Outside The Box

I've always been amazed at the creativity that exists in the advertising industry. Perhaps that's why I decided I wanted to make a career out of it. Hemmy.net is a weblog that I often visit and it's got a little bit of everything to offer. I discovered a post on creative advertising and really think it deserves checking out.

Take these ads, for instance. Awesome.

Mr. Clean: Clean Crosswalk

Cingular: Dropped Calls

Whether you're into advertising or not, these "think-outside-the-box" examples will give you ideas and encourage you to think bigger than you might at first. Who would have thought to use a crosswalk bar as an advertisement for Mr. Clean? Or what about making "dropped calls" DROP?! It's incredibly innovative and seeing these ads makes my mind wander to consider the possibilities. What will they think of next? Hopefully, I will think it first!

Search "creative advertisements" in any search engine and you'll get very neat results.

I love these. Many people think advertising doesn't affect them. There is a reason companies spend so much on advertising - it works. Nice examples.
