whoa. Massive. Simplicity brought to that point where you even do not know the brand. Why? Idea is great, but logo on this pills is so gentle…

jazarah's picture 1270 pencils

amazing one, really liked it, but I guess they should add the logo

Depends on the media, and I'm going to sound like a client… but I agree with miko. Think it needs a packshot bottom right!

alvinpck's picture 1465 pencils

Overdosed with panadols. I only need one or two.

Great idea. I really do think this is a super idea. And execution wise too, I think it is spot on. But I am not sure this will win any award. But I could be (and want to be proved) wrong.

the sos thing been done to death, but this is quite nice.

talay's picture 266 pencils

very nice concept amd I agree with the packshot thing... but still working

sold's picture 2623 pencils

need a packshot, yes.
and about people that just dont know morse code?
i got it just thanks to the title "Panadol: SOS".

Eightball's picture 200 pencils

don't know any morse codes. so I don't get it.
As Chough said. Depends on the media.

jawtok's picture 172 pencils

Yip I also agree with the above; very nice concept (for those who know morse codes) and needs to have a packshot. Very good otherwise.

mmmmm, i have my doubts...is intelligent, but is effective? people understand it?

teenie's picture 1906 pencils

My thoughts exactly. It's a fantastic idea--but will people get it? It's almost too clever by half. Creatives will drool over it, but the consumer may just shrug their shoulders. A packshot and a small tagline may be necessary.

juliangray's picture 1003 pencils

I get the sos, but i dont know what panadol does. So i dont get the idea.

smartkani's picture 174 pencils

branding is really really weak. thank god for the titles. just for that, i'd bomb this one.

SOS. So what? What are you selling? SOS dishwashing pads?

Monjet's picture 174 pencils

Why SOS? What's the emergency?

loader's picture 1120 pencils

What? there's a copywriter????

:::J:::

Zed's picture 178 pencils

Ofcourse there is a copywriter... SOS is a word ;-)
and by the way copywriters make concepts also as a part of their job.

Nice but
can't see shit
Disco bickies
have better stamps.

If you were to remove the ad title 'sos', 95% of the people viewing the ad would just not get it... so in effect it has been made only keeping in mind the award jury.

But nevertheless the idea is great.

ShanGhai!

capywriter's picture 5526 pencils

Indeed... count me in with the 95% not getting it without a title. In fact I think also award judges should look at it like that... 'what if we didn't have an explaining title?' They should...

johon's picture 6 pencils

genius!

LA IDEA ES QUE UN CONSUMIDOR ENTIENDA ESTO???
