This is not very pretty. The choice of the photographer can be better.
But i think it's a good campaign.

Couldn't agree more. Also the layout is not as strong as it could be. The "idea" is too close to the payoff line so you don't get that natural pause created from moving your eyes across the page.

Strongly reminds me of quite a recent campaign in the Netherlands about alcohol abuse amongst children.
Don't recall an address though...

- edit - There you go.

Mr Hughes's picture 390 pencils

It's very similar visually - but can't tell if it's doing the hangover thing or not (no speak a da dutch).

The art direction could be tweaked, but all in all a solid good idea. Nice.

Great campaign. Eye catching.

knalpiap's picture 4 pencils

It's not the hangover thingy; the slogan sort of says: "Prevent alcohol from damaging your growing child". (do speak a da Dutch)

Still very very very (visually) similar though.

Mr Hughes's picture 390 pencils

thanks. I worked in Holland for two years but all I learned was to ask for a beer.

i love this idea

hang-the-dj's picture 1270 pencils

This is a fantastic concept and they look great to me.

Awesome campaign.

(I work on the same brief in my city with about 5% of the budget. Never done anything this nice...)

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

What was your idea, Hangman?

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

hang-the-dj's picture 1270 pencils

Did some nice radio but most of the press/outdoor was done before I arrived.

It was deep etched shots of beer/wine/sprits etc with punchy one-liners
(eg. pic of wine - 'displays deep social overtones with a hint of social abuse')
the kind of stuff you have to do with a budget of $3.50.

You would not believe the tiny amouns of money we make ads for over here.
Very hard sometimes when you are so constricted.
Just got a 30 sec TVC approved for a budget less than the agency spends on beer in a month!
(and that's just MY beer...)

Chris's picture 2003 pencils

wayne bought you beer? :)

hang-the-dj's picture 1270 pencils

Oh yeah, part of my contract.
And no local shit either, we're talking Grolsch, Weihenstephaner, Hoegaarden, Shofferhoffer.
Plus corn chips and salsa my friend.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

Love the upside-down glass connotation too.

sanju ayyar's picture 22 pencils

very good work. I really like these. And by the way dear HANG-THE-DJ, could you upload some of your work.
Life is harsh. Your tequila shouldn't be.

hang-the-dj's picture 1270 pencils

Wow, why do i get the feeling the vultures are circling above me?

I don't have any 'real' work to upload. Not of the standard we usually see here anyway.
The stuff I have done would be laughed off the site for shitty art direction.
And the production value of my scam ads would probably crash the server.
Oh the joys of not having an art director.

Will send Ivan some radio, will that suffice for now?

What city are you from hang man? I'm from Melb. but now work in Athens. I don't get to speak with many Aussies until I found this site.

hang-the-dj's picture 1270 pencils

Sunny Perth.
Moved back from Melb (was there for 2 years) to have kids.
I love Melb and may end up back there, but not yet.

How's Athens?
