There's something wrong with the logic here.

Styling is great. This flat does look like Eastern Germany at the time. Especially the jumper. ;)

Look the window and see the Berlin wall over there! I little bit old for this moment but okay. If they would use some fact that just past recently, for me, it would be more relevant and interesting.

nautylus's picture 77 pencils

not being a German or European, I didn't notice that subtle detail of the Berlin wall, the most important element to understand the ad...

Good concept but bad piece. It's really late now. There are a lot of other things they could come up with.

Very good, I think. Too complex, though. I think getting in a most recent fact would remove the iconic goal they intended. That may have politized it.

The poor positioning of the bicycle right next to the DHL box only further confuses the message here. Fundamentally the concept seems flawed. Maybe because it's suggesting DHL is actually the sender of the sledgehammer, rather than just the delivery service.
Also the guy looks like Christopher Lambert, sitting there wondering which f**kwit screenwriter replaced his Highlander sword with a stinking hammer.

ZeOrb's picture 24 pencils

Did that massive sledgehammer come out of that Toblerone shaped box?

Its to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. They're not too late.. but yeah maybe the younger viewers wouldn't get it right away

Always try to be unique even when forced to conform.
