Clever ads from past to present from around the world, alongside brilliant wordplay, that entertain, move, anger, excite, confuse, impress, shock, amuse and most of all inspire, all of which I couldn't resist sharing.
Cut Above The Rest
The conception behind these ads is so much better than the execution of these ads. I really want to like them but I'm struggling to do so. They were created for Soho Hair Design by Miami Ad School in São Paulo, Brazil. They are almost too simple, but I think it's an excellent conception, and they, wait for it, certainly cut to the chase. It displays the benefits of using this service very well, I just think they could have used a lot better copy. You Look Funny is fine, but what the hell does She'll Kiss You Off even mean? I suppose it could be a Brazilian saying, but these ads are in English. My understanding is that they really couldn't think of any other executions and Kiss resembles Piss, and they thought "That'll do." I honestly believe that these ads could be really great if a little more time and dedication was given to them.

ReplyDeleteI wish I could, Anonymous; I wish I could.
ReplyDeleteThinking about it, this ad would be better suited for a hairdresers
ReplyDeleteSoho Hair Design is a hairdressers. Granted it's in Brazil, but from my extensive knowledge of hairdressing establishments from across the globe, it definitely is one. (I Googled it).
ReplyDeleteSo they do brazilian hair stuff?
ReplyDeleteI think you might be focusing on the word Brazilian too much. It's a hairdressers based in Brazil. NOT a Brazilian hairdressers.
