Saw this unique ad and thought it kind of cool.

Mr. Clean

I think its funny that they have an advertisement for a cleaning product on a dirty NY street.

I like the soccer on because it is bold. I agree with Kristy, that the adidas doesn’t jump out enough.

The one that hits me first is the Cingular Ad. The design of the billboard causes me to follow the “calls” down to the ground. It very simply gets it’s point across - we all “get” the dropped calls theory!

The company name is clear. And the size makes it visible to a large number of folks (as long as it’s on a busy street I suppose!).

Merrill - what a fun post! Add my vote for Cingular. As for the Adidas ad, I wonder how many accidents it caused.

Stephanie - Love the Chickfila ads too. For those not from Atlanta there are supporting radio ads. Wonderful campaign that is a great example of something that has worked for years.

I would love to know where that Mr. Clean ad is in NYC — I don’t think I have ever seen so few people in a cross walk in NYC during the day. And speaking from experience, I don’t think enough people would see this ad in NYC — though might do well in other cities and it is clever.
I agree with Jennifer — soccer ad much too “in your face”. Cingular ad gets my vote. I like the Bic ad, but from what we see, can’t tell who’s product it is.

I like the Bic razor the best. There is something very “conceptual art” about it that I like. But, as someone else mentioned, the Bic logo should be more apparent.

My second choice would be the Adidas Soccer ad- hard to miss, very creative.

My third choice is the Mr. Clean- having spent a little time walking in NYC, I think this would make a positive impression again and again.

Nate,

Thanks for your email. A number of them were sent to me by industry contacts.

I just googled creative advertising pictures and a number of sites came up with pot’s of great creative pictures - many of which i have never seen.

I hope that helps.

I like the Cingular ad, by far the most dramatic. Great Ad.

I like the Mr. Clean ad - simple but eye-catching. I don’t like the Adidas ad, it’s a little too obnoxious for me. The karate add is cute, but I don’t know how many people would actually notice the crack in the street.
