Ad’s Clever: Polo mint snow stamp
It may be the height of summer and your office might be hot enough to boil an egg on the scanner, but surely that’s as good a reason as any to go back in time to the frozen winter of last December?
You see, sometimes you see a clever piece of branding that really takes [...]

Ad’s Clever: Andy Murray street tennis
It’s that time of year again, when the nation pins its hopes on Scotland’s Andy Murray, in the hope that this year will finally see the first British Grand Slam winner since Fred Perry.
So, one would think that having the World Cup to contend with, Andy would be glad to have the attention diverted away [...]

Ad’s Clever: Google Chrome Commercial
The clever guys and gals at BBH have created this great little ad on the innovations to be found in the latest version of Google Chrome. Some jaw-dropping creative thinking shot beautifully certainly has made me think about switching from Safari.

Ad’s Clever: Kwik Fit’s Knight Rider Commercial
For some time now, ad agencies have been planting their ads in the fertile ground that is 80’s pop culture, and quite successfully. We’ve seen Ray Parker Junior dug up for 118 118, even Paul Daniels for Mazuma mobile. But I must admitt, none of them quite hit my nostalgia bone – until now.
Kwick [...]

Ad’s Clever: Dutch sailing poster
For those of you that don’t know, the Tempest Sailing World Championships are taking place in Holland from in August this year. How do I know this? Good design, that’s how. And it didn’t need a massive logo or a huge shouty strapline. Marketing managers take note.

Ad’s Clever: The perfect man
The team at Wieden+Kennedy Portland have been tasked with reinventing Old Spice for the 21st century man. Cleverly, rather than shying away from it’s ’70s dad’ image, it’s embraced it – in an Anchorman-esque style.
The latest enstallment doesn’t claim it’ll make you a better man (in the eyes of your woman) but it [...]

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. [...]
