it's too iPod
I wonder what Apple think?
I think it's "too ipod" for a reason. I like it when smaller, more worthwhile clients do things like this. F**k apple.
Doin' it for the points
way too ipod
Too Ipod??? It's intentional!!! There's the idea.
Anyway, is not good.
I like the fact they are using a recognizable ipod campaign, but that campaign has the product in white. I look at this and think it looks a hearing aid or something. Is the white suppose to be the silhouette of the ear?
I appreciate the usage of a familiar ipod campaign. Though the reason the ipod campaign work is that you can tell the user is having a cool fun experience while using the product. To me this campaign looks like you can have a fun time while wearing a hearing-aid. It doesn't really work.
It's LEVELS not LEVELES... :)
there is a big divergence in the idealization, looks like not everyone is getting it, it is supposed to look like the iPod ads because its about creating the awareness for those who are using the iPods while walking, talking a bus.. etc... just to avoid the harm that these products can cause to the ears, also the music industry has developed in such a way where you can find a very big frequency range into the song, which i think can add more possibilities for the ears harm. again the campaign is good and well played. nice work, keep it up 8/10.

While I think it is relevant to use the Apple imagery like this, I wonder how many people will realise?
As outdoor or in bus stops, from a distance I would think "iPod ad. Nice. Move on." The original iPod ads were instant communication. No words required. Totally visual. These require you to get up close and read the copy to get it. It took me several viewings for me to notice there was a squiggle on the ear, and then to register that "Oh! It's a hearing aid!" Did anyone else miss that first viewing?
DDB Auckland is a very good agency and there are some very talented people in those credits, but I am a little unconvinced on this one.
No Stranger abroad.
Brilliant strategy tho! user of iPod will definitely get the message, well done guys.

The ipod affinity is surely intentional for the specific TG in this case. Not bad at all.
DANCING BALLS. BUT IS ANYONE WHO IS NOT WORKING IN ADVERTISING WHICH CAN REMEMBER THIS APPLE CAMPAIGN? NICE APROACH THOUGH
yep too iPod. i recongnition value is high but theres the danger that people will just overlook the actual message.
Really bad
bulls eye...:-)
