an agency that goes forward by thinking in the past?

- adsactly! -

teenie's picture 1910 pencils

I smiled, even though I'm not 100% sure what it's for. Nice idea - hopefully the people it's aimed at will get it.

benjaminbrown's picture 439 pencils

It's a bit half baked for an ad innit?

HugoBranca's picture 4 pencils

How hard is it to get? They go against the flow. Not very good though, and kind of an old idea.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

Thanks Hugo. I didn't get that.
Surely there's better ways to say it.
e.g. Don't play iconic global print ideas.

great idea.
should've come up with it a year ago and sell it to the economist.
or design it in a different way.
btw, anyone remember BBH's "when everyone ziggs, zagg" and their black sheep?

very conceptual!:

The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time

When everybody zigs, they zag.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

But this is saying when everyone zigs, eveyone zags.
It's a cool 'conundrum' grpahic idea, but isn't clear.
Perhaps all the little arrowns AND the overall arrow heading
in one direction with one arrow going against the tide would be clearer.

rocketman's picture 391 pencils

the visual has a very powerful effect, no doubt.
the message is a little open though.
i guess if you know the product well, it makes sense.

DarkSide's picture 909 pencils

Why use "The Economist" layout?
If you don´t follow trends so should your art direction.

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

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

Spot on, DS.

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

tantrik_indian's picture 881 pencils

It is meant for people who already know the agency? Others will wonder that the product / service is. There is no mention of it.
~~be cool eh!~~

~~this paranoid survived!~~

bok's picture 8 pencils

this would make a great t-shirt design

super calibara's picture 180 pencils

They should redesign 8th floor like dogs infested with fleas.

supersupergirl's picture 296 pencils

i like it. i know what you mean by when the world zigs, zag... but this is more like dont go with the flow.. or swim upstream... nice..

easy tiger's picture 68 pencils

this is lame.

for christ's sake what's everyone thinking ...

eaaaaaaasy

Chris's picture 1859 pencils

pedro's picture 14 pencils
