Ad’s Clever: A birthday message from Viagra
The Viagra account must be a creative’s dream to work on. For once the creative department can harness their day-to-day innuendo and general vulgarity and present it to the client. So it’s with an air of jealousy that I present Taxi Canada’s work to celebrate the 11th birthday of Viagra.

Ad’s Clever: 38 years of Super Bowl Commercials
Adland TV have put as much blood, sweat and tears into the definitive collection of Superbowl commercials as the Saints and Colts did getting there. So, whilst this may be is a total hijack of all their hard work, I’m sure they won’t mind the Chad’s Eye View readers adding to their stats. Enjoy.

Ad’s Clever: Pringle jumpers made simple
Being a patriotic Scot, I do like it when something from my home country makes a few ripples in the ad world.
Pringle have a long history of producing world-renowned knitwear, but in the past suffered a rather ’stuffy’ image. With this in mind, it’s with somewhat surprising that one of the highlights of Milan [...]

Ad’s Clever: Welcome to Adland
We’ve all seen the tediously long TV programmes compiling endless lists of the best in advertising: the 100 best…the rudest…the crudest…blah, blah, blah. Well, this little film takes a much more pleasant route through adland’s varied past.
Co-directed by Mark Denton and Seth Watkins, it transports us to a world only inhabited by advertising characters. [...]

Ad’s Clever: Bud Light Superbowl commercial
Well, it’s almost that time again. When America builds itself into a frenzy over the Superbowl – and advertisers rub their hands with glee at the gargantuan audience figures. Obviously, the key advertising demographic is the sport-loving-beer-drinking American male. Therefore, ‘Superbowl Sunday’ makes it the best time of the year to sell… well… beer.
Bud [...]

Ad’s Clever: Wes Anderson’s Amex commercial
Those of you that know Wes Anderson will already be familiar with his quirky style – most recently, in the wonderful adapatation of The Fantastic Mr Fox. I’ve been more than a little in love with his films since his second feature film Rushmore came out. Imagine my excitment, therefore, as I stumbled upon this [...]

Ad’s Clever: The ultimate ‘dude’
The English language is an intricate art. American English, in particular, is peppered with a plethora of subtle nuances. So much so, that the American male can now confidently rely on one word, and one word alone, to communicate with his fellow men. Kudos to Bud Light for recognising this, and for making an entire [...]
Ad’s Clever: The Pantogar Hair loss Memo Pad
Unfortunately, some of us know only to well the horror of reaching up to caress that once proud maine, only to feel it thinning as the years progress. Well, you could start using Pantogar? And if that doesn’t work, you can still enjoy their clever little piece of stationary merchandising from JWT Hong Kong. Perhaps [...]

Ad’s Clever: Drenched hamster brass band
You know, a few years ago, if someone had said “have you seen the latest water commercial” I’d have laughed at the idea. Well, they’re still laughing – and with good reason.
From the Drench brand (who brought you ‘Brains’ dancing to ‘Rhythm is a Dancer’) come these cute little guys. Hats off to director Alex [...]
Ad’s Clever: Knickerpicker
Girls in their underwear. Familiar territory for the adman of old. However, this time it’s digital. The clever folks behind (excuse the pun) the website knickerpicker have created a virtual catwalk of different women to show how the knickers ‘perform’.
Now, despite these honest intentions, this approach has attracted a significant amount of male attention into [...]
