Can someone explain to my dumb ass what's going on here?

it's pretty simple. it's states, rather bluntly, the thought that 'nothing grows by chance." the items that make up the roots (karaoke, camera, internet) of said growing item (shame) are meant to exemplify this simple thought or truth. that's about it.
personally, i think the art direction is killer. but the connection back to fertilizers seems a bit tenuous at best.
| think small |
Nice Campaign, Nice illustrations.
Fuckinstastic!
Great visuals
What does the client do? I'm confused by the ITU fertilizer copy. Art direction is pretty neat.

Shame comes from wetting yourself after two pints, not from the internet or cameras?
Not a fan of this.
Good artwork can only make a crap idea look a bit better, not make it a good idea.
Please try harder.

agreed
Nothing to do ith the actual product. Art intersting though.
7 CREATIVES DIRECTORS????? HAHAHA...that's wrong dudes...
It's okay to dream big and let your imagination run wild when brainstorming, but at some point you need to sober up and try to really understand what it is you're selling. I'm willing to go so far as to say this campaign completely misses the target emotionally AND rationally. Being creative for creativity's sake isn't going to impress anybody (well, maybe One Show and Cannes judges.) But certainly not the "green-thumb" audience the ad is intended for.
Right about now, I'm starting to miss all the "spec/scam" Miracle-Gro ads that were FAR more conceptually and emotionally on target...
Exactly.
"readthiswhileIstareatyourtits"
well i don't think i've seen a more beautiful fertiliser ad, and that's something.
I quite like this, but not as an ad, just as a piece of artwork.
It's too may leaps away from being relevant, you go 'what's that? oh right, and what's it selling? really? Hmmm. Nah'
It's a nice idea but not for that.
If you want to push your imagination over clarity, change your name to Dolores and start wearing technicolour, ethically produced hemp trousers and do a painting about how a man in the street raped you with his eyes as he walked past or something.
If you want to make ads, make them COMMUNICATE.
Exactly, it's a nice work for an art director or a illustrator portfolio, but not a great concept, just look at the number of creative directors, how much..7? too many people working. big groups tend to disagree.

is it the same thing... or not?
Not really in my opinion.
They are both trees, so they are the same in that sense. Well done! You're a genius!
>:-(
I had to sign up to say that you're right, that is the same idea. The only difference is that the Shame tree is growing a negative and the Jordan tree is growing positives. I prefer the one for the trainers. I'm quite surprised that people can't see the striking similarities between these two concepts.
