Doritos has it in the bag!

I think the new ad campaign surrounding the newest flavour of doritos is great and gets the fans in touch with the brand. The idea here is to taste the new flavour, then, because it has no name yet, to name the flavour. Then with that name, create a television commercial to promote it. Fans have the ability to become the 'Doritos Guru' and win $25, 000, plus 1% of future Canadian sales.. How crazy is this.

AIDS ad campaign
























Yes we've all seen them. They're horrific in every sense of the word. But, honestly, it really makes you think.

No No's in school:

So for the upcoming students of advertising.. NEVER puts ads (campaigns) in your portfolio about condoms, hot sauce, or any kind of condiment (i.e. ketchup, mustard etc). People have seen that done by students time and again.

Advertising quote by Leo Burnett

"I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death."

SAMSUNG - "Let music fill your head"




















































I really enjoy this ad campaign.. "Let music fill your head" .. With the people used, it's a great way of portraying music taking over the evil.
Well done, nicely executed!

Nike always does it best.

This was an interactive billboard in which the passersby can walk or run on the enclosed treadmill. For every kilometer run, Nike will donate a certain amount to UNICEF.

What Women Want













This is an image from a movie from 2000 called 'What Women Want'. Mel Gibson plays the main character who works for an Advertising agency. This picture is from a scene when he is trying out products for the opposite sex, trying to get the feel for what women think when using these things; panty hose, wax, wonderbras, etc. I think it's a great movie and really shows a fun side of what advertising can be like.
