Why should ads be boring? Check out this collection of unforgettable advertisements from around the world.
Nissan Cube Advertisement
Break Glass in Case of Adventure. [link]
Nike Cars Advertisement
Cars decorated as Nike kicks in Mexico. The front car carrying the ball. [link]
BMW Advertisement
“From up here, I can see BMW of Bridgeport” [link]
Nescafe Advertisement
This picture of a Nescafe branded building is from Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, and must be among the largest inflatables in the world. [link]
Nike Advertisement
Nestle Advertisement
Creative Nestle billboard advertisement. [link]
Mini Advertisement
Hopi Hari Advertisement
Fitness Company Advertisement
Shopping bags given away to customers when purchasing fitness accessories or nutritional supplements at the Fitness Company fitness centers. [link]
Skin Cancer Towel Advertisement
“Please take care this summer” [link]
K-Swiss Advertisement
McDonald’s Bus Stop Advertisement
Just what you want while waiting for the bus: that mouth watering, tantalizing reminder of how much you’d love to stuff your face with a 1,000 calorie burger only to be reminded later by your stomach it wasn’t the best decision you could have made. [link]
Woodland Shoes Advertisement
Powerful idea for a billboard. [link]
Outdoor Stunt by Goodyear
Lovely concept, but I think there’s something lost in translation in this outdoor campaign for Goodyear. The sign says:
(front) “Your vehicle has been towed. Call 0800 081-8181.”
(back) “For sticking on the roads.” [link]
FedEx Kinko’s Advertisement
When coming up with an ad campaign for FedEx Kinko’s, the innovative minds at advertising agency BBDO were inspired by the streets of New York. The agency installed oversized bottles of correction fluid, highlighters, and, in one case, an office lamp, on the city’s busy thoroughfares for a couple of days earlier this year. [link]
Peta Advertisement
The action is named ‘None of us would like to end up like this.. neither would other-than-human animals’ and it was done with four big foam trays, each of them containing a naked activist inside, and covered with a see-through plastic with a ‘Human meat’ sticker on it. The idea was to imitate the ‘meat’ trays we can find at the supermarkets and to show that we are also animals, just as other-than-human animals, we neither would like to end up there. [link]
Ravensburger Puzzles Advertisement
BIC Razor Advertisement
Bic developed this creative outdoor advertisement for their razors. The billboard is blank except for a small logo, but without it the advertisement might be missed and it acts as a good backdrop for the giant razor and cut grass. The only draw back is the constant trimming of the lawn. [link]
Mercedes Advertisement
IKEA Advertisement
Ikea on Wheels advertisement. [link]
Canon Advertisement
Creative Canon outdoor advertisement. [link]
Kill Bill Advertisement
LEGO Advertisement
Lego’s ad agency in Santiago (Chile) used cranes to hang giant Lego blocks. [link]
Discovery Channel Advertisement

The Discovery Channel advert made me sick to my stomach for a second or two… looked too much like the head of a plane coming crashing through a building. As for the rest… excellent. I’d promise to pay 1,000 times more attention to adverts if they were as inventive and quirky as these… and it would probably work too!

Other than that, I wish more advertisers were this creative.

First of all i don’t like payed comments.
Second the LEGO thing is Photoshpped and not @ all funnny or what. The bloody crane would have to do nothing to be adverting.
This goes for the ravensburger puzzle aswell.
Since construction sites develop over short period of time it’s all futile

Those Peta ads make me sick. How can the compare the lives of animals to human beings? This is what happens when people make up their own morality out of thin air. It’s perverted, that’s what it is. I’d like to see which one of them is ready to give their lives to save a cow.
As for me, there isn’t a cow, ape, or any other animal alive that is worth the life of a human being. Why do I believe this? Well, because the life of the Son of God was given foremost for human beings. The rest of the world will be redeemed through a trickle-down effect.

PETA is usually over the line. Much like their comparison of chicken battery farms to the Holocaust. It’s cheap, manipulative ignorance born of irrational zealotry.
Also, while there is no doubt that McDonald’s is a poor dietary choice, none of their burgers even come close to the 1,000-calorie mark. There are much better, and accurate, points on which you could blast them.

Well done. It seems like most of the ads deal with space and scale in a unique way that gets people to look twice. It also seems like the ads would be expensive. Kudos to the designers, the companies, and you for your post. Cheers!

To all people who thinks Peta ads are over the line; all living things on earth are equal and should be treated equally. Being more powerful doesnt give you right to use your power on others as you wish. In fact this is a weakness.
PETA ads are no diffeent than whats already happining in our world. This is called empathy, putting yourself in the place of others to be able to undrestand their feelings. But how comes it becomes so bad when there is human instead of a chicken
In one of the books called ‘World without us’ it says “if all the insects on earth disappeared, within 50 years all life on earth would disappear. If all humans disappeared, within 50 years all species would flourish as never before”.
advetising is not all about entertainment, its about powerful messages towards your goal. The message is very clear. I am not trying to say do not eat meat, you got to respect all life around you and appreciate natures givings.

@ser
While i agree that there should be moral limits to what defines sustenance and cruelty, i think your argument is flawed and goes against nature… being more powerful -does- give you the right to exercise force, and the only reason PETA even exists is because we have learned how to deal with issues of morality and compassion. Watch the Discovery channel… the strong prey on the weak. That’s how it’s always been. So no, i have no intentions of going outside right now and curb-stomping a chihuahua, but human life is still worth more than a dog’s, and the fact that we realize this fact separates us from the animals.

peta needs to understand that all animals were put on Earth for our consumption or to be consumed by an animal we consume. It’s the whole circle of life thing. Animals don’t deserve ethical treatmant. Sure we count as animals too. But what would you rather die to feed us a cow or a human. Really Peta you want us to eat humans?

is it just me or does the Hopi Hari ad have the same two people over and over again…different expressions…different poses…sometimes even a different coloured top…but are they the same two people?
the best thing about all those ads was that I now know that Hopi Hari is a ‘medium sized theme park located in Brazil’ that has it’s own language, medium to small sized rides, overpriced food and a couple of rotating attractions.
shit ad but hey, I live in australia and I wanna fly to Brazil RIGHT NOW!! I guess it worked…

Heh - I like the PETA ads. So many people in “civilized” cultures are disconnected from their food they forget what is involved in slaughtering it. Also, if you are from the US, there is a tendency to grossly overeat meat.
I hope the religious rants about some mythical god creating animals for our consumption were in jest - otherwise we live in a very frightening world filled with many gullible people (who probably should be the first to fill the new PETA trays).
As to the comment of the strong preying on the weak, if that is correct then the argument then you have thrown out the humanity in humans - we are nothing more than savage creatures. Why don’t you go out and kill, gut, cook, and eat your own meat rather than relying on underpaid immigrant workers to do it for you.
Yes, I find PETA’s extremist views nauseating - and that is why I find the equally extremist anti-PETA views just as nauseating.
As to the rest of the ads, I think they did a good job doing what they are suppose to do - either get their product noticed, or implant it into our memories via every day encounters.

The PETA ad is so very appropriate. it is correct to say we are all animals in this world. but what right have we earned to excess force onto others? trudy was right when she said that “it must be open game on women, children and the elderly”. Take a look at how animals live and then take a look at how the human race lives. we have destroyed the world that god has created for us yet we still feel that we have the right to do as we please when we please. Again i say, what right have we earned to destroy other living, soulful creatures for nothing other than our own satisfaction? I am no vegetarian but to bash PETA for what they believe and crucify them is wrong. They are 100% right about human meat being no more valuable than that of an animal. “all is equal in the eyes of god.”

you stupid idiots, animals aren’t made of “meat” they are made of muscle and flesh, which is what human beings call meat. you are using very poor, circular logic. it is kind of the same as calling cows “beef” or pigs “pork” so that we may eat them with less guilt.
by the same token, human beings can be called “meat” as we are also made of muscle.

Regardless of what you think about PETA and vegetarianism, that campaign is both as valid as the burger ones, and equally as manipulative as any advertisement you might see.
That you have reacted is part of the idea, they are intended to challenge your views and assumptions. What they are trying to say is that an animal’s life has value. If you think it does not, that animals are for our convenience, then that is a view which is *also* extreme.
While I disagree with a lot of the things PETA say, it is a striking advertisement designed to make you think.
I think they are inspired, and I hear the same reactions from people when they talk about the NHS stop smoking adverts with the fat dripping from the tips.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3579313.stm
In this case at least, well done PETA, you have shaken us in our assumptions of grandeur.

You guys are all stupid if you think the 1,000 calorie one was a PETA one. It wasn’t. Next time actually read the titles. It was a McDonalds ad. And honestly if you add up everything one person buys for themselves in one meal, yeah… it comes pretty dam close to 1000 calorie mark. I like a few of the Ads. I do actually like the PETA ones because they are very accurate.
I eat meat, but that doesn’t mean I think it’s right to kill animals to do so. Chicken battery farms are wrong. I love animals and I would give my life for them any time. Those of you who think that being human makes you superior are wrong. The only thing that seperates us from every other animal is our ability to go against our instinct. That’s just total BS that you guys are being like that over the ads. I honestly think the Nike ad was stupid.
