Great work.

'simple with ample'

I'm sure you're one of the "creatives" envolved because this has been done several times. Plus, I don't need anyone to tell me that the benefit of a BUG KILLER is KILLING BUGS.

o.m's picture 354 pencils

seen somethin similar but not on a pack,

in that ad the cockroach is as on the front cover of his one
but the product is turned away from the viewer. so when the
the ad is turned 180 degrees, the product is straight and the
cockroach dead.

have seen something like this before

i thought of that save penguin ad. "ignoring the problem won't make it go away" (better in my opinion btw ;)

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

i like the execution here. you turn the page, you turn the bug. bug on it's back -> dead. this is simple, clean and well made. but the basic-idea "kills bugs" is lazy. too many of those

Am I missing something or this is PURE BULLSHIT?

bercha's picture 7 pencils

I'm so hppy to know that Baygon kill bugs ! thanks

wearmysocks's picture 1099 pencils

Awesome! Love it.

For those who don't, not all advertising needs to over-exaggerate product benefits in an amusing or memorable way. This ad is a simple, memorable product demonstration which engages the viewer, making them interact with it. I would buy Baygon based on this ad as it will be the first brand to pop into my mind. Therefore, mission accomplished.

mission would be accomplished with one page as well. to me the idea is not so strong to get two pages.
therefore half of the money wasted.

wearmysocks's picture 1099 pencils

You would then lose the interaction to which I refer, and make it a normal ad showing a picture of a dead bug.

spending a whole page to show how a live cockroach looks like?

it IS a normal ad already.

theartiz's picture 82 pencils

The moment someone sees the bug picture... they hurriedly will turn the page.

And on the next page... it would be already dead.

Bug Killer - Baygon - has done it. Hip Hip Hurray!!!

Personally I don't support killing of any creatures... but if you keep your House Cleans... You won't need to. Right?

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

yeah. left is right and right is the backside. its not printed as it is shown here

ibeg2differ's picture 420 pencils

Fantastico!
Great use of medium for an out-dated idea.

eltipo's picture 213 pencils

dalbir baba, learn how to appriciate a good think,
i would say this is nice utilization of medium.
nice and simple ad

touseefdesign's picture 23 pencils

EMmm.. not good not bad

Hunter S.'s picture 10 pencils

It's all subjective. I'm not a fan of this ad. Too easy isn't a very good judge of something that's made to cause people to do something. It simply doesn't cause me to want to buy their bug spray.

Hi.

daveconrey's picture 36 pencils

I think this ad, in its simplicity, make a perfect statement. "We kill bugs". Maybe you're not inspired to run out and buy their product, but the branding is so basic and effective, you'll think about it the first time you decide to buy a new can of bug spray.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

And...?

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

Senhora Kolossa's picture 493 pencils

daveconrey, that's bullshit!and even if you're right it's still not a good ad to just show the product and the logo. if we would work like this my comments would look like this:

wtf? seems to be a clients work!

murugesh's picture 75 pencils
