Not the best ad placement ever.
This poster was spotted in Stockwell station a few days ago, it promotes the movie "Righteous kill" with the strap line "there's nothing wrong with a little shooting as long as the right people gets shot".

Second installment of the Microsoft Ad
I'll be honest, I still don't really get it, it's mildly entertaining though and by that I mean it doesn't make me want to rip my eyes out of my sockets.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

Samsung viewing pods (not sure I'd stick my head in it there though)
Building wrap
Coke branding

You won't find anymore crap ads there
Right I have my rant hat on today.
How many of you think the new T-mobile camping is crap. I do and I'll tell you exactly why.
Let me know your thoughts on these ads as if you think I'm wrong I would like to hear your thoughts are on this topic.
Now you may also argue that because I am talking about it then it surely it's doing its job.
I think the context in which we're talking about it will have a negative effect on the brand, the reason I don't think this ad works is because of the confusion it brings to people, it's not actually doing anything as a spot. Some of you may recall the "mega" ads for Cadbury's that don't make sense but it did in a very subliminal way. It's sold you happiness/joy.
It's sold you an experience of enjoyment, which was bought to you by Cadbury's. T-mobile on the other hand don't, it annoys me, I have no idea what the props have to do with the minutes it keeps going on about.
Amazingly enough I found out that Saatchi & Saatchi UK did this which disappoints me as I quite highly regards Saatchi's as an agency but when they're out putting this drivel then maybe I need to re-evaluate my opinions.

- They don't make sense
- They have awful visuals and scripts

I disagree.
