I work for a Corporate Social Responsibility firm. Advertising is not art; Advertising is not genial ideas to satisfy a bunch of critics; adv was made to persuade a segment. The ad works perfect!
ooooooh man, ill be sure to check out
the link to your blog for more exciting
realizations in the world of advertising.....jack off
its an online forum, where peeps can talk
shit behind a key board, and give props to
agencies whos work obviously kicks ass
because it shows they put in a valiant effort.
picking on this kinda stuff is what we do in
the meantime between those two activities :)
uo, uo... it seems I have touched a sensitive area.
I remember you that ANYBODY can suscribe to Ads of the world, not only the "professionals."
And yes, you are welcome to my blog... anytime.
But you do have to persuade people to take a biodegradeable bag instead of a plastic one. And this ad's intent is to make you spend that $370 with Pharmasave instead of somewhere else.
I agree - it works. Could be more stylish for greater impact though.
1. Is this ad trying to say that the bags they use at cash registers (after you make a purchase) are biodegradable? Or,
2. Is this ad trying to say that they now sell biodegradable plastic bags in boxes of, say, 80 count?
But really, it doesn't matter. The ad is still horrible.

Not sure what people aren't getting. This is a good ad. Smart and simple.

keep jabbering....doesn't make my beer any colder
When I buy $370 worth of condoms and a bottle of Nestea, you don't have to "persuade" me to use a plastic bag to take my shit home.

Okay. Two things:
1. Is this ad trying to say that the bags they use at cash registers (after you make a purchase) are biodegradable? Or,
2. Is this ad trying to say that they now sell biodegradable plastic bags in boxes of, say, 80 count?
But really, it doesn't matter. The ad is still horrible.
I think that the problem with this one is the Photography ----> because they wanted to show "SOIL" instead of "DIRT".
But it works. Its a simple idea. Its "ok".
The blank page works great for me.. I do wish the soil looked more decent though, and less like pooch poop.
I really like the idea.
But maybe the dirt should look grey - ashes to ashes?

just a white page would do better
i saw some really good/better ads "against" bags non-biodegradable:
http://adsoftheworld.com/forum/exhibition/for_a_better_planet
deserve to be on front page... at least deserve more than this one here.
Much better in this campaign

http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/biocycle_yogurt
http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/biocycle_ice_cream
All of those ads give the false impression that biodegradeable plastic is leaky though. Doesn't that undercut the message?
^^ agreed.
Why so literal?
The bags break down. They're at Pharmasave. That's the message. The solution works.
