10 Brilliant Ads That Are All Just Words

1.

Great idea.
Via Israel.

2.

Two more executions are overkill.
But you might as well produce them, the cost is next to nothing.

3.

Via Switzerland.
Just a great, great campaign for a life insurance company, especially when you consider how dry and boring the ads usually are in this category.
It won all the awards last year.

7.

Via Turkey. Tivibu is a TiVo-type product.
The least clever of the three campaigns, but still simple and effective.

9.

My favorite of the three.

10.

Via Sweden.
This is a dream ad for a copywriter, to write an anti-ad.
Bravo to Papercut, a Stockholm pop culture shop.

NOTE: I purposely didn’t include the famous Economist ads because I posted about them last year.
Click here if you to see some of those ads (scroll down).

      Not a fan of the ‘narcissism disguised as humility’ in the last one. Such a common practice today to talk about oneself in whatever manner possible, and in this case cleverly using second person narrative to throw people off the scent. Kudos to the copywriter for finding a way to make him/herself look cute. It takes a certain kind of self-centeredness to insert yourself into the campaign of a paying client, and have them BUY it!
