Rockin' car ads

---From top: Jeep;Polo-VW;Renault Espace;Mini Cooper---- Get inspired! by these 4 selected ads- posted as a perfect proof of Advertising Creativity, where no car is featured.

Hope Kuwaiti automotive advertisers will get there one day by requesting Rockin' car ads from their appointed ad agencies...It's about time we change the speed by shifting the rules!!!

Wear a helmet u idiot

by FCB Ulka - Bombay That ad was submitted for the Abby's Night to be held on March 31st (Advertising Club of Bombay) in the the Public Service Category.

build your sexy machine!

These are superb ads for HARLEY DAVIDSON by Carmichael Lynch. Although, if you scroll down down in this blog, and check EMI's wonderful series of ads they look alike somehow somewhere so much. IT seems like a trend nowadays!! Followers are the most common breed in this world. Didn't you notice that?? And am pointing my finger too!!

killed by drink drivers

Another of those shocking ads but how persuasive they are specially with lost drunk and irresponsible drivers. Helloooooo Kuwaitis!!

Not even once!

In 2004, 17,033 meth labs were seized, compared with 7,438 in 1999. This represents a 129% increase. (Federal Drug Enforcement Agency, Boston Globe Editorial, July 15, 2005). Leading the Meth Project effort is research-validated, nationally recognized, high-impact advertising that communicates graphically the risks of Meth use. DON'T MESS WITH METH!! The hazardous and life-threatening product features and consequences of Methamphetamine are clear, compelling, and undeniable. The Montana Meth Projectare is communicating these product features and consequences to the young people of Montana on a massive scale. MMP reached 90% of their target audience – youth ages 12-17 – three times per week with targeted, clear, compelling product messages about Meth. This is saturation-level marketing. & they plan to sustain this level of communication for some years. http://www.montanameth.org/
