Guerrilla: Million Dollar Catch

This guerrilla advert is made by TV programme in New Zealand. One of the last winners I guess was a fishman, so they have very creative approach to show that you can catch your million fishing like he did. Very interesting, but the place those ads are located forces me to think that people there like swimming a lot or they have lots of swimming pools. What ever the reason, I guess there is one that explains the location decisions.

Guerrilla Outdoor: UHU Glue

This ad particularly shocked me. I like the concept but didn’t get the way how it works. Here what it says:

During the first days, this is just a yellow billboard. But as time passes, the message (shape of the tube), written with UHU GLUE, starts to appear.
Pollution, dust, papers and other urban elements that flow over our heads will stick to the glue and give shape to the image. At the same time, this billboard communicates the brand and shows the benefit of the product.

The question is how and where they will get the dust? If they can get some one to do this it will be great. But it is very expensive.

However, I have a solution it could be used in the highway, so it will appear in the consequences of the 1,2, 3,4 and drivers or people who see it will understand that it is UHU Glue. It evokes interest in consumer and they start carefully waiting for the next picture. Finally they will see the brand and could make decision afterwards.

Guerrilla: Faller

I keep saying that guerrilla advertising is the best when you have a limited budget especially current days. So, Faller also had limited budget and ordered this creative. However, for me it is still unclear who are their target market. From the brief you can understand where they placed the ads, but are those people their customers?

Guerrilla: Swiss Skydive

Have you ever tried to jump from airplane with parachute? Do you like extreme? Do you know the feeling when you jump from helicopter or airplane? Then a guerrilla ad by Swiss Skydive let’s you feel all this emotions. I would love to try it, because i love extreme. If I were there, I would have tried that service definitely. However, for some people people it could be very scary. No more words, only tag line and credits and you may enjoy the ad.

BTL: Roche

This is my first post about the BTL. I found it very interesting and appealing. It is from Portugal and by McCann Erickson, where I have been last summer and enjoyed the culture and people. As it says that there are problems of the cancer and particularly breast cancer. So following campaign was developed. The colours are chosen wisely, because their target market are women so the colour is pink. The concept of the balls is also great as they are as soft as breast but has some stone inside that makes it feel differently. To read the brief and the solution press the picture.

You don’t see the breast cancer. You feel it.  Do the self exam.

Print: La Buena Tierra

The Mexican ad on organic food eating is not impressive as I have expected. It shows that hot dogs, hamburgers and coke could destroy my health. Maybe??? But it is not in the way that it was pictured on the print ad. Maybe I am wrong, but I think it is not that much attractive and eye-catching. Maybe you think differently, make your point in the comments.

Guerrilla: Aseema Charitable Trust

I found this advertising very interesting, because it is advertising and at the same time an educational tool. When you see the picture closer by pressing on it you can read the brief and understand what I mean. Well done job by the Aseema Charitable Trust and 141 Sercon ad agency in Mumbai.
