Nice trio of pieces. Photoshop with a plan. -- Either that or they have some guy on their payroll weaving strange substances into fabric in his spare time.

You killed me. No, I am not kidding. You seriously killed me with your rating of 8 stars for this! I guess it's time for us to disagree again. This campaign is totally meh. I assume the target market is women here. I've never seen a man buy Febreze. So how do you think a woman would respond to this ad? I thought at first these were donuts (lol). I try not to read the title of an ad to see if I can figure it out on my own. Well, I was wrong. These are fries. 3 stars just for the copy, which at least highlights the product's benefit.
Sorry I killed you. But believe me, you have me re-evaluating, re-tracing my steps on this. I was aware it is one of those love it/hate it, "Is it insane genius or silly student work?" things. I had to put my finger on which of those it was for me. Maybe I picked wrong or too impulsively. But at it's most basic, it raised an instant smile. You cut a campaign that makes you smile a lot of slack. And the Photoshop was awfully good, not too tortuous. Ah well. :)

agreed....but I also agree with ATB2005 ( uhnnsss uhnnss uhnnss ) that these look like pastries....and the cigars threw me off till i read the title..... the fish was easy...thinking maybe subtly show one of the tips of the cigars and or fries to define it...but obviously doesn't lean its attitude towards women....but definitely a male...the art is off the charts though......by the way men use this product..... I use Febreeze if I'm going to have a female and or females, and or midgets over to open the place up a bit.
Shouldn't you be using Axe instead?
Axe is only good for catching the midgets.....spray it in their eyes...drag 'em back to my lair
Don't back pedal. First impressions are invariably correct.
You never seen a cigar or fish and I guess you don't know how things are knitted together? This is a very obvious and clear ad. Maybe the problem is that people from Europe and America think differently. I first thought it only happens between Asians and Westerners (proven psychology) but now I believe North Americans and Europeans think differently. This ad is quite clear and dad on, the line and the art work well together and yes you should be looking at both.
because therefore it is
I saw donuts too. But still works
Great image editing!

all this time i also thought these were french fries. I like the first two executions though. also, if mom is the target, then the first two work well, i'd say. husbands love to smoke and fish.
The problem is the ad is showing the problem and the copy is talking about the solution, so it doesn't really gel for me.
But the art is great.
Agree with you, Billo.
Great visual and strong campaign.
We're all smart enough to get past the old 'negative' message chestnut, aren't we?

Super good idea!
Simple and Clear.
Great job.
Toasts?
It looks dead. It smells dead. Yet it's moving around... That's interesting.
