Creative Criminals

Goodby, Silverstein & Partners created 3 print advertisements for Google with the tagline: “maybe the best ads are just answers”.

Seven amazing creative print advertisements have been made by Jung von Matt for Lego. With the tagline “image” you have the figure out the different characters from TV series all made with simple Lego blocks.

Photographer Bjoern Ewers directed this creative advertising campaign for the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra that shows beautiful views of the insides of various instruments. Shot using a macro lens, each one looks more like a giant music hall than a musical instrument. Thank you Jur Heyboer for the tip.

The ads appeared on four consecutive pages. LEGO is a company that has fostered imagination, invention and creativity for over 60 years. So it is unusual for these ads to feature only long copy with minimal imagery. However, upon reading each of these scenarios the ad comes to life in a way that is unique only to the reader and how they see these playtime scenarios in their mind’s eye. The fourth ad in the series, “Yellow Brick” features a notepad with the tagline “Every LEGO brick tells a story. Build yours.”

These three print advertisement were made for Ikea, promoting their sales up to 40%. Tagline that goes along: “Sales up to 40%. You can get more.”

These four print advertisements were made for the bookshops Filigranes in Belgium. They want to know why people read and by telling them, they can win vouchers. Tagline that goes along is: “And you, why do you read?

This campaign made for Swiss Life, an insurance company makes great use of copy. These are saying that can change life in seconds, so better be flexible. Tagline that goes along: “For all life’s twists and turns.
Flexible financial plans.”

Sex sells, whoever doubts that should open the advertising-history book. JBS the clothing store, used the XXX-factor again in their latetst commercial. The ending with the adolescent craving to buy one of the boxershorts is hilarious.
Cheap or just smart?

Hogle Zoo in Utah is promoting Zooassic Park, a display running from May 14 to August 31, featuring 13 life-like animatronic dinosaurs scattered throughout the zoo grounds.
