Creative Advertisements Around The World
An advertisement by Jung von Matt/Alster for watchmaker IWC. Bus straps have been fashioned from images of IWC’s Big Pilot’s Watch to allow bus travellers near the airport to try before they buy at Berlin, Germany. 16 more advertisements after the jump.
A print of a cup of Folgers coffee was placed on top of manhole covers in New York City, USA. Holes on the print allows the steam to come out. Wordings around the cup reads ‘Hey, City That Never Sleeps. Wake up.” from Folgers.
An innovative idea on a large billboard in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It really makes you want that ‘Heineken’.
This is a great advertisment campaign at Unicenter Shopping Mall in Buenos Aires, Argentina for Valentine’s Day. It magnifies the romantic ambience with a simple idea.
Life-size stickers of people were stuck on automatic sliding doors at a mall in Mumbai, India. When someone approaches the doors move apart and it feels like the people on the door are moving away. The person enters to find the message ‘People Move Away When You Have Body Odour’.
A sticker has been placed on the high voltage box depicting that Duracell’s batteries were used. Cool advertisement found in Malaysia.
An ambient exercise to promote Eatalica burgers. A ‘Caution Wet Floor’ board was placed near an Eatalica burger signboard. The copy on the board reads ‘Oogling at the burger may involuntarily cause drooling which may in turn lead to a wet floor. Issued for your safety by the management of Eatalica restaurant’. Eatalica is an American-Italian Food Joint in Chennai, India.
A life size sticker for the horror movie ‘The Maid’ in Singapore placed near the toilet round the corner. The kind of advertisement that makes you pee in your pants.
A giant mirror was built that allowed passersby to stop and look at themselves wearing Indivi clothes at a shopping mall in Tokyo, Japan
An advertisement for a job recruiting company in Berlin, Germany. Depicting people working in the vending machines, ATMs, it delivers the message that ‘Life is too short for the wrong job’.
Stickers were placed in selected car park locations and car workshops where the product is sold in Malaysia. It delivers the message that M-Tech Plasma HID Lights are 300% brighter than regular headlights. The burn effect sticker from the headlights really leaves an impression.
This controversial idea was done in Dubai by Sandeep Fernandes and Husen Baba Khan for the male deodorant, Axe. The mouse pad that every guy needs.
This is an advertisement found in Vancouver during the National Non-Smoking Week. The car was placed at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the message reads ‘Death from car accidents: 370, Death from smoking-related causes: 6,027, Quit now before it kills you.’
Life size images were stuck on glass doors at shops, airports in South Africa for the advertisement of glass and window cleaner I.C.U. The expression on the face is priceless.
Another creative idea by The Fitness Company. Heavy Weights were placed at various subways in New York City which creates an illusion that the person holding the safety bar is doing weights.
A very cost-effective advertisement in Hong Kong for a yoga school. It showcases the prowess of a yoga practitioner on the flexible stems of drink straws. A surge of enquiries and enrollment went after up this promotional stunt.
This is a creative ad by Mini Cooper placed at the Zurich, Switzerland train station. It gives the perception that the Mini Cooper has a large space.

I didn’t find any of them very exciting. Creative? Sure. Boring? YES!
January 30th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
My favorite was the manhole cover also. Cool site overall. I have a question and maybe someone can help me. I have 2 great tv commercial ideas. One for the auto industry and one for light bulbs. I have a job, commercials are just kind of a hobby for me. Would love to pitch my ideas. I am not greedy either. I would trade my car commercial for a car from the company that would use it. If anyone is interested I am in Indianapolis, In. My email is mizzou14@hotmail.com

Those are really great ad’s.
I think that the world of advertising is getting more and more challenging. There always needs to be the “Next big thing”. When I see adverts like these you have here, I always feel encouraged and motivated with advertising.

[...] categorically reject advertisment in the urban environment, apart from 98% of it being rubbish it totally belongs to urban visual culture. But in the realms of street art in the truest sense of the word, it really leaves mixed feelings [...]

omg you guys have no lives at all im only here for a business assingment but you all are here commenting on ads as if its like watching tv or somethhing
April 26th, 2009 at 8:52 am
There really is so much cool advertising out there. Today I picked up a flyer from the bank Vancity in Vancouver Canada. The flyer was made from wildflower seeds, if you plant it and water it, it grows into flowers. On the card it said “Everything you need for your first home, including flowers”. Great ad for home loans I thought.
April 27th, 2009 at 3:14 am

May 11th, 2009 at 8:40 pm

June 8th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Very creative ads. Quite original. I’d have to say the headlight ads on the wall in the parking garage would be my favorite. Who would think of seeing an ad as your pulling into a spot in a parking garage???
June 8th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
superb keep it up………………………give some more ads like this…………………..
June 9th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I like the creative ads which grabs the attention of the mass
June 9th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Ads is the only way of globalizing the products and getting recognition. In some places it may be less important and in some places it may be more valuable. But this is the only platform for every one to display.
June 14th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
These are some of the best ads I have seen in a while.
June 28th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
