Akbank ad

Akbank is a Turkish bank. Despite not understanding Turkish, the messaging is pretty universal—especially for a bank. The most amazing element though is the execution itself. It’s a simple pleasure to be zoomed out watching people act as pixels. It reminds me of the Human Space Invader clip I came across the other day. Perhaps this is a developing trend?

Freaky Skittles ad

Skittles ad

Skittles has come out with one of the strangest TV ads I’ve seen in awhile. There’s something oddly attractive to the weird hippy hairiness. Their site is out their too, I just wish it was made with a little more care—the quality of the graphics is butt.

Pimp mon mobile

Pimp mon mobile Pimp my ride + those crazy french people + Nokia mobile phones =
Pimp mon mobile (that’s Pimp my mobile for all of you monolingual people out there).

The video part is a bit lengthy (as the person at Adverblog points out), but it’s a nice little concept – definitely not hatin’ on it.

Veja magazine print ads

A site I check out on a daily basis, Ads of the World, has listed several ads from Brasil’s Veja magazine which are quite amazing. I couldn’t find too much more information on the campaign; if anyone has a clue let me know.

Man calls for jihad against Burger King

Don’t underestimate the power of one main with a cause. Burger King has removed a graphic of an ice cream swirl from its packaging whose appearance is close to the arabic inscription of Allah. Zzzzzzzzzz.
