Advertising bites, 2009
Creativity can never be drained out of advertising. I don’t know if sales will increase post these ads, but smiles definitely will.
An incredible Incredible India TV commercial by Nirvana films.

A wonderfully executed TV commercial by TATA Communications for its foreign markets (hence not featured on Indian TV).

A glocalized Intel ad for an Indian audience.

An Amul billboard I spotted in Bombay, targeting the 90% reservation proposal for SSC students by the Maharashra government. Never doubt the power of the freedom of speech in a democracy!
What are your favorites this year?
Welcome to my blog, The Shooting Star. I’ve been called a storyteller, writer, photographer, digital nomad, “sustainability influencer,” social entrepreneur, solo traveller, vegan, sustainable tourism consultant and environmentalist. But in my heart, I’m just a girl who believes that travel – if done right – has the power to change us and the world we live in.
My favorite is zoo-zoo ad by Vodafone … I have downloaded most of the videos … its truly awesome … just love those ads !!!
I love zoo zoos as well!
p.s.: you may want to change your theme because the sidebar does not show with individual posts! Quick suggestions here if interested:

I can’t say I’m one to watch television, therefore I never actually see any adverts (good, bad, I’d say good lol) but I did enjoy those 🙂
Thanks for posting!

@ Harsh & Vikas: Yeap, they’re nice. Unfortunately they didnt make it to the Cannes.
@ Jessica Bunny: Welcome to the Shooting Star! Actually Youtube is a better place to watch ads (good & bad!).
@ Amit: 🙂
@ Sumit: Haha, you are really bored, no? Sure, I’m game. Let’s see who can name more places?
