I like the idea but, the execution could have been much better.

no wonder there's a world wide crisis in fact when you see the credits you realize that a lot of people aren't working

wtf?!??!?!

One of the worst campaigns. No wonder!!! Its from London. I am sure it will Cannes. You racist white male creatives... stop giving each other hand jobs.

I think i know who is the racist here....you must go to see a doctor brother!!!!

Simple ideas are the best !

Guest's picture

Brother??? Where did you learn that?? If you are in British advertising, look around to see how many coloured people there are around you. Only the elite white British brotherhood among award juries have kept you/london creative. Even if that means awarding campaigns like these created by the other members of mostly male white British brotherhood. Its a creative reputation created by giving hand jobs. Go get some creative sense from people of Brazil.

Nos somos todos irmaos cara, nao è por ser brasileiro que somos "alliens"...tambem è tempo de acabar com essa "treta" de cor de pele e creatividade preto & branco. O mundo vive em "multicolour"...voce ainda esta no preto e branco.

What a terrible landscape photo. Is it taken from flickr? Come on!

i don`t think so

I think that all twelve people on credit for this assignment could have tried a bit harder to create something fresh.

This piece is as if Photoshop had a "Take a Dump" tool and the AD used it liberally.

loved that photoshop comment.:) this and my country's prime minister's recent mistake in a press meeting, saying: "they claim those pictures were enhanced by photoshock! There's no photoshock!!"

but yep, this lay out is a total photoshock!

1 head of art, 2 art directors and a very bad photoshop

Doing great work is hard, criticize others is way easier.

One of the greatest campaigns. No wonder!!! Its from Brazil. I am sure it will Cannes. You racist black male creatives... stop giving each other hand jobs.

horrible photo retouching job. And get a better image, I'm sure Ogilvy will fork out a few bucks for a stock image instead of shooting the office floor and ripping a low res off flikr.
Idea...Average.

Guest's picture

great campaign. The other two look better than this one.

Me like, very much.

louie_wang's picture 130 pencils

ok,nice

Guest's picture

But art direction, good idea!

Guest's picture

who honestly gets a brief like this? it's for hot wheels, but do whatever you like.

crappy ad, for award purposes only.

Guest's picture

Brazil has no creativity. You rip off the old ideas that Europe has use and abused over the last 10 years. Brazil will always be 10 steps behind us!!!!
