Hello Flo Says Goodbye to Camp Gyno!

Gone are the days when tampon and sanitary pad ads would only promote their products through nothing more than subliminal messages, and the ‘blue liquid’ was a recurring character in all of those ads. Hello Flo, boldly and bravely breaks the trend through its recent ad, “The Camp Gyno.” The ad features a young girl, narrating how she become a ‘camp gyno’ after getting her period at the summer camp, and thus achieving superiority over the rest of the girls, who were left wondering how the whole female menstruation cycle worked. Unfortunately, the camp gyno’s world comes tumbling down, after Hello Flo came in and took over her job, through its service of sending tampons and sanitary pads along with candies, perfectly timed along with your period cycle. View the link above to see the advertisement. I am sure you will end up either with a dropped jaw or a…

The Nivea Stress Test

By Advergize Staff

In order to promote Nivea’s new Stress Protect Deo, the team of Felix and Lamberti instead of just playing it mainstream and promoting the product through a series of television and print adverts, came up with a crazy ad campaign. A bunch of passengers waiting for their flights at the airport lounge were targeted, snapped pictures of, and were announced as wanted criminals. Yikes! I don’t even want to imagine myself in a situation like that, but I am sure I’d need the Nivea Stress Protect Deo more than any of the targets in the video! It is somewhat hard to believe for me that most of the passengers played it cool till the end when they all were presented a Nivea Stress Protect Deo spray to refresh themselves. Have a look for yourself, and use the comment section below to tell us how would have you reacted in a…

British Airways Visit Mum In India

By Advergize Staff

No matter where you live, and no matter who you live with, nothing can compare to the love of your mother. Most of all, nothing compares to mother’s cooking. This recent ad by British Airways narrates the tale of a mother living miles away from her son in New York, who left his homeland, India when he was barely 17 years old. British Airways promised the mother to send her son’s favorite dish to his New York apartment. The overjoyed mother prepares a tiffin, ready to send it off to her dear son who she hadn’t met since the day he left. The ad then takes a surprising twist that left me teary eyed. After watching this beautiful commercial, I couldn’t help but send an “I love you” message to my mom; you might want to do the same.

By Advergize Staff

A recent ad campaign by Samsung has been spurring a lot of sexist controversy online. The ad stars a lazy husband with undone hair and a half-eaten chicken leg piece in his hand, who perpetually sits in front of the giant Samsung TV screen, along with a young and beautiful wife, who only wishes to have a husband who would make her lunch, take care of the kids, do her hair and mop the floor. The ad may narrate the everyday life miseries of young married women, but actually, it is an advert for the Samsung Evolution Kit.

‘Live Like Your Grandpa’ – Coca Cola

By Advergize Staff

Every time I look at my grandparents, I imagine myself to be just as active as them, doing chores without complaining of backaches and going up and down the stairs few times a day without a hassle. But, then let’s be honest here, in spite of being young and energetic, we are becoming couch potatoes and lazy slackers, which is not only affecting our lifestyles and health, but also our waistlines. Coca Cola in its recent ad for the anti-obesity campaign puts forward a great message. The ad shows a comparison of lifestyles of a man in our grandparents era and a modern age man. Both wake up at around the same time and go to work, but instead of driving a car, eating junk food and using the elevator, the 1950s man instead cycles to his work place, eats healthy food and climbs the stairs. Nevertheless, both the men…

Stand Still to Get a Free Can of Beer by Amstel

By Advergize Staff

We all have heard of vending machines that give you free samples of their product for various gestures that you make, but ever heard of a vending machine that gives you a free can of beer for literally doing nothing? Amstel Beer came up with a similar concept for giving away free beer cans – stand still for three minutes! It isn’t as easy as it looks, at least not for a restless person like me. To be honest, even not checking my phone for a minute gets me all fidgety. I am still wondering how a bunch of these people managed to get a can of chilled beer for themselves.Think you could do better? Feel free to share what you think in the comment section.
