A perfect physical manifestation of an object appearing to move but actually standing still. The visualisation is just perfect. To create this illusion they glued thousands of little pieces together, it must have taken them days to create this ambient.
Today we present you another old ad for Fedex, you can say again it’s hilarious. Why don’t they use this strategy anymore, maybe they are focussing more on B2B these days?
This ad dates back from 1981 where John Moschitta plays a fast-talking executive named Jim Spleen. The commercial was made for Federal Express, now known as Fedex. Considered to be the most award-winning commercial in the history of advertising. New York Magazine crowned it “The Most Memorable Advertisement Ever” Advertising Age ranked the ad number 11 among the top-100 advertising campaigns of the 20th century.
Sometimes you have to wait a wait for a website to load. In case of flash websites this is preceded by a loading bar. Fedex makes good use of this by promoting its own service.
On November the 9th, the Germans celebrated the 20th anniversary of the end of the famous concrete barrier also known as the Berlin wall. The German Democratic Republic (GDR) built this wall in the 1960’s that completely enclosed the city of West Berlin, separating it from East Germany including East Berlin.
After a quarter of a century, during a revolutionary wave sweeping across the Eastern Bloc, the East German government announced on November 9, 1989, after several weeks of civil unrest, that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans climbed onto and crossed the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere.
This is a print ad where DHL takes us back to those years. A man in an East German apartment unpacks a hammer, while the Berlin Wall appears through the window.
The slogan is: “Before you even think you need it.”

This is a combination of the Statue of Liberty in New York and the statue of Cristo Redentor on Morro do Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We’ve seen this concept a couple of times already, but I still like it. But like I said before, and I have to say it again, American Airlines nailed the concept!
This billboard is placed by Fedex during the rainy season in Manila. It shows how much Fedex does to keep your package clean and safe.
It also has an ‘extra’ meaning with the current flooding in the Phillipines..

Innovation uses magazine particular media form which means a piece of transparent PVC paper will be placed into a magazine and will be printed a DHL worker on both side. Therefore, when you turning the paper the worker can deliver the express mail to no matter Chinese or Japanese customers. By doing this, the fast and reliable international express mail service can be embodied.

These print advertisements are pretty good. They are not genius but there is something that makes you say nice idea to replace the real planes with paper planes.
