The Economist: Ostrich

awesome. so cool...

I like!

nice idea.

I saw this in the Philadelphia train station a few weeks ago. It was really cool ... when I showed up in the morning I only saw the head in the ground. Of course, I knew it was an ad ... but for what. Later that day, when I returned, I saw the other poster on the opposite wall.

They had the whole darn station blanketed with Economist ads ... Jerks — Must be nice to have such an huge media buy! Nice work though.

weakest Economist ad I've ever seen!

weakest a ever? i don't thin so. this stuff is amazing. you obviously have awful taste (or you work at AMV)

cool!!!

This influx of Economist work is turning what was once, classic, well written, great advertising into scammy student work. Compare this to the brain print, this work is nowhere close.

A mí me habría gustado que el primer anuncio estuviera arriba (afuera del salón como outdoor) y el otro abajo (adentro y con la cabeza de la avestruz invertida) tendría más sentido. De cualquier forma es una buena aproximación.

how is this scammy?

wow. jealousy is ugly.

and as far as the stupid "scam-work" comment, go to the philadelphia train station if you'd like to see all of this work plastered all over the place.

Why is it scammy? Just because it's a visual concept?? Walk the walk if you think it's fake - contact the client. The stuff is pure Economist at its best.

yeah really.... How is this scam?

come on guys. you can't seriously question the quality of this stuff. It's an incredibly impressive bunch of work.
would you really want to see a bunch of new headline ads for these guys?

I don't know if this is scam, but this work is really strong. It must have been tempting to just write lines to the existing campaign format. This is something new, fresh and cool for what is a dry-ass publication. I think it's great and I'd LOVE to have this in my portfolio. That said, I prefer Ostrich and Twister over the globes and the other one

me too. these guys are pretty lucky

I hope you're not talking to yourself, dear Guest commenter (not verified).

but this is really great stuff.

hats off to the team.

nice idea.

You cant compare this work to the previous work, like the ideas billboard etc...this is WEAK!

what's the "idea" billboard? and you're right, you can't compare it, because it's a different brief/different country/different audience/etc...
this stuff is great, ESPECIALLY the ostrich

some of these comments are so blatantly thinly-veiled slags by AMV. we know guys, you've done great work for a long time. and BBDO'S stuff is right up there. deal with it.

what does the line say?

I think it's original...
adore it.

Just short listed at one show. congrats this is really nice.

does the ad mean that the economist is for the ones who believe in facing the real world?
