It’s a known fact that most ads aren’t that great and some can be particularly annoying, especially the money comparison sites like Compare the Market and Go Compare.
So, we know that ads can suck but also In today’s society people are always so easily offended nowadays. Don’t worry though because there are lots of very creative and talented people who work in advertising and marketing. This great collection of printed ads from around the world were created by some of the best advertising and design companies in the industry and it’s always good to see they have a sense of humour and with some clever thinking they don’t have to resort to racy images or garish colours to get our attention.
You can see more great ad examples here and also the flip side of how not to do it with some really offensive vintage ads here.
