I would have wrote this:

"I really like them...

nice idea and ececution

And thank you for a watch ad that's not stereotypical"

if it would be an ad for a watch brand...
anything else...like this ones...just don't make any sense

so do the same thing for a watch manufacturer,
let the sticky mans do something that's linked to the lifestyle the watch is supposed to express
and it would be a great ad!

totally agree!

for a watch it'd be f**king brilliant.
for a bank... well, it's just way off.

great idea wasted. what a pity.
nicely done though.

totally not agree. i really don't have much clue what personal banking is, but i can easily grasp that, in general, it saves your time.

which, a watch can't match. saying that a watch could save your time would be an awkward overpowering of a product for my money.

wildbore's picture 602 pencils

yes. great ads. but NOT 4 PERSONAL BANKING.
pls findout a watch manufacturer. they wil love these ads. ( try.u can)
good job guys!

I'd have to disagree, cause it's perfect for banking and way more clever also, with some watch brand would just be another ad for watches.

So therefore I have to say it's one of the best campaigns I've seen so far.

Very Good Job!

@ you and Audrius Kubrik: print this ad, cover the logo, leave the headline and ask people what's it for.

if more than 2% says it's for banking I'll admit I was wrong.
in other case it's called relevance.

thirty6chambers's picture 1468 pencils

that's pretty senseless. if you covered up the logo for most service ads and some product ads, you would have no idea what it was for as well.

I agree that upon first look at the visual, this would seem to be a watch ad. But once I read the copy and saw the logo I immediately made sense of it. Now, if this was for a watch company, this concept would make no sense. Think about it.

whitespace's picture 2061 pencils

actually the guy above you makes sense.

if you were in the market for banking but don't really care about watches, you won't read the copy - you'd just turn the page.

and if it's for a watch company, the visual alone tells me that their watches tell a story. time to live, time to eat, time for everything.

the relevance has to hit home way before the person consciously processes it by reading the copy. hook and bait.

Great idea. time and life! The execution is nise...

onestepahead's picture 97 pencils

LOVE IT! the line is great, a bit layered but stil for a evolved market the ad is just Good.

ManchuChanchu's picture 701 pencils

haven't these already won something cannes? superb never the less. solid idea beautifully executed. the way advertising should be without contrived connects.

rupeshkashyap's picture 6 pencils

hey superb campaign! great line and great art but product connect is really weak. initially i thought it is for watch brand only but presonal banking....i am not too sure.

brc912's picture 105 pencils

Completely agree... beautiful art and concept for a watch company, but it does not make sense for personal banking.

fifilo's picture 74 pencils

Nice one.

niffob's picture 92 pencils

All of them very nice.

Very good copy and art direction.

Well done.

creativebomb's picture 123 pencils

nice campaign

Sepia's picture 12 pencils

Personal banking?huh?

ricklongo's picture 1219 pencils

I don't think the idea is that great. Nice, but not great.

But unlike some people here, I also think it fits perfectly with the brand. They're selling a concept: take the time to do the stuff you like. Personal banking is a dynamic service, that keeps you from wasting extra hours in bank lines. What's not to get?

manal's picture 16 pencils

very creative!

komeketo's picture 106 pencils

didnt read the comments. but loved the copy!!!

dlkgrsy's picture 36 pencils

Easy concept, interesting copy, hard to execute visually but nailed it perfectly.

Elaine Cipriano's picture 4 pencils

It would be fine for a watch brand. I said "fine". And for a personal banking, I think it's FANTASTIC. It says: Take your time and use it for things that you love. (Don't spend it going to the bank).

Ops! someone just said this.

andré ™'s picture 144 pencils

Everything fits perfectly, the copy(just wonderful), the Idea(good) and the execution(classic), they all reach the target.

deepside's picture 177 pencils

The visual effect is beautiful but i don't think the whole poster can really express their idea

alnore's picture 212 pencils

i think it's also good for personal banking.
banking=money
and time is money, right?
but the copy is waay more brilliant

all balls, no brains

skeMaMen's picture 248 pencils

And the point is, bank has take your time cause you don't have time to eat at home?! What's the point about plate and food?

Beautiful work. The agency should be very proud of its creative staff and do all they can to keep them.

Guest's picture

The concept is great as it's thought provoking.
Could it be used for lots of things? Sure.
BUT, I bet whereever the ad was placed, if it was,
all other ads surrounding it paled in comparison.
Just look in any financial mag. Pretty blah stuff.
