Liverpool Station

Now i absolutely love this advert, every time it comes on it just makes me smile and warm inside. I first saw it at the cinema which adds to the whole effect of the advert, having the surround sound and you see the people dancing, its almost like your there experiencing it live. Its great how naturally it progresses that more and more people join in the dancing and how you even get a few people who have no involvement but start to boogy. The choice of songs are also classic having everything from pop to opera. It really gets the point across about 'Life's for sharing' moments like this you want to tell everyone about it and what you have just seen, you wouldn't want to miss it. Enjoy!

Words speak volumes

This is one i have had for quite sometime and is not so relevant from the sense that the election was nearly a year ago but enjoy none the less...


I love it!! Mainly for it's simplicity, the ad is straight to the point but has managed to create a double entendre with the product and current political news. Veet have managed to capitalise on this unique opportunity, it just goes to show how important placement is as well as the message itself.

V is for...

Ok so while away in Paris recently i saw these adverts mainly in the metro stations which i was undecided about. There are two versions but seemingly i only have the one -


so as you can see various famous French sports players are in the Nike wear and gesturing which we see as swearing but the copy backing up this symbolism as 'victory', some of the other adds feature stars gesturing the same thing but what we would normally interpret as the peace symbol. I find it an intriguing take, as its one of those things that is trying to go that extra bit, close to the line but not necessarily crossing it. It did make me laugh though as i thought they could get away with it on the subways but the photo featured was taken at the Nike store on the Champs-Elysees where its along shops like Louis Vuitton and Cartier.

Junky Styling

This company was brought to my attention by a friend at work who came in with quite an amazing jacket to say the least, Junky Styling is a company who basically gets clothes from jumble sales and charity shops and reworks them to a style that suits, and obviously unique. So what my friend had was originally a mans suit jacket now restructured to look nothing of the sort but inside they have kept all the original labels. On there website checkout the galleries for some great looks, and if you have some clothes you want to be altered you can send it to them with want you want doing and hey presto...

Googlicious

And another one i particularly like is in celebration of the Hungry Caterpillar which is in its 40th year and sells a copy every 30 seconds amazingly, a childhood classic I'm sure most people have.


You can check out a range of all the adaptions that have been done of the google name over the years at more google the Lego brick in 2008 is a another favourite.

Get naked and fly

Aer Lingus's recent stunt was for people to get naked in a bid to win free tickets from Gatwick promoting the new 'no hidden extra' fare. People were given shamrocks in a bid to protect some modesty. It was expected that a 1000 people would turn out in a bid to get free tickets but a mere 400 were present baring all for the free flights to Europe, but it partially served its purpose if not getting the crowd number anticipated it made the headlines.

Hi Ho Silver Lining

Hi Ho Silver has had a re-brand and it's good, they are now using Hi Ho as there name loosing the silver due to them branching off into other areas of work. Very simple and elegant design that is effective and enjoyable, using pieces of there jewellery to incorporate as a part of the advertising. The deep purple has a nice contrast against the silver imagery to finish off subtle peice of design.
