Folger's: "Hey, City That Never Sleeps. Wake up."

Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi, NY

In New York, Saatchi & Saatchi created for Folgers Coffee a unique campaign that featured pictures of coffee that were placed on steaming manhole covers all over the city. These pictures had holes for the steam to pass through to give the illusion of a steaming cup of coffee. Unfortunately, the aroma wafting through steam holes comes from the sewer below.

Agency: Scholz & Friends, Berlin

This funny picture is part of an advertising campaign for a German recruiting agency called Jobsintown. These shots show workers working inside vending machines in an attempt to lure people to change for a better one through the help of this agency. Although these ads are very clever and humorous, they are probably similar to how some employees feel about working in the wrong job.

2007-12-16T09:50:00.000-08:00

Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi, Peru

This ad from Papa John's recently won gold at the Cannes International advertising awards for their clever picture.

Sofitel: "Mona Lisa of Loo Art"

2007-12-16T09:25:00.000-08:00

Agency: Ican, Australia

The 5 stars Sofitel Queenstown Hotel in New Zealand has gained a lot of attention not from the walls of water, slick metal toilets, and subtle lighting of their male toilets but from their huge posters. These show the images of models from Australian agency Ican after Auckland model agencies turned down the job when they heard where the images were going to be placed. Let's just hope that these images won't alter the ego of this man.
