I have no idea what the context was here. I’m guessing it’s just a Pirate Bay fan that did this little guerrilla stunt. But I love it.
Side note: when you start using Reddit, you have to fight letting it take over your blog. I’ll try to do better and post some ‘real’ ads tomorrow.

A redditor suggest the perfect tagline for this billboard: You’ll have a ball at this year’s Testicle Festival.

Camouflage is easily one of nature’s coolest tricks. So it’s pretty cool artwork in these ads, but I don’t think they’re very good.
Copy reads: “Animals can’t be recycled. Please don’t litter.”
I don’t really get the connection here with the camo. The message is really unclear. They should have saved the camo theme for a different campaign for the zoo with a tag along the lines of: Come see them. If you can.
(Or something like that)

Here’s another awful ad for you on GCBC’s Terrible Tuesday.
First, this ad makes me think, “geez, I sure have to do a lot of fucking hand waving just to watch tv.”
Second, why the hell is the Old Spice guy there?
Third, apartment 69? Really?

Well this is insanely bad.
There are many reasons to hate this campaign, but I’ll give you this one:
They haven’t completed the task to show OTHER brands as the dirty, druggie vegetables. Really you’ve connected your branding with purposely unappealing artwork of vegetables. I’m not a psychologists, but I sure as hell know that people are usually only half paying attention to ads. To me, there is a MASSIVE danger here of connecting your brand to exactly what you’re trying to say it isn’t.

I guess this is a pretty decent campaign. The “Your mother is a star” was apparently a mother’s day ad, which really does the concept more justice.
Everybody seems to like the campaign, and I don’t hate it, but I can’t help but to feel like the copy is letting me down. It’s a client I’d die to work for (I’m a bit of a space nerd) and so maybe I’m just jealous. But I feel unmoved.

Ah, the old ad within an ad. Well this is no Hamlet, but I like it.
I like it a lot, actually.
It’s unexpected but the message is absolutely clear. I think this is good, effective advertising.

I kinda like this. I kinda like this. I kinda like this.
We all know that repetition is effective, but you’ve got to be careful not to be annoying. So instead of repeating your own message, encourage media outlets to repeat their own, and then explain the concept in the body copy.
It only works if you get HUGE buy in, but it looks like that wasn’t a problem.
