Sam Kidd's thoughts on business

You got to love the guys who do the adverts in Ryanair. I can't help but think a certain Michael O'Leary might have had something to do with the wording of this advert which appeared in the papers today.

 

As you will know from other posts on this site I love advertising that's really stands out above the rest.  This site is another example of someone thinking outside the box to get their message across.  Any advert that you want to watch and want to tell people about is a winner in my books.  This advert comes from a company I didn't think I would be writting about here, Burger king.

The idea for the video is of course simple like any great idea. What would happen if you took a Burger King restaurant in America, and then you decided, hey lets take the Whopper off the menu and told everyone that comes in that the Whopper has been discontinued for ever. Well the video will answer those questions.

I love clever Ad's. Guess there is a part of me that would love to work in this area. I love finding ads that are different from the norm and you know they had a bit of fun making them.
I'm just going through my usual 'I'm bored' sites at the moment. I was looking at Coolhunter when I saw this ad.


It's from Isbank in Turkey.  This is the front view.



And this is the back view. What a great way to make people slow down
and read your ad, and remember it. Fantastic!

Just sitting in work going through a load of my favourites that I never look at. I came across this
site which has all the stuff you want but can never afford or don't have a house it would ever suit.
But mainly most of the stuff comes into the I will never be able to buy it category. Anyhow they
have a section on adverts from around the world.

This one I thought was really bloody clever. I love people that can think outside the box and just
come up with the things we all wish we could.

This ad for Folgers coffee it was created by Saatchi & Saatchi NY, the clever campaign consists
of delicious looking photos of coffee printed on vinyl and placed on top of steaming manhole
covers around New York. Holes cut out of the photographs allow the steam from the manholes
to rise through, created the effect of giant, steaming hot cups of coffee. Brilliant.
