yaaaaawn! Really?
It’s like AWARD School with good photography.
Very nice simple work..top marks.
You’re a tool Pressure,
They were asked to solve a brief and imho they did it very well. It’s a simple, eye-catching solution. It probably didn’t need to be a campaign (just conductor was enough fellas), but if that brief landed on my desk I’d be pretty stoked with how that turned out.
Oh fuck off 9:26.
This is about as first base as an idea can get.
Raise your bar man.
What would you have done, 9:37AM?
Boldy going where many ad folks have gone before.
Strong with idea you are not.
Just because a brief can sometimes (in fact rarely) serve up the ingredients that make an idea come “easily”, doesn’t mean it isn’t a good idea. We work back to the brief and say anyone could have done it, but even that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good idea. And let’s face it, many so called “AWARD school” ideas are only in need of quality execution to be good work. Plenty of relatively weak ideas get lauded for their quality execution. A fairly recent globally award winning campaign for binoculars comes to mind.
Guess it’s ok to just settle, hey 9:26?
No need to push for more. Sounds a bit like a certain writer’s attitude…
Ahhhh Pressure, ya just another dickless anonymous twat.
1:57 ‘Anonymous’. Funny.
I’m intrigued Pressure,
How would you have done this so much better?
The idea could have been pushed a little harder. At least it’s somewhat interesting. Better than the Jamscam stuff Adelaide has a reputation for. Maybe they could have put some glue on it?? Just a thought or has that been done.
I agree these are nice, simple ads. I’m tired of the ‘yawners’ who can’t put their money where their mouth is. How often do I look around and see really great work – on bus sides, in the paper, online? Almost never.
It made me smile.
Does everything have to be some revolutionary philanthropic movement to work?
Obviously Pressure you must have the Midas touch.
No Pressure.
if your mum can think of the idea, it’s probably best to keep thinking.
Despite all the negativity on display, all three of these are very nice ads.
Particularly as they appear to be real not scam.
It’s so sad when the writer of these ads gets so defensive at other people’s comments.
Perhaps it’s time for a career change?
You know as well as I do that there’s not one other agency in Adelaide that would open it’s doors for you.
Good luck with your self-destructive ways.
10:21 I think he owns the agency. So why would he need to find work elsewhere? Careful Johnny.
10:21 ‘it’s doors for you’. Seems with your writing skills, you better hope you have options too. Unless of course you can scam your way through life. Keep Jamming.
Careful Johnny?
No it’s not him but I’m sure he would have much to say about you know who.
Now go read a dictionary for god’s sake.
Wow! You seem to have a hell of a lot of free times these days.
Why is that? 😉
Why are we all so quick to bag out the creatives? I heard the suit on this job is a real muppet!
As the “suit” who worked on this project, I take great offence at being referred to as a “muppet”. I think “puppet master” is a much more appropriate term. Anyway, let’s not take our eyes off the prize: reading creatives bitch at each other is much more fun than slagging off the account service work horses! Bitch slap anyone?
We at ASO are absolutely delighted with the three images for the campaign.
Thanks for the support guys, Please check out our TVCS too

Jealous anyone?
For crying out loud. There’s nothing wrong with these ads.
Control your insecurities.
x, you’re right. There is NOTHING wrong with these ads. They may be lazy, hackneyed ideas, but there is nothing wrong with them.
Still, from the number of comments on this one, it’s good to see the haters are still alive and well. Without them, there would be no moral high ground, right?
From the editing of my comment, it looks like it’s ok to smash Johnny but not defend him. Curious.
Jesus. Get a grip people.
I’m sure these will help bring stacks of people to the ASO who wouldn’t previously have gone. At a wild guess that’s what they were supposed to do. And they’re fun.
Still waiting for the knockers to explain how they would’ve done so much better. Lazy and hackneyed? Where’s the better ad then?
