Caretas magazine is a weekly magazine and the ad is supposed to be in more than one edition, so in 2 months or 10 issues the ad will reach at least 10 in 500 that is 1 in 50. Obviously the message won't reach every reader but maybe they will comment the ad to more people.
good idea, but from a practical standpoint it really limits your audience. You basically chopped your audience from 500 to 1.
agree... would like to know what the client said when this idea was presented to him.
but i think people would probably not just throw it away, maybe they'd talk about it or even show it to some friends.
it would freak me out to be one of the "chosen" though!
I understand it completely diferent . . . .
The ad text is:
Every year 1 out of 500 people will suffer from cancer. 1 out of every 500 Caretas magazine includes this warning.
But they put it in all magazines . . .
Haha - if they were smart (let's assume they are) then that's EXACTLY what the client did!

That´s what I think too.
Could it be, that there are in general 500 (or more than 500) issues of this Caretas magazine, so the first time they put this ad in it, they can say, that 1 out of every 500 Caretas magazine includes this ad? Anyways, I like this ad and I think - if it gets noticed, it works.
you can't explain your ad to the people that are reading it... It's just another advert to the people who see it unless they somehow make the relationship that they were one in five hundred.

yes, i agree to brandon. there're too much "you are the 10000 visitor" and " you're the chosen one" trick all around the world, so i guess, people start to numb over this.
At the first moment i saw, i thought that come together with a form for like..maybe..the checkup registration of biggest hospital in that town? and it perhaps urge more to go for a checkup.

500 out of 500 probably saw this ad! This campaign was probably (can't say definitley) executed so that ALL 500 magazines had this pull-out and built a relationship with the reader by "making them feel that they were the 1 out of 500 seeing the ad. If they did this...GREAT JOB! If they didn't...what a waste.

GREAT WORK!.... BANG ON!
uuuuuuuuuum i am not sure wether it will work or else
but definitely not in India i would say! am i being contoversial !!!!!
i dont't mind
To me, it's a bit forced if they have really put the ad only in 1/500. And if they have put it inside all the mags, they cheated. Not working for me.
Hahaha - for sure they did NOT only put it into 1 out of every 500 magazines, sheesh! Why is this so hard for people to grasp? If they put it into every 500 out of 500 magazines (and than some), each person who read it probably thought "Oh - I am that 1 out of 500 hundred people who got this piece of paper and therefore I could be/could have been the one out of every 500 that also has cancer". Does anyone REALLY think they would ONLY put this leaflet into just 1 out of every 500? Haha.

I checked with a media person. If you wanted to put a tip in sheet into 1 out of 500 magazines, you definitely could. Which means they would only pay for the pubs they're in, definitely not a waste.
The randomness of cancer is one of the most frightening aspects of the disease. I know if I got this ad, I would take notice. And really, isn't that the point of what we do?
Call me naive, but I really believe, that they just put it into every 500st issue and I also believe, that it absolutely works BECAUSE the idea is great. I am sure, that people who find one of those papers in their issue of the mag, will talk about this ad with friends.
If I was the client, I would have totally accepted this ad because the idea of it perfectly fits the subject.
Vive la Ad-ucation!
Vive La Aducation!
HI PEOPLE IM SENT THIS AD LIKE COLABORATION, IS IMPORTANT THAT KNOWS : ALVARO NADDEO ( HE IS IN THE CREDITS) SAYS: "Caretas magazine is a weekly magazine and the ad is supposed to be in more than one edition, so in 2 months or 10 issues the ad will reach at least 10 in 500 that is 1 in 50. Obviously the message won't reach every reader but maybe they will comment the ad to more people."
1 in 50 --- works.
Congratulations Álvaro.
