Converse shoes’ “faces”campaign in Poland

Converse is the legendary American brand of basketball shoes. Over the years Converse All Star shoes became also the essential item of rock musicians’ wardrobe and soon also entered the fashion catwalks. JWT Warsaw prepared this outstanding print campaign called “Faces” which was short-listed at Cannes Festival in 2006. Far away from sport themes and very much into fashion and image area. I hope you’ll enjoy my first post at The Ad Mad ;-)

Zurich Financial Services – Friday the 13th

Click to enlarge the creative ad / design

It’s a common belief the friday the 13th is a good day for bad things to happen. It turns out, it’s also a good day to advertise insurance.

Using the old cliché of a flower pot accidentally falling on your car, they turned to the streets to create something memorable. On the morning of friday the 13th, people woke up to find rows of broken flower pots strewn across the city sidewalks. As they look closer, they saw small, well branded signs that read: “Today is friday the 13th. Are you well insured? Zurich. Because change happens.”

In addition to the signs, they created branded flower labels that doubled as vouchers. Each voucher was good for a complimentary consultation with a Zurich insurance expert waiting in the Zurich agency just 100 meters away.
