Great idea and execution. Maybe font should be smaller.

You never know whether it should be smaller or not till you recognize where it hangs. Nice idea, but I'm not sure if I'd recognize what is the shadow of?

Thats only the same idea but in different light .
Today its really hard to find something new and fresh so sometimes refresh old idea isn't so bad.

A floating object can easily be pulled than that on land.

Touareg has proved to be powerful by pulling a boeing.

So there's no credibility in this ad.
Art direction could have been better.

The boat is not floating, it is been pulled, just like a small boat would be.

uvendire's picture 28 pencils

it's not a big boat and it is not floating. Car is trailing a medium size yacht. The light puts its shadow so big on the ground and that's the idea here.

LimitedTimeOffer's picture 204 pencils

Er no, the idea is that the car is pulling a trailer with an absurdly large boat (think: Titanic).

uvendire's picture 28 pencils

the anchor in the front is for a small yacht only.

LimitedTimeOffer's picture 204 pencils

Clearly the ad is about exaggeration. How would a car towing a unsurprising medium sized yacht pay off the "powerful" line?

Ad_Man's picture 816 pencils

not!
copies are copies... that's our job, find those new and fresh somethings...

Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.

I think I've seen something like this for the Touareg.

And not the boing one.

It's was just a picture of a Touareg with a rope tied to its back, however the rope went up in a very steep angle, as if the car was pulling something quite large.

It's was done by DDB London, if I'm not mistaken.

bad

yes

MNS's picture 40 pencils

someone paid for this?

Frits Harkema's picture 713 pencils

This might be one of those non-scam ads you hear about.

liar's picture 388 pencils

Too unclear. Maybe as a digital ads will be better where we can navigate what is behind by dragging the picture with the mouse.
