Wow this campaign has got it all! Advertising Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi, of Copenhagen, Denmark brings home the bacon with this one! Creativity through the roof and with regard to the concept itself I wish I was sitting around the brainstorm table when they came up with this idea!

If you can’t already tell they created these deep sea creatures out of their denim products. I couldn’t tell at first when looking at the ad then I zoomed in and was like… wow what a good idea!

Aside from not putting a URL on the page I’d give this campaign an A+ for sure. Ya know even with the no website to be found on the ad I’m guessing most people will know to go to the Quicksilver website since the brand is deeply entrenched in the American culture.

Great job Quicksilver!
Truly,
Mr. Echo

Well Land Rover is making a go at the military market. Advertising Agency: Rees Bradley Hepburn, Birmingham, UK have developed a pretty slick advertising campaign incorporating the military themes, I especially like this first one.

After visiting the website www.landrover.com/usmilitary/europe it seems Land Rover is aiming at high ranking military or diplomats visiting the U.K. to rent, lease or buy their vehicles.

I think its fairly obvious to say who the ads are geared toward but I would think they would have put a few pictures of the actual product… ya know the cars!

Overall the ads are tight but they don’t really say much for the actual product. I really like the first one with the camouflage of Europe but I think in the other 2 ads they should have put some pictures or images of the vehicles.
Truly,
Mr. Echo

If you’re a tech hipster then surely you’ve heard of Microsofts pet project “Surface“. Surface is cool but this multi-touch display by Jeff Han blows it out of the water, atmosphere and finally out of the galaxy!

Very funny ad I’m sure this one will get tons of free publicity around the blogosphere, kudos to the firm that put it together.
