Taxi, Canada... these are great.

Headache?


Puerto Publicidad in Chile came up with this simple idea. Keep an eye out for the campaign.

Bentley tells it like it is


Reminds me of that classic ad, "If you can't afford it young man, turn the page."

Integrated YouTube Video Advertising

Here's how Google plans to monetize YouTube by running ads before clips. Pretty clever of them.

Learn to speak English

I loved the "What are you ... sinking about?" ad by Berlitz, a language firm that does well when it comes to catching extra-lingual inconsistencies and showcasing them.

We haven't seen anything since, but I think they held onto the trigger until they could perfect something equally wry. And they succeed with not one but three new ads, the first of which is "Ken Touched This," a play on how language in pop songs gets manipulated by the eager chanteuses of non-natives - with awkward results.

Travel Corporation India




Some really brilliant art direction from Grey Worldwide in Mumbai.

Peek-a-boo


Bustop is a lingerie shop. I love the cheekiness of this ad (See what I did there?)

Even bad copy deserves to look good


Thank you Grey Worldwide India. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Kids and guns don't mix


This is an old ad, but the message is still as powerful today as it was back then.

Mini Oreos


I know I carry on about simplicity all the time, but just look at this great ad from DraftFCB, New York, USA.

War orphans




A campaign so simple it balances on the edge of obviousness from Kolle Rebbe, Germany.

Great headlines




I love the look of these ads by Colour, Canada.
