A Collection of Crazy…. Enjoy?

On 12.17.09, In Advertising, by Joseph

Excuse me first for the vulgarity of this twisted Santa ad, It’s not like me to showcase these nutty images but it just happened to be the nicest image from the entire collection of spots I just placed in here. Enjoy 3 new ads that are way past over the top two of which for good reasons. I still don’t know why they had to go and axe santa ha, that’s making me go get my coffee. Happy holidays and I guess the message to take away from all of this is drive safely over the holidays.

Creativity is that extra bit of magic that can turn communication into a dream.
And there is no crisis that can justify the killing of a dream.

www.mettiamocilatesta.it is a web-based campaign promoted by Milc against the decrease of advertising investments during the economic crisis.
