Olimpiadele Comunicarii!

Olimpiadele Comunicarii is the largest communication contest in Romania for students. Here they can show to real professionals from PR and Advertising that they are good enough to be hired in their agencies.

The Cha Cha Char Wine Bar & Grill in Brisbane, Australia prides itself to be the best steak restaurant in the whole of Australia and this campaign for them attempts to communicate that fact.

Radical Ducati!

Radical Ducati is a body kit that allows one to change the look and feel of the Ducati 749/999. This campaign to promote the same was created under severe budget constraints and I think the art here is pretty interesting.
