And finding our way to a better one

RAC Advert

Compared to yesterday’s poor effort, here’s a far better advert for the RAC. Clearly focussed on who it’s aimed at and what the benefit is.

A good idea with some good short copy.

Nice.

Highlighting a crap advert

Stabilo Highlighter Tube Advert

Saw this delightful advert on the Tube – so where do we start…

  • Would it be the awful copy?
  • Possibly the ‘Boss’ play-on-words down the right hand side?
  • The poor typography?
  • The dismal prizes that can be won?
  • Or maybe just the piss-poor cut outs of the USB key fob, where it looks suspiciously like someone’s just used the magic wand tool and then called it a day?
