there are two things that can be said about these bus ads : a) the attitude of the
creatives / ad agency who developed them and b) the medium is the canvas.
looking at these ads, you know the
creatives and ad
agency who developed them has this a motto : take no prisoners! it seems to me the ad agency and
creatives who developed these ads did not sleep for days until they came up with something truly creative. they have a passion for creativity, delivering it no matter what the project is, no matter what the medium is. the point, actually the only point to them is that they need to be creative!
to me, the lousiest radio ads are those that has nothing but the audio copy of the
tv version. radio and
tv are very different media and what works for one does not automatically and in fact often fails for the other. simply transporting
tv audio copy to become a radio ad is a definite
WAWAM!
and that is the second point. in these bus ads, the
creatives were anal about making sure they adapt the creativity into the medium of the bus, making the medium as the canvas for their creativity. and they work extremely well!
