no, it's not a "before&after" ad.
look at the "page 3" and "page 5" lines.

good job.

I think the two-consecutive-right-hand-page placement makes this ad a real charmer! No, there's nothing that we already don't know about the brand. But it's the way they keep reminding us of it.

Absolutely fantastic!

Djingle's picture 11 pencils

Very very very nice! The simplest ideas always work best. Just a shame the simplest are always the hardest to come up with.

huzyisundead's picture 109 pencils

I don't get it. Page 3 and page 5?

LeeHarvey's picture 1798 pencils

Holy Christ. Page 3 is a right-hand-page, if you turn page 3, page 5 appears. GET IT??!!

Lerastaschtroumpf's picture 23 pencils

Best ideas are the simplest ideas. I had to learn that.

LeeHarvey's picture 1798 pencils

What's the point of showing us this link?

Frits Harkema's picture 713 pencils

And this was a fact to establish: Bac makes razors too? COME ON!!!!! There was probably never a brief and I wonder if the client has payed even one euro for it.

Disco Munky's picture 3839 pencils

Brand Promotion.

If you can't see the effectiveness of the piece and also the media used then you need to think on what you're doing mate.

Como corporativo guay. Pero me faltan los mecheros BIC. Puede quemar la cuchilla que es de usar y tirar, o fumársela, o calentar la punta del boli cuando no tira.
otra cosa. Los del plan de medios estarán contentos.
Amo el antes y el después.
