Work Spaces - Is Yours A Cool One??

I guess it is extremely important for most of us to have work spaces that motivate us for they definetely have an impact on the work that's created. It could be a table tennis table converted into a boardroom table, pink chairs that scream attitude, road dividers as showpieces, race tracks and toy cars under a meeting table, a mini golf course, a huge theatre with a big LCD screen, trailors convrted into creative rooms, a restaurant ambience, a go-karting rink within the office or something absolutely outta the ordinary!

Showcased above are a few agency offices like DDB, Rethink in Canada, Subplot, Grey Worldwide, Crispin Porter Bogusky and several others that have redefined the way office spaces need to look. Each with their own attitude and style. I hope you like them! Hidden in the middle is be positive 24, my very own office...couldn't help but be a bit selfish :) If you think your office is a cool one, send in a few pics...I promise an exclusive post. Cheers!

Man Financial by 6 Inches!

Man Financial ranks amongst the world’s largest independent futures brokers, also being one of the oldest. The task of branding this legend was made easier with a history rich in tradition and culture.

The new campaign “200 years of Glory” reflects the true spirit and making of Man. An integrated campaign has given Man wide-spread recognition in India.

Fabricare Laundry!

A very simple idea that has been expressed in a very different style. I initially thought this was a campaign for a washing powder but this campaign for Fabricare, a laundry and dry cleaner talks about the abuse clothes face each day and how this can be put to an end.

The Chinese Buffet Luncheon!

Thanks to Sandeep Rajan from Fisheye Creative Solutions in Bangalore for sending in this ad for the Chinese Buffet Luncheon at Civet. I guess this is more of a perfect beer belly image, I wish this ad was for a pub but it definetely is funny and gets the message across quite interestingly.

Biffar Doors!

Airtel - Talk at just 10 Paise!

A new campaign by Rediffusion DY&R for Airtel - A telecommunications company from India. The campaign promotes their late night talk facility where subscribers can make calls for just 10 paise per minute!

NHS Erection!

There have probably been more effective ads using the erectile dysfunction theory in regards to anti-smoking advertising but this ad by AMV BBDO in UK grabs attention instantly. PS: I always thought the message of this ad was a myth to fear men into quitting...well, I know it's a reality now.

Road Roller for Kenstar!

This one is a bit of a scam but I still wonder who would look for communication on a Road Roller! This Guerilla Effort by Quadrant Communications was desired to showcase the ironing powers of the Kenstar Iron Box!

Central Square by Rediffusion, Delhi

Rediffusion DY&R, Delhi created the city's well known landmarks out of the barcode. The headline juxtaposes the visual. In the very centre of Delhi - where the parliament and presidents estate are - a new landmark comes up - Central Square, a world class business district and the capital's most coveted business address.

Sony Cybershot T7

A new effort in the never ending series of Slim Ads from all across the planet. This ad for Sony Cybershot 5.1 Megapixel Digital Camera was created by Saatchi & Saatchi, Dubai. via

HUMO Consequences!

HUMO, the Flemish Magazine has always been very experimental and interesting with all its advertising campaigns. Their last effort was mixing cultures, a campaign you can see here. Their current campaign tells viewers about the serious consequences reading HUMO can have. I think the platform is a brilliant one and can be extended across several interesting variations. Great work here.

Chloromint Ice Spec Campaign

Sanjeet Wallia from Mudra, Delhi sent in these two spec ads for Chlormint Ice from his portfolio. He'd like to know what you guys think of them. I see an idea that can be pushed further, the execution can be spruced up too. Thanks Sanjeet!

Benchmade Adventure Gear!

Swamp Stingers, Saber Clawed Bats and Fanged Giant Creepers...all a part of this bizzare campaign by Leo Burnett, Thailand for the Benchmade Brand of Adventure Gear. The promise here is that Benchmade makes the finest gear so that nothing (not even the most dangerous things on the planet) should stop you from seeking adventure.

Food From Spain - II

Here's the second campaign for Foods From Spain by Bray Leino in Bristol, UK. I think this one is more interesting than the first campaign that you can see here.

Thanks to Linda Zador from Hungary for sending this very interesting poster by Leo Burnett, Budapest to promote the online booking facility at the Katona Jozsef Theatre. It's simple, clear and striking like Linda says!
