INOVA Torch!




This campaign for INOVA by Ogilvy & Mather, Thailand was a press winner at Cannes. I find it a wee bit bizzare but it does grab my attention due to that. I wonder what were the other frames they thought of before settling on these!

A Wilkinson Shave!



Yes, this campaign by JWT, Paris won a Silver Lion in the Outdoor Category. I like the fact that these ads look funny and also deliver the message of how precise the razor is. I wonder if anybody wants to co-ordinate their facial hair with their clothes though!

Cannes Young Creatives '06




The four ads above are from Argentina (Bronze), Poland (Gold), New Zealand (Silver) and Finland (Bronze) respectively. They are all winners of the Cannes Young Creatives Contest. The brief this year was to create a print advertisement to motivate the public to support the ICRC or the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Society either through donations or volunteer service.
I personally like the ad from Argentina that won a Bronze. I think most will prefer another one! Overall I feel that this years 'Young Gun' Winners are a drop from the regular high standards from the years before.

Amnesty International



Energizer Fatso!

This poster for Energizer done by Naga DDB, Malaysia was the winner of a Merit Award at the One Show. I really like it because it delivers the message and is funny at the same time. Notice the interesting use of a fat kid!

Durex @ the Cannes!

Patli Galli - Hindi Ad!

I really don't know how many of you appreciate ads in Hindi but if you do, you'll find this great! It talks about December and what happens in Indian Advertising Agencies at that time. By the way, does anybody know which agency did this?

:: TBWA ::

I know, I know! It loked so much like the PS2 ad that I almost skipped it from my mail box! Well, thisis actually an average idea made to look superb with good art direction and some great photography! I think it's a good attempt at self promotion.

IWC Big Watch

Now, that's an absolute beauty of an idea done by Copywriter, Susanne Härtwig and Art Director, Simon Hiebl from Jung von Matt/Alster. Pictures of the Big Pilot's Watch are attached to the straps in buses enabling commuters to easily try it on the way to the airplane. Simply brilliant!

Give us your BLOOD!

Tim Yang from Dentsu, Malaysia sent me this ad done by few of his mates for a blood bank. I think it's an idea I have seen before but I am not very sure! Nonetheless, Nice work!
Copywriter: Woei Hern >> Art Director: KC Aui >> Creative Director: SP Lee >> Agency: Dentsu, Malaysia

The Condom Store!


2 really bold posters for the condom store that tell you what to do if it is the end of the world. The second poster reminds me of another poster done earlier with instructions in case of a flight emergency...can't recollect which brand though! If anybody knows the agency that did these, leave a comment!

Kill Bill in the Elevator!

Old is Gold - Cannes Winner!




Dinopolis!

Cannes Print Grand Prix '06

This was the ad that won the Print Grand Prix at Cannes '06. Another let down! I don't even know how many of us will see the Submarine there...did you? All said and done, I don't think this deserved the Grand Prix, there were so many others ads that were brilliant!



This is a poster campaign that Blattner Brunner did for a toy store in Pittsburgh. And yes, it was done before the Grand Prix Print winner featured above!

Apollo Tubeless Tyres by JWT, India

As simple as simple can get! This is again great stuff by JWT, India. Winner of a Merit award at the One Show and a nomination at Cannes 2006 too!
