Ad’s Clever: James Dean is alive

Obviously, if you are a massive James Dean fan, this ad for a financial investment firm will be in the poorest possible taste. However, it says a lot for the execution of the ad that it leaves you in a somewhat reflective mood. Whilst the special effects and video splicing isn’t anything new, proving that time is indeed finit,e and relating that to our tendency to look for quick buck, carries 2 important messages in my book. In short, a nice way to be creative with your message in a recession.
