Top 10 Creative Ads

Hey, there you are!  Good to see you.

I'm glad you stopped by, because there's something I've been meaning to show you.

I just created my Top Ten most creative Ads list.

I have chosen some that are Bold, while others are more subtle.  I have both large and small ads.  Not all are expensive to do, however, they are all CREATIVE!!

Enjoy.  

Starting us off at number 10 is this smart watch ad.  Talk about engaging advertising.  You are literally trying on their product!  Compared to the other ads on the bus, these are quite small, however, I guarantee that they will be talked about more than the others.

Number 9 is very clever.  The best kind of marketing is done by effectively (and creatively) using the opportunities and environment you are given.

8 on the list works on the same line as the last one.  Place it in the incorrect spot and it wouldn't make any sense, but correct positioning and this ad is sure to get noticed and make someones day!

Ok.  We're moving along nicely here.  Starting to warm up yet?  Well, I'm going to start throwing it at you BIG now.  Number 7 is the largest and probably most expensive ad on this list.  This one isn't only creative, but also eye-catching, and probably a pain-in-the-neck to put up and take down.

I like number 6 because it takes what could have been an ordinary "Quit Smoking" ad on the back of a bus, and turned it into a memorable and effective campaign by thinking creatively and using what was available to them.

We have become immune to billboards, bus ads, tv commercials etc.  Because we are constantly bombarded with ads and information, we have learned to tune them out.  Advertisers now have to be much more creative in grabbing our attention, which is why I like this next one so much.  The advertisers, instead of using the Billboard as a platform to present their advertisement, decided to use the Billboard as part of the advertisement.  Fantastic!  Number 5.

Number 4 is not a large Billboard or an intricate and expensive ad campaign.  In fact, they (yes, I am putting in 2) are just simple shopping bags that you would have your purchases put into.  They both demonstrate what they do, but in a way that is subtle and will catch you off guard.  One will likely make you say to yourself "Oh, that's clever." while the other will make you scream "HE'S GOT A GUN!!!".  Either way, gaining attention.  Just look, these 2 simple shopping bags have me talking about them!

Alright, another 2 in for third place.  Two, because they are very similar, I figured I could bunch them together.  Wow, this top 10 list is turning into a dozen pretty quickly.  Lucky you!

These two are probably better off without any commentary.  Enjoy.

#2 is not so eye catching.  In fact, it is the only one that really goes against the grain, in that it is the only stand alone "Ad".  You could put it on a billboard, in a magazine or at a bus stop.  But I did appreciate the subtlety and finesse in its execution.  It is a permanent marker, in case you can't read it.

You've finally made it to the coveted number 1 spot!  Ok, it's not so coveted, but here is my favourite.  Starting with a standard Billboard advertisement, then adding a little creativity, gives you this eye-catching, jaw-dropping, impressive paint ad.  It brings a basic and boring Billboard ad to life!

Well, that's all I've got for you today.  What do you think?  Do you have any you want to add?  Maybe I can make a bonus list?

I've got to go, but thanks again for stopping by.  See you later?
