Singapore’s National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) released its latest campaign in June before the start of the 2014 soccer World Cup. And while this ad is supposed to make you realise that gambling is problematic, now that Germany won the world cup, the story has a different meaning!
I stumbled upon a Leo Burnett + McDonald’s ad celebrating the latest award they received at Cannes for the Creative Marketer of the Year. The visual entitled ‘Fryworks’ shows fireworks made of McDonald’s fries. It directly reminded me of a Barilla new year ad I posted on my Facebook page some time ago! The resemblance is striking. […]
JCDecaux is one of, if not the, leading company for out-of-home advertising. They just launched new digital features and billboard technologies and their office in Belgium wanted to make big local advertisers aware of those new services. BBDO Belgium came up with a great campaign for JCDecaux: They sent unpaid invoices to big brands who already placed ads […]

That experience for which they get a bunch of people who don’t know each other, assign couples and ask them to kiss for the first time.

Four Seasons Condoms, recently launched its Get Naked campaign that has reportedly been banned from TV airing by the local (Australian) authorities for being “too sexy”. The TV spot basically shows a young couple purchasing condoms in a pharmacy when the sales team invite them to try the condoms before buying them. After an in-store […]
You may have seen the video of those three French girls grabbing random guys’ balls on the street to raise funds for male cancers research. Well, apparently few years ago, in 2011, some advertisers went further to raise awareness about this same cause. Maybe a bit too far. This beautiful female model, Rhian Sungden, starts […]
I was checking out a series of Allianz Life Insurance ads and was struck by the similarity with Exotica’s Mothers Day ads campaign. Exotica is a Lebanese flower specialist and they launched in 2008 a successful campaign for Mother’s day entitled “For the good and the bad, thank you Mom”. After the local community expressed […]
After the LG Ultra Reality TV prank that looked a bit fake, the South Korean company did a new “prank” to promote its new smartphone the LG G2. A huge box placed somewhere in France pushes you to place your phone to improve its performance. Suddenly, you see a weird guy in a box totally […]
