Similar to the orkin ads, but still very good...

only i dont know how much traffic youd get in because it needs to be placed on trees

I don't know in India, but in Colombia, specially in hot cities, you get enough ants to make a million ads like this. The campaign is excellent, I like the arrow the most.
Congrats!!!

FER.

They should support this outdoor ambient effort with print ads with the same visual treatment and the line, since this alone will probably not be enough to impress the client with the projected reach of the target.
I can't say I love it because I've seen products with Nutrasweet or other sugar substitutes advertise
using ants as a visual device. But I still like these.

i've also seen ants on road kill. does that make me wanna eat road kill?
(in actuality, i don't need ants to tell me road kill is delicious.)

one man's opinion: ants aren't the most discriminate of creature.

I've seen ants on killed ideas in my trash bin, too.
I see what you mean by them not being discriminate...

not entirely, Ivan had an orkin ad on hear recently that was similar, regardless. It is quite good. i'd buy that sugar.

I'd say it's flat out theft. The Orkin stuff is pretty recent and got tons of press. I'd be shocked if the creative team hadn't seen or read about it before they came up with this.

Yeah this os pretty solid. I would kill the tagline though. Don't know if its a language problem but it doesnt read well.

Cool. We've got ants to burn here in Oz.

Simply superb.

ideas....30 minutes nahi toh free.

Yokel's picture 610 pencils

How long til the ants found the product? Or were they placed in there? If so, then they won't be looking for food, but a way back to the nest.
How long 'til the ants have eaten the product? Does it need to be daily renewed?
I'd like to believe this worked ... as it's a good idea.

Stigset's picture 1461 pencils

amazing ! excellent idea, but I wonder how long it lasted.

Beatboxer's picture 1523 pencils

CoOoOoOoOoOL... I'm hungry!
I'll fetch a few ants and insects for lunch!

This ad reminds me of a guy on a unicycle juggling chainsaws in a public square: both are pretty entertaining and there will probably be a crowd.
