1. Vacuum cleaners
Made by Students from Miami Ad School. Clever way to find out how Hoover's vacuum cleaners really work.
2. Don't drink and drive
Pretty straightforward message. You get to see how your car is going to look like.
3. Ultra Slim Sony Cyber-shot T1
This is such an original and cheap idea for Sony cameras. I can imagine people pulling the strap to see if there really is something down there.
4. Band Aid: Hulk
Band Aid is showing just how flexible its fabric is in this ad. This amusing ad shows that this band-aid does not even snap on the finger of The Hulk who is at the center of this image. It works because it’s simple and it shows you all that is needed and nothing more, its flexible, so buy it!
5. Ford Germany: Do knot Forget
Obviously Ford wants you to see that wires are bad, showing us 15 different types of wired knots and then ending with an amusing quote on the bottom of the ad "Do knot forget: Bluetooth comes with every new Ford Model". This is a very smart approach, showing the consumer a common problem that they might have experienced and then giving them a solution in a very amusing way.
6. Panasonic 3D TV: Dino
Here is another ad that has a lot going on but still is able to get its message across fairly easily. We will first notice the dinosaur in the trashed living room but then see the girl pointing at the TV, which will give us the impression that Panasonic's 3D televisions are extremely realistic. The great art direction leads to the consumer understanding what product is on display almost instantly.
7. Pepsi: Straws
This clever Pepsi ad speaks volumes to the consumer; at first glance it gives the impression that Pepsi Cola is the preferred choice of even the straws. And then after that it subliminally pokes fun at one of Pepsi's competitors by using their color-way for the other can as well as their classic design. This is a very clever ad on many levels.
8. Papa John’s Pizza
Adaptation by Saatchi & Saatchi, this time in Peru.
