Don't know if it's good or bad, but it looks like a "Wish you were here" Pink Floyd Album cover rip off to me. Or maybe it's an homage. Tough to say.

Guest's picture

Yes, it does look very much alike.

nice but veeery expensive for a print ad (2 full ad pages plus one extra pvc page printed on both sides... wow). hate me, but an idea that expensive isn't that good

Look up "brilliant" in the dictionary, and this ad should be pictured on the page.

They took the idea that a few other delivery services had used with the image of an open box and people exchanging an object rather quickly. However, Shanghai J&J Advertising Co. seems to have taken it a step further. Great work.

Creo que las dos fotos deberían haberse tomado en locaciones que representen dos lugares alejados del mundo. dos países diferentes. Así hubiera reforzado la idea de Internacional.

great ad. photos look great and the message is very easy to understand. the only thing that makes it loose points for me is how expensive it would be to print. but well done! nice work.

To book media like this in the first place, the idea has to be worth it. Luckily it's worth it. Nice stuff.
The talent are stiff just like the Pink Floyd cover.

Hecho, es la misma idea de algo que ganó cannes hace años, no recuerdo si fue en el 2006 o 2005,
era un niño durmiendo en la calle, al voltear la página el niño quedaba sobre una cama.

Lo siento. pero es lo mismo.

I dont have the link, sorry to all, but it was done, exactly the same for a NGO, in which you could see a little boy on one room and turning the page, with your help in another room much nicer.

Sorry but done... this is something for Joe!.

nice.

blueturtles's picture 156 pencils

perfect. seems right on the brief.

and to all the comments who say they've seen it -- sure it's been done for other brands, but this brand fits the concept perfectly.

and to the dude that says he doesn't like it because it's expensive -- why are you judging it by that? quit hating. would so hate to have you as a boss (if you're even in advertising).

There's a long debate on this scam ad, as DHL never assigned J&J agency in China. Moreover, it's totally odd to have English as a language in the suspected ad, as for Chinese audiences, it's obviously Chinese language. Check out the original (or should we say, the legit) work from Ogilvy & Mather Peking in the following link.
