Punny Packaging

It’s no secret that I have a guilty pleasure for puns, so when I came across these witty packaging designs from Purearth naturally, I fell in love. It’s a superb example of great design and great copywriting working together, which is guaranteed to get some attention and stand out. I don’t doubt we’ll soon see filtered photos of these bottles quickly appearing on Instagram.

One Minute Briefs: Campaign to Stop #TamponTax – Winner!

Bloody Disgrace Tampon Tax Bloody Disgrace Tampon Tax

One Minute Briefs teamed up with @bloodydisgrace and @fullsixlondon for this brief, to create a campaign to stop tampon tax:

WOMEN BLEED ONCE A MONTH. AND THEN PAY TAX ON IT.
There are 3.52 billion women in the world that will tell you, that menstrual hygiene products are essential to lead a functional, normal life.
However, several governments don’t think they are. They deem these items not essential, and tax them accordingly.

This is a #BloodyDisgrace.
We have created, and are launching a global campaign and petition, directed at the United Nations, to raise awareness of this unfair tax. We want every government to act together to declare that menstrual hygiene products are essential goods. This campaign has been created and supported by FullSIX London.
Above are my two entires and the first one became one of the winners. There was a phenomenal amount of entries for this particular brief, with many winners as well – which are all worth a look!
Last but not least, go ahead and sign the petition to put a stop to this bloody disgrace.

One Minute Briefs Advertise: Fifty Shades of Grey

fifty shades of grey ad

Just like millions of other people, I to have read Fifty Shades of Grey – yes all three books. Above is my idea/entry for One Minute Briefs to advertise the film. Using film genres/jargon I opted to focus on how the film wasn’t just a romantic chick-flick – as most of us know there’s quite a bit of action!

Fifty Shades of Adverts

I doubt there’s very few people who haven’t heard of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ – which is probably one of the most anticipated films being released this year. The book/movie and especially the trailer has acted as inspiration for a number of new adverts which have gradually made an appearance with the big day getting closer and closer.

Odd Love Story Ad From Interflora

Despite this ad being for Denmark it has captured attention from all around the world, with a charming but odd love story which has a surprising twist. The ad shows the love a gothic boy has for a popular preppy girl. But I’ll honestly admit, (along with a large percentage of others who have watched this ad) I did not expect the ending. What’s also great is there is no dialogue in the advert at all which makes it universally appealing and who doesn’t love a good love story? It was also refreshing not to see a bouquet of flowers feature in the advert either, which I imagine was a risk for a florist brand to take but I believe this makes the brand even more appealing and the ad more charming.

St John Ambulance: The Chokeables

I first stumbled across this short ad on Facebook, it had been shared numerous times by a number of mums. I was quite surprised at how quickly it was all over social media in such a few days of being released considering I hadn’t noticed it on my Twitter feed despite following endless accounts relating to the ad industry. But quite rightly so the type of people sharing the ad were the exact target audience – parents. However, I think it does a good job of keeping any old person interested and watching until the end, whether you have kids or not!
