"Smart Dogs" should provide fertile ground for better ideas than this. Also what's up with the craptastic photoshop job on the post-it note?

i'd be impressed if a dog made this ad. unfortunately, i'm pretty sure it was a human.

But I'm not too sure about you (Pedro!)...

It's student work FFS, lay off the chopping skills a little!

krautland's picture 3204 pencils

why is this student ad, which was on the critique page in the forum for a while, suddenly on the front page?

it's still lame, you know.

Bad photoshop or not, bad insight or not... can someone explain what a post-it with 'Hey! Shoo...' (what does it mean anyway) has to do with smart dogs?

this is ahmeda-bad.

Hi Chris, next time you need a pun on the word bad, here it is. Badvertising.

Is that YOUR ad or is it a different Jagjit? I remember seeing your blog which said that you're a copywriter with TBWA.

Coming to the ad, I think much, much more could've been done. It's kinda flat, this one.

Surely 'smart dogs' would piss all over a nice car as they would know that those drivers are idiots.

Its decent ad

there is an insight...

it's not for nothing they published it on the first page..:) congrats

a lot of ppl wish for tht...

And whts with the bad photoshop comments.. it's a copywriters master-of-two-skills ad.. give sum credit..

yah but instead of Hey shoo..
a warning or some thing would make sence

Hey and shoo the 2 words dont gotogethr

Not particularly sure about the smart dog angle... one thing you should always remember is the client's positioning...

Pedigree's general aim is to ensure man's best friend stays fit, healthy and happy.

The Aston with a getoutahere does not make the dog smart.

If you do want people to smile, regardless of the angle, go for really tongue-in-cheek, otherwise keep it straight.

And show a happy puppy because whatever you say it's pedigree, so where's the emotional attachment? You do not buy top-line dogfood if it doesn't stir up some emotions.

Shouldn't the post-it have: "Hey! Shoo!" rather than "Hey! ShoOo..."?

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

shouldn't you be doing something more useful, than writing such comments? no offence, but: jeeeez!

cheza's picture 100 pencils

Well, this is useful, because copy is important in an ad; "Hey! Shoo!" gives the reader/viewer the impression that someone is telling the dog to go away, rather than "Hey! ShoOo..." which entails (to me) that there is no need to "shoo" the dog away.

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

it'n not a capital O in the middle. it's just handwritten.

' "Hey! Shoo!" gives the reader/viewer the impression that someone is telling the dog to go away, rather than "Hey! ShoOo..." which entails (to me) that there is no need to "shoo" the dog away.'

I don't get the big difference, sorry
