Weak. Disappointing for this client.

But compels you to think. That's what's good about this communication.

it's a cool idea
me likes

I think it's a cool idea because it puts people as the solution to the problem. Unlike the Greenpeace with the white kid that says Global Warming Will Affect Us All. Yes, what can I do?

dadada's picture 298 pencils

Even in this case, the solution is not clear for me, what can i do?

buy by bye's picture 546 pencils

I agree, the solution isn't here either.
it's not like we can physically go there and stand infront of the guns.
but this execution makes me more aware i think because it involves some kind of physical exploration.
it's like a gallery, one side gun with men and the other the sweet animals.

i like it because if i walked past it, i would definitely stand and look and take in more than i would from a same-old-same-old bilboard ad.

This is an old ad - has been in ad annuals last year or year before. I think the work is great. Smart use of medium, it's just about raising awareness. How much can any of us do about poaching, other than stop wearing fur?

kre8's picture 993 pencils

so is that the creative dept standing in the shot aggressively "protecting" the animals?

fersvax's picture 1210 pencils

LOL!!! That's true, nobody will stand like that between two ads.

FER.

puppiepoppy's picture 1582 pencils

I like the idea...but seriously, the execution of these outdoor suxs. I hate to see the people posing in front of the boards. It's so fake!

"Bowww Wowww"

melocoton's picture 989 pencils

Besides, I don´t agree with the idea that I´m the only responsable for the extinction, don´t blame me.

Burberry's picture 17 pencils

I love this work. Excellent use of media.

DarkSide's picture 899 pencils

I liked a lot. Embraces the audience in completing the message.

Doing great work is hard, criticize others is way easier.

MarceloG's picture 826 pencils

I like it also. It really puts you in the middle of the thing, either if you dont want to be part of it.

badhairday's picture 16 pencils

very nice. conveys the thought that each person can make a difference.

“I agree, the solution isn't here either.

Wow. Way to take the concept literally. The ad isnt asking you to go there and stand between them, its a dramatization of what you COULD do -- stand between them by getting involved. The ads put you in the solution mindset. The call to action is to visit wwfs website or whatever and get involved.

dude
that was a reply to someoneelse who said 'this ad doesn't give me a solution'
so i literally explained .. because i thought they took it too ltierally.
read before you comment please.
it is wasting my time

What am I missing. This isnt a reply to anyone...

buy by bye's picture 546 pencils

i guess you are not familiar with the format of comment page.
if a box is more inwards that means it is a reply to da above comment.
(look at my box now.. it is not on the same starting point as yours)

mr/ms dadada said "Even in this case, the solution is not clear for me, what can i do?"

see..

jeezz
you are not good with details are you
