Volkswagen: Clown

Posted by Sander Janssen on February 26, 2010 2 comments

Volkswagen keeps introducing innovations in their cars. One of their new assistance systems is called ‘Lane assist’. It alerts a driver when he is deviating from the road, a problem usualy caused by tiredness. The clown in this ad is just perfect, it looks like it’s been done by Stephen King himself.

Colun light yoghurt: Exercise bike

Posted by Sander Janssen on February 22, 2010 No comments yet

Everyone knows this ‘problem’ with women. They want to lose some weight and decide do start exercising, off course running outside just won’t do it so they want an expensive home trainer. And after 3 weeks the thing is just standing there. The only purpose they can find for it now is by using it to hang their clothes and accessories. This print summarizes all this perfectly, the editing is a little off though.

Jeep: parking space

Posted by Sander Janssen on January 15, 2010 No comments yet

This is a pretty old outdoor campaign for Jeep. They’ve created these fake parking spots in the Centre of Copenhagen, illustrating you can park your Jeep on all kinds of terrain. I think if they did this campaign now they would have a lot of SUV ‘haters’ complaining.

LG: Big laundry

Posted by Sander Janssen on January 2, 2010 2 comments

LG promotes their new 11Kg capacity washing machine as the next big thing. In this spot we see people in a busy city staring at certain things as if they’ve seen a ghost. In the end it appears to be just laundry hanging to dry, but the size of this laundry is quite extraordinary.

Good is Short

Posted by Bert Callens on December 20, 2009 No comments yet

This is a nice way to promote a short festival. With their slogan ‘Good is Short’ they searched for the good things in life: Love, Sex and Holidays. With a simple chart they made their point.
And actually, they’re right..
