Luxor Highlighters – Chaplin, Hitler and Che – press ads, India

Leo Burnett Mumbai uses Hitler, Chaplin and Che for highlight marker Luxor ads.

What do highlighters do? They highlight important parts of the story, right? Here they do more than that – if you read what’s been highlighted you get another story alltogether. Ten extra gold stars to the entire team for managing this, and copywriter Russell Barrett, it must have been a royal pain to do. Click on the images to get nice big one where you can read the copy.

Kudos goes to:

Jenna Jameson pushes pleather dressed as Bettie Page in PETA ad
