Spec work going around the web as real ads – is there any way to stop that? Should we even try?
Posted in: UncategorizedRemember that Toyota Prius campaign that Well, at least he drives a prius, right? in “spoof or homage” because it looked like a fake ad campaign to us. I said then “Who spent all this energy on doing a fake campaign I wonder”… But wonder no more – David Krulik did them and proudly displays them on his portfolio site. Krulik actually works at Ogilvy New York, where they don’t have the Prius account.
Johan Jansson at Stimulansbloggen emailed David Krulik to ask him about these ads, he got this reply.
Hi Johan,
The ads are 100% fake.
Toyota did not, nor in my estimation, would ever order these kinds of ads.
I created them for fun. And being an Art Director in advertising, they were meant only as self promotion. How this thing blew up as big as it has continues to baffles me. Hope this helps. And good luck with your blog!
