suggestion: change the name of agency from creative intelligence to creative dumasses

"good artists copy. great artists steal"

I would agree, if only you had spelled dumbass correctly :(

Couple of things. First, you didn't spell dumbass correctly, which I think, files you in the aforementioned category yourself.

Second: this ad isn't that bad, and it does make its point.

Insulting the creators of the ad (operating under parameters that you or I do not understand and can't fully know) is a stupid and rotten thing to do. Grow up.

Though it's pretty crappy and unoriginal, wouldn't you agree? The photography is lackluster, and that's an excruciatingly forgiving term to use, and the "idea" has been done so many times in print and media that it's difficult to understand why agencies keep persuing it.

The ad hurts, but you're right, attacking the creators is childish. Constructive criticism is productive criticism, people :D

the problem is that is so literal and predictable... and that's boring.
they sure make the point and communicate the message, but definitely it's the first idea.
come on creative intelligence, maybe you can think again (and harder) and show a better ad!!!
take it as a challenge! :)

internet is a 'democracy' in communications, people from english countries (US mostly) usually dont know/care/try to speak other languages, so, please, dont make this kind of "fight", you just make yourself equal or worst than those who insulting the creators in wrong english...

I cant completly get the idea of what Red Haus do, but I think the idea isnt that bad. Maybe theres lack of art direction but its ok. Just that.

I'm a stickler for detail - that's why I can't get past the lack of snow on the ground in the background. The least they could have done is photoshopped some in.
