MY FAVORITES

Y&R, Italy

I think this ad is so funny. It is kind of cheesy, but it actually made me laugh. It is so light-hearted I was drawn to it right away. It is in my favorites because I like how Y&R is not trying too hard. I think so much advertising is so over-analyzed that it is refreshing to see just a silly spot that gets the point across and is related, not just random.

TBWA, Barcelona, Spain

I love this ad. It is art and advertising. It is simple. It makes the point. It also reminds me of the paint ad. also done by TBWA. of the flower. Because of all these reasons this spot is also one of my favorites. It is for creating Adidas shoes. The creative direction took this to an extreme and created the shoe from paint. I would love to know how this was actually created.

DM9JaymeSyfu, Manila, Phillippines

While looking at other ads, I cam across this one. It did not let me attention go. I think this ad is so creative. It is for sunscreen. Kobe and Shaq have always been rivals, but this is a whole other way of looking at it. I think the idea is relative to today and also it grabs attention. I do not know this agency, but I liked the ad so much I couldn't resist. The agency is actually a part of DDB Worldwide, hints the name after DDB DM9. I really like the style of this ad, it reminds me of all the other independent agencies, but it still has the flavor of DDB. This is just one more ad on my list of favorites.

Ogilvy & Mather

I am not sure what exact office did this spot, but it is by far my all time favorite commercial. It was just done last year, but it will remain a favorite for a while. There is nothing simpler or funny that could be done for Reese's. It is such a great idea and is not a typical candy or food product ad. I could watch it over and over again and never get bored. There are so many ways Ogilvy can focus on the collaboration of chocolate and peanut butter, but this one tops it. This really made Ogilvy stand out in my head and I will continue to look at their work. It reminds be a lot of the crisp ads TBWA does, but in this case better.
