Can Smash

JCDecaux_Road_Safety_Car_Crash_ibelieveinadv

Pretty cool, I guess. Think I’d have rather seen the Heineken can smashing into an unsuspecting pedestrian or perhaps a cross-walking puppy. Fingers crossed for next time. Agency: Euro RSCG, Israel CCO: Ben Sever Copywriter: Oded Nadir AD: Alejandro Feldman

Eye Candy Friday

Some pretty CGI ads for something, agency unknown. Whatever. Is it Saturday, yet?

Read this discreet British spy ad

MI6

(via) The recruitment piece was recently placed in some English papers, and it is wicked awesome. Long live the long copy. For those of you that didn’t have good parents, MI6 is the British Secret Intelligence Service, AKA, Her Majesty’s Secret Service, AKA, JAMES FUCKING BOND. Where do I sign up?

Like a well-worn welcome mat

hiv_places_man

Ah yes, another “check-in” ad. I prefer this drunk driving one. But staring at peoples’ crotches is fun, too. I think they could’ve bumped up girly’s number. She looks like she’s in her mid-twenties; 20 kills is the 2012 equivalent of being a virgin. Bonus points to the photographer for insisting on a transclucent brassiere. Agency: …

Puppy Love

aila_dogxxx02

More sweet, tender doggy loving for you here on Marketing Man as the v-day revelry continues. This one’s a real mood setter; when it comes to canine swinger sessions, it’s paramount that one of those pups has had his balls cut off. At least that’s what the headline says. So, if you’re the photographer on …

Love Sausage

Valentine’s Day ad for – you guessed it – a sausage place in Calgary. Oh yes, they went there. That bun looks a little dry. Agency: WAX, Calgary Canada CD: Joe Hospodarec AD: Hans Thiessen Copywriter: Shannon King

Here’s the most disgusting Valentine’s ad I’ve ever seen

Wilkinson_Smooth_Valentines_Day_ibelieveinadv

It’s a men’s razor, so I guess you could just accuse me of having my mind in the gutter. But the word “upkeep” takes me to a place that’s south of the border. Equal parts unsettling and clever. Hope you’ve all got your chocolate boxes and broken dreams ready for the big day tomorrow! Agency: …

When in doubt, jump out of a plane

Teacher

The headline, sort of hidden, reads “Leave your problems behind”. Cool POV. I once entertained the thought of sky diving for about 180 seconds before snapping out of it. Agency: ageisobar, São Paulo, Brazil CD: Carlos Domingos AD: Cristiano Rodrigues Copywriter: Henrique Zirpoli
