INTELLIGENT ADVERTISING: A collection of clever poster adverts

DO they still make those top-adverts-from-around-the-world shows? You know, the one where they showcase the top 100 adverts from around the world. I don’t watch much TV these days, but those shows were great fun.

I remember the earlier ones consisting of a lot of European adverts. The German ones tended to be quite raunchy. Some were banned because of their suggestive natures. What surprised me is that there were only ever one or two South African adverts in the mix.

South Africa tends to be rather good at intelligent advertising. We have the Nandos ads that never fail to amuse and even Marmite advertising tends to be tasteful. Here’s a small video collection of ‘Extremely funny ads you’ve never seen before’.

Humour goes a long way in advertising and I personally prefer good poster ads that are not only funny but intelligent. Below is a select few. They may not be South African, but the good humour remains intact.

ADVERTISING: A fine selection of intelligent adverts

THERE’S something very pleasing about an intelligent advert, whether it be a poster or a TV commercial. Most people consider adverts as invasive and mute them whenever they come on, while others are suckered into buying just about anything that’s thrown at them.

I often find myself completely oblivious to what adverts are trying to sell – rather focusing on what subtleties they have employed to appeal to people’s human desires. These are usually quite obvious – the major ones being sex, fame, beauty and prosperity.

My favourite ads are the ones that take the piss out of the blatant methods of advertising and offer us something clever, tasteful and humorous. Those are the ones we remember and make you rush out to buy their product at a store near you. Strange … I have a sudden urge to drink Heineken ...
