Not Shy Cashmere!

What are these ads about and what kind of a headline is 'Women's Clothes For Man Warming?' What really surprises me is that the Creative Director behind this campaign is Anne De Maupeou who has some brilliant campaigns like Pepsi, Mercedes, Ikea, Mars and Kookai to her credit. May be these are very region specific ads. Is there a deeper idea behind these ads??

Transport for London!

In these days of visual advertising and diminishing attention spans, it is hard to come across a copy campaign and even if you do, the chances of it being great are slim. Perhaps we've lost the art of writing well or perhaps nobody has the time. Here's a campaign for the London Transport Department by a few students from the Miami Ad School in USA. Nice work here. The only problem might be the font which is hard to read at times and a few typos here and there. But I like the effort behind this. Quite a good read.
