Great Ideas Spotted! - Bringing problems to the ‘light’

Taking creative media buys to a whole new level is a strategic planning in design and concept.
It isn’t common to see combinations of a well thought concept married with a well planned medium, while thoughtfully executing a meaningful message through simple and apt execution. This ad however, is one of them.

An ad by the Women’s [...]

Great Ideas Spotted! - Business in Your Face

What better way to grab attention than to send a giant business card to potential clients – a simple and straightforward but seldom used method to inconvenience your target audience. Sent by courier straight to the front desk of various corporations. To some, this effort may appear to be almost silly but is makes a [...]

Great Ideas Spotted! - Potatoes, closer than you think

A tunnel ambient by Lays chips saw real potatoes suspended from a patch of soil on the ceiling, as part of a campaign that shouted “Our potatoes are grown closer than you may think.”
We like it for its simple humour and quirky twist in execution, choosing the ceiling over the wall for the main attraction [...]

Great Ideas Spotted! - Speed Cameras for Anti-speeding Ads

Great Ideas Spotted! - Try it on, in the mirror

It is relatively rare to see fashion items take on unconventional ways to advertise especially around the mall. Making use of instinctive vanity to spot mirrors, stickers of new product shots were blown up life size and stuck on mirrors, to let passerbys “try” the clothes.
As opposed to static images or traditional storefront displays, this [...]

Great Ideas Spotted! - Dripping Juices

A good use of streetway ads are those that make full use of the medium and its surroundings. One simple example is a Orbit’s use of not just the paid adspace, but even the pole supporting it.

Great Ideas Spotted! - Escaping sounds that cry for help

As always, Amnesty International’s awareness adsĀ give this refreshingly smart appeal that is ever so simple and thought provoking.

Great Ideas Spotted! - Park at the Centre of Attention

Following the tiny leaf stuck into wing mirrors , Toyota’s iQ launches a ambient guerrilla playing on its parking ease. This time, set in Slovenia, life-sized cardboard cars were “parked” in public, printed with the tag – “Park in the centre of attention”. While such an idea is not uncommon, it is a practical solution [...]
