@Guest - you are an angry little man. If you don't care for other's opinions, ideas and concepts why are you on this site? Create a site and critique yourself.

brilliant ad i like it.

Guest's picture

brilliant? not really. maybe this idea in a situation would've worked better. this chain is useless this way.

BWeesper's picture 47 pencils

Better be a broken chain.

sephi's picture 133 pencils

yea~

lol

I think they've not so really be accord with physics.

jochen's picture 404 pencils

let me explain the idea for you, guest:
the chain is kept together by little drops of superglue...
get it?!

nice =)

ho-hum... first thing that leaps into the mind when thinking abt an adhesive

they showed me a picture & i laughed
dignity has never been photographed

Prof's picture 1503 pencils

some kind of mind you have...

if you had ever thought about an adhesive and this would be the first thing that came to your mind, then why didn't you do it? "hmm adhesive...strong adhesive...OH YEAH! lets just glue chains together!" nice thought process...

this ad isnt that bad, considering its from italy...

Quite really.

Guest's picture

Come on this idea has been done a thousand times.

Guest's picture

Why is Indian advertising in general then such a big rip off/scam fest?

Guest's picture

Can't believe you said that..........You must be a genius.......ho hum.....no the first thing that springs to mind is that you think you are a genius. Am going to think about adhesives now. Byeeeee!

very nice.

wonderful ad , hats off to the creativity

Guest's picture

Great ad. Best work in ages I've seen from Italy.

Guest's picture

GENIUS.........

Guest's picture

I like this. There have been an awful lot of super strong adhesive ads done, but I've never seen this one. Nice thought. 10 years ago it would have been a world-beater. Now it may get a finalist.

Guest's picture

very nicely doneeeee...

Why inverting the ring chain?

Idea: good
Text: I don't like adv without text; copywriter should write it. They should write good text.
Photo: the adhesive makes a chemical weld between the parties and usually it leaves a visible trace, in this case nothing is there.
From a visual point of view that's weak.

Jakarta Jack's picture

you're a clerk at a bank, right?

Guest's picture

And you're of this agency, right?

Jakarta Jack's picture

yeah, jakarta is next door to milan, 5 minutes by bus

Guest's picture

Guarda caso sei iscritto da 7 ore...
E parla pure italiano.
Scemo.

Jakarta Jack's picture

for me 1 pizza margarita and a beer please

Guest's picture

Has a clerk at a bank no right to comment?

Jakarta Jack's picture

yes, but don't pretend to be an expert on advertising when you are a bank clerk.

Guest's picture

"Text: I don't like adv without text; copywriter should write it. They should write good text."

Only if you need a text. If not it's totally useless and it devaluates the idea.

Guest's picture

Tastes are tastes, no need to discuss.

Jakarta Jack's picture

wrong, the need for a headline is something that can be discussed. if an ad is stronger without then it has nothing to do with taste. taste is about the right shade of dark blue. i.e. personal preferences.

Guest's picture

In fact after this discussion everybody make comments forgetting their own taste.
However, stop joking and let me explain my point of you.
Who can decide if an adv could be less or more stronger with/without a text?
A professor like you? On the basis of which parameters?
Certainly an adv can stand alone without text, but why thinking that's the best?
If usually the adv team includes a copywriter it means a text could be included in an adv.
The team decide not to put text: ok it's their decision, they can do it.
Nobody says that an adv cannot stand as a simple image, but someone can disagree with that (specifically in thi subject case) and you, with your degree in advertising, you are not however a person infallible.

Jakarta Jack's picture

a team comes up with an idea, and that does not imply that copy needs to be included in every ad.

what headline would you add to this ad then, smart ass?

- glues any link without having to link them ?
- the strongest glue in the world ?
- the glue that makes chains obsolete ?

get a job in a real agency and learn.

Guest's picture

I understand that it's useless to reply to a desperate housewife.

Jakarta Jack's picture

is that your best shot?

Guest's picture

A PICTURE SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS. Sometimes you don't need copy if its self explanatory.

Jakarta Jack's picture

please tell that to the ass i'm replying to

Has it come to anyone's mind that this kind of chain is totally useless?
And yes, I have seen executions like this before.

Jakarta Jack's picture

Link please

Guest's picture

Comunicates smartly the benefit of the product. There's no point in how you use the chain, nobody cares about that. For me is a very good work.

Rabubi's picture 553 pencils

You my friend are a knob.
Firstly, if you've seen work like this before, provide the link. And secondly, about the chain being useless.... you're complete right.

Overdone...

Guest's picture

Sempre incredibile scoprire ogni volta come anche un'idea totalmente pulita, semplice e comprensibile possa generare commenti così idioti e rosiconi: è una lezione sulla natura umana. Dritti per la vostra strada e in culo a tutti, ragazzi! Complimenti.

exactement le genre de pub que j'ai l'impression d'avoir déjà vue des dizaines de fois...si ce n'est pas le cas, c'est excellent.

Guest's picture

Sempre incredibile l'arroganza della DDb Milano nell'autopromuovere e giudicare infalllibili e intoccabili i propri lavori. Speriamo che con il nuovo direttore creativo l'andazzo cambi.

talkingisfree's picture 1817 pencils

This is excellent. I love it.

Guest's picture

DDB basta coi finti commenti autocelebrativi, fate pena e tristezza, davvero.

busyb's picture 114 pencils

idea: smart and simple.
art direction: fail.

Guest's picture

Why? I think it's a perfect art direction. Very stilish, kinda thai.

very oldschool ad. but definately the good type

Guest's picture

Yeah! Good to see nice ideas not over-artdirected, just kept simple.

Guest's picture

the chain has nothing to do with the idea.

Guest's picture

What do you think the idea is? The chain has everything to do with the idea I see.

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

i think he's saying a chain like that isn't working as a chain anymore cause it's stiff

The idea is nice, but art could have been much better.
I think they wanted this ad to be visually simple, but if you ask me, it's oversimplified and boring.
