Creative advertising that makes you look twice

Advertisements usually have a negative connotation associated with them and because of this most people don't like taking the time look at and even read advertisements. The good news is, not all advertisements are bad and some companies have taken the time to design some very clever advertising campaigns.

When advertising is at its' best - as it is in these examples - it is just as much art as anything else. Perhaps indeed the best art, with the message cleverly inside the image.

Amazing! :)

The Rooster, October 19, 2006

A shame that advertising isn't always like this... The least they could do is be entertaining.

Clyde Fernandes, October 19, 2006

OffBeatMammal, October 19, 2006

nice way to start the day. really after making me happy

Good is not a word about advertisement, this ads just fun, not good.

Frank, October 20, 2006

Neil, that was metacommunication. The ads are compelling, but so is the way you presented them. That was cool in its own right. And you made me look twice!

matt keogh, October 20, 2006

thanks for this - great post. Really been enjoying your feeds.

Neil Patel, October 20, 2006

thienzbuatreg, sent the pictures.

Michael Martine, October 20, 2006

Those were great, except the tampax one with the sharks is probably the most offensive thing I have ever seen. Message? Women are dirty and unclean. Menstruation is dirty and unclean. As a woman, you should be afraid. You are in danger simply because you are a woman. Disgusting.

Abhilash, October 20, 2006

Nice work, Neil. I love the way you incorporated the del.icio.us slideshow. wanna grab a drink at pubcon?

Neil Patel, October 20, 2006

Abhilash, would love to grab a drink at pubcon with you. Send me an email when you get a chance or fill out the contact form.

Thanks

Chris Sandberg, October 20, 2006

Cool Ads. Thanks!

Roberto Bandini, October 20, 2006

Wow! Great!

don, October 21, 2006

I (like) these ads ;)

MJ, October 22, 2006

Very Cool indeed

Pandora, October 30, 2006

To Martine: I think the message is that Tampax absorbs so well that even sharks won't smell the blood in water. Get it? It isn't all that deep.

Thanks, Neil. Great compilation!

Nate Moller, January 6, 2007

Wow! Very creative advertising. Branding at it's best. Can you send me these pictures too for use as examples of branding for my clients? Thanks
