission!

EPCOR Power Play!

Epcor is a utilities company that deals with power & water. This poster series is going around elementary schools around Alberta, Canada reminding kids not to play around with electricity. I think it might be OK for the kids but if this was a campaign that was targetted at the general public, I'd have to say it comes across as forced!

4 News Photo-Mosiac Campaign!

A new technique attempt by Ogilvy, Stockholm in Sweden for 4 news, a TV News Station. I think the technique used here is called Photo-Mosaics. Has this technique been used very widely already?? I can't seem to think of any great work or campaigns using the technique. Can any of you recollect anything similar that was great??

The Bigger The Mess!!

There are a few visuals that make your stomach churn and drain the blood of your face, here's probably one. Shocking and impactful enough to make you think. If I saw this on a billboard, it would scare the shit out of me for quite a while. The impact is absolutely terrific...the next time your at the wheel, take it easy. Superb work by Clemenger BBDO!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWENTY-FOUR!

Exactly a year ago, I started twenty four as a small way to share my passion for advertising and communication with the world. Today a year later it has become an integral part of my life. Over the year it has given me immense pleasure and I really cherish the fact that something that I cannot feel, touch, smell or taste means so much to me.

On this happy occassion I would like to thank the hundreds of people who've written in saying how much they enjoy twenty four. Thanks to all the people who have supported me, sent in work and suggested improvements. It is you guys who keep this site going. A major revamp is on the cards very soon (a new re-vamped site, interviews from advertising gurus across the world, opinion polls, a brand new TVC archive, student ads, posts with tags and sections and lots more) and this I hope will be something you all will enjoy.

And what a lovely co-incidence that twenty four touches 200,000 hits today! I am overjoyed. Keep coming back, send in those mails and those suggestions...they mean more than you can ever imagine. Thanks again...here's a toast to celebrate one year of communication from across the world. Cheers!

The Times of Diwali!

A wee bit late but still interestting...it clearly looks like packaging of Diwali Crackers were the core theme of several agencies across India. After I saw Mudra use it to promote a series on HBO and Saints & Warriors do a campaign for Piramyd Mega-Store, here's another ad for the Times of India that has exactly the same treatment to it. The agency here is 'Shop' that is run by the ad duo of Freddy Birdy & Naved Akthar. Have you seen more of these kind of ads??

Halloween Menu @ Pizza Hut!

I think this is a superb effort by Ogilvy & Mather, Hong Kong to promote the new Halloween Menu at Pizza Hut. Very clear, interesting and bang on the point. Definetely a winner all the way! via
