Pashley: Cycling With Dignity!



The Dinosaurs Are Back!

The British Army: Be The Best!



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??

Stick it In Here Ads?



I've been seeing a lot of these ads where one sticks a coin in for one reason or the other. From Madrid to Johannesburg to everywhere...looks like the next big medium! Have you seen any more of these? Drop in a comment and lets see how many more there are.

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.

Thanks to Jonas Keller from JVM in Germany for sending in this. I'm sure there's nothing like a nice big smile, especially when you go to visit your dentist. I know how most people find it particularly painful :)

Swedish Horseracing Championships!




Thanks to Mark Ardelius for sending in this print campaign for the Swedish ATG. The campaign created by Akestam Holst in Sweden features some really nice photography. The campaign is also on television via a series of commercials that were produced by Camp David and directed by Adam Berg (former Stink) and shot by Mattias Montero (He won a Bronze Lion '06 for Toyota with Hakuhodo) on location in N.Z. Go here to take a look at them.

IDBI Education Loans!

A really well thought and very well art directed ad for the Education Loans Facility from IDBI Bank. The idea of using currency notes has been done several times but what is refreshing is the fact that it looks fresh here. Nice work from Bates Enterprise in Mumbai.

Kia 2500!



Thanks to Alex Strimbeanu for sending in this campaign for Kia Motors. The company launched its utility car, Kia 2500, in Romania very recently. Because of the budget limitations, the campaign showcased its main benefit: the cargo space, in a simple, low cost and efficient way.
