Canton Fair: Appetite Big Enough?

China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) commissioned TBWA Beijing to develop this print advertising campaign for the Canton Fair in held in Guangzhou between 15 October and 6 November, 2008.

Tame The Beast - Ad Campaign

Creativity has a unique attribute. It has no boundaries. Some of the best ad campaigns in the world carry the flag of limitless creativity. Creativity, be it abstract or direct, always attracts more and more eyes.

One such campaign was designed by the Dutch ad agency “180” for their client; Amsterdam based Barber Shave and Trim. 

We all know that barber shops play a vital role in male grooming. It can even be called a compulsion. Now, an ordinary agency would have easily gone with visuals of handsome men with perfectly cut hair and/or moustaches and beards, but not 180. Excessive masculine hair hasalways led to the branding of being an animal, or in other words, a beast. A beast needs to be contained and tamed; thus the tagline of the campaign by 180.

Using various wild animals known for their sheer mass and/or ferocity; 180 created a campaign that is humorous, yet impactful; as it perfectly and creatively communicates the message. The visuals look ordinary at the first glance; but looking closely, they take creativity to a whole new tangent.

The first visual is of a bear. Now what is the connection of a bear with a barber shop? Look closely and you’ll see the bear wearing a moustache that would make traditional subcontinent kings envious. This is creativity at its best. A bear with a perfectly maintained moustache and the tagline, “Tame the Beast” attracts men with a comical appeal.

The second moustache is carried by a wild buffalo. At number 3, comes an antelope. 180 have created an out-of-the-box campaign, yet the aesthetics remain intact. Not all wild beasts, like all men, carry a moustache. Therefore, a visual connotation of a clean shaven beast was a must; and what better a beast than a hippo?

Take a look at this amazing campaign.

20 Worst Advertising Placement Fails

When it comes to advertising, companies have to double and triple check everything they’re going to publish. However, that is where their limits of control end, and once the ad is released into the wide world, strangest things can happen. For example, who could have thought that sliding Starbucks van door would turn their brand name into a word “Sucks” right next to the logo!

Another easy venue for advertising fails is, of course, the Internet, where the last thing a brand can control is what type of content is placed alongside their ad. With the wide use of contextual advertising, when the systems scan the keywords in the text and place supposedly relevant ads to it, brand names and products often end up in crime stories.

Check out our selection of worst advertising placement fails and feel free to share your own finds!

Hilarious Art School Ads Parody Anti-Drug PSAs

The College for Creative Studies together with an advertising firm Team Detroit came up with an ingenious ad concept to attract students to their art courses. Instead of bragging how good the college is, they decided to use reverse psychology.

The ads supposedly discloses harmful and addictive side effects of art, and is also mocking popular anti-drug campaign from the 1980′s and 90′s, put together by the Public Service Announcements.

The idea was conceptualized by Marcus Popiolek, director of marketing at CCS, Kate Lees and Megan Mesack, both of the university. The first campaign was posted in 2011, and the witty irony instantly went viral on social networks. Below are the ads from the older campaign mixed with a couple of new ones which were released this year.
