Nada a ver!
Wait, isn't this the same agency that deceived the Cannes jury with the "Nelka-Rent-a-Car" fraud, and took home a Gold for it ??
They're from Costa Rica...
No, it isn't
No man, the fraud is JWT, no BBDO (thousands of years of difference)
Cuidado. La envidia mata.
these are ballsalicious.
what do i have to hit how many times on my head to get this?
i'm sorry, but i don't get it neither.
fuel + life. but i see a dead shark, is that showing the opposite? feels like something is lost in visual.
-fuel + life
A good ad is a simple read. You should look at it and get it right away. What do I get after seeing this ad for the first time? Toyota is in the business of killing sharks. Yes I know that's not what they're saying, and I know what the real message is, but it doesn't read that way at all.
This is just absolutely horrible. I'm sorry but it is.
car-adds are getting more and more stupid. This is a very bad example.
Delete the Toyota-Logo and but Greenpeace instead. Then the idea will work.
I am sorry; maybe this is an ad for smarter people, but please have a little patience and explain it to me.
My question is: is it well known (like most people have this knowledge??) that a major side effect of oil exploiting is killing animals? Shouldn’t we worry first about air pollution, environment (like plants) issues?
Besides that.. I understand: you buy a Toyota, Toyota needs less fuel that other cars, that means that less oil must be exploited and animals live longer and happier. Yeeeey, let’s love Toyota for letting animals live! Light a candle everybody!
hmmm... I get what they wanted to do, but... i'm still at hmm...
