Gimme a Heineken!

I dont know the agency that did this but it indeed is one of the coolest innovations around. It's kinda subtle but it works like magic when it does hit you. May be a few of you could also consider it a wee bit freaky too!

Europe One 104.7 FM!

Headline: Is the war of the sexes really over?


Headline: Should we fear the Chinese?

Headline: How far will we let things go before money takes over sport?

Headline: Is religion the only thing we can't joke about?

Headline: Is France allergic to reforms?

Europe 1 is the type of radio station that isn't scared to discuss such topics - no matter how taboo.

3 Wise Men?

It's so amazing how a campaign like this can get appreciated in another country. If an Indian Brand did this, you know what they could expect from the markets! 3 Wise Men is a New Zealand Company that manufactures of shirts for men. Their print ads and metrolites featured mannequins doing real things like chundering on their way home after a big night, etc. The campaign was meant to announce 3WM's new store in High St Auckland. The agency here is Ogilvy, NZ.

Telefonica Campaign

via

The Surf Museum!

I saw these ads and the first thing I loved was their sense of Art Direction. They reminded me of the Virginia Holocaust Museum Ads and a I then found out that the AD on these ads was Christopher Gyorgy, the same dude from the martin agency who did the Virginia Holocaust Museum Ads. I definetely think both the campaigns look extremely similar and I love those so much. All said and done these ads are great too.

A Picture in Words!

Thanks to Woei Hern from Dentsu, Malaysia for sending in this ad for Canon Pixma Photo printers. Though the style is a wee bit familiar, it has been executed well. The headline reads: Paint more than a thousand words with PIXMA Photo Printers.

Levi's Girls

Do these ads for Levi's have an idea hidden in them?? Marissa, Mary Lynne & Patty Anne...any of you see something I don't?

Heinz Hot Ketchup!

Oil of Olay Anti-ageing Cream!

Red Rash!

A really cool way to promote a skin cream/medication called Desitin that prevents skin rashes especially near the buttocks. The idea here was to promote the cream by using the centrespine of magazines thereby making it more relevant to the consumer. Lovely idea. If you know the agency, leave a comment.

Dogs Are Not Toys!

If you own a pet or are an animal lover, you should really feel something when you see these ads. Are these ads doing the same??

Adidas - Forever Sport!

Shoe Mart from Dubai!

The Classic Partnership in Dubai seems to be doing a lot of great work. This is the third post in 2 weeks and this is a campaign for 'The Shoe Mart' that has broken out across the Middle East. But I may have a small worry...are they getting too alike??

Sometimes too many similar looking stuff from the same agency may not be a great thing. Look at the campaign below. Are they similar or am I just over-reacting??

Splash in Dubai!

Thanks to John Mani from The Classic Partnership Advertising, in Dubai for sending in the latest Splash Campaign that has broken out in the UAE in mainline magazines and on billboards. Like Mani tells me, the ads do have a nice sense of art direction to them. I think they are quite surreal in a way. And that is an aspect that makes them pretty interesting.

Splash is a Dubai based fashion company that was started in 1993. Over the years, Splash has given birth to several fashion brands like Zync, Nexus, Scarlet, Retro and Ms. Splash currently has 55 stores across the globe and also stocks several international brands like Kappa, Lee Cooper and Bossini amongst others.
