Would make more sense if the call to action involved writing a letter. As the ad stands, I don't see what the letter and stamp have to do with anything.

Yea sooo far-fetched :( And the "Helseanki" aiaiaiai big no...
I mean for Christ sake, the name is already helSINKi!
Helsunki might have been better? This ad makes pandas cry.

And I think its nice ... maybe becouse i havent seen something like that before.
New idea.

SeanMartin's picture

It took seeing all three before I got the "sea" connection (Hey, it's still early in the morning, okay?). The handwritten copy is a wasted effort because it serves no purpose to the ad. The "water" cancellation mark is nice, but a bit too subtle. It's an interesting effort, but it could use a bit more development.

No, I am not a media buyer.

Ivan – would You please delete these two insulting comments. Some people from my country cannot behave properly.
Gieltman – typowy z ciebie chłopczyk. Dobrze, że nie potrafisz pisać poprawnie po polsku.

pinoKio's picture 17 pencils

WOW!!! not nice!
Who are you? The Author?
For english people "Morda w kubeł, tepe huje" means "Shut up f*****, stupid f****"
This is so not nice.

BTW. W dodatku z błędem ortograficznym :)

If you don't know :) this is the page where you can write what you think about somebody's ads. Are you mad because some people criticized your idea?
Somebody is sensitive :)
So don't put your ads here!!!

Creative Director: Jacek Szulecki??????
Seguro q un director creativo aprobó esto?
es la idea mas tonta, forzada e infantil que he visto.
Por favor cuanto le pagan a este hombre??????

Guest's picture

Pieso que, tu eras infantil, quando escribe estas comentarios.

ninjak's picture 76 pencils

it might work better if it's on a postcard instead of an OE. cos now the handwritten headline seems outa place.

interesting concept, though.

Guest's picture

By 2050 we no longer use letter paper or envelope.

Guest's picture

Oh, come on! Are you fortuneteller? And beside of that... most of advertising use things that are not real... did you ever saw real gorilla playing on drums?
I think its ok concept.

Guest's picture

very bad.

tired of this message.

I love the idea and execution both. The whole idea is not obvious, so it makes you try to fully understand the message and by that you have fun and you're going to remember it. 10/10

laboured and forced. its time we stop making use of serious issues like global warming as plates to serve badly cooked creatives, just for the heck of it. Let's have ads with substance and call to action.
Once again, frivolous stuff.

Not easy for some of you guys to judge your own work. This is a 3,8/10 idea rate and believe me i'm out of the crowd !!! ( i have seen much better work for WWF specially from Ogilvy)

Crisp One's picture 2031 pencils

advertising for advertisers

adgoddess's picture 352 pencils

I'm from Poland and I haven't seen this ad anywhere, so probably it wasn't even published. Even if it was, I bet not many people would get the idea, because so far we're speaking Polish here. Anyway, it's nothing spectacular.

Guest's picture

being from Poland does not change anything here. Seeing that in magazines does not change it too. Who cares where you are from?

Not every handwriting looks good. That's so baad
