Guinness haved launched a few new ads of late, from AMVBBDO ad agency in London. This is one of their better recent ideas although for me they just don’t compare to what they’ve done in the past.
I was going to link to some of my favourite past ads of theirs but unfortunately their main website [...]
There’s an intersting collection of pharamceutical print adverts from the 50s, 60s and 70s over at ex-novo’s Espacios publicitarios album.
I’m just showing one example here. The typography could be improved upon but I think you’ll agree that it’s a nice idea.

The strapline reads, “Such a complex world needs a good explanation”.
It was produced by Olabuenaga Chemistri, Mexico.
This article takes a look at advertising in virtual worlds and its usage by the big boys such as Microsoft, Coca Cola, Wells Fargo, and many others. This question is this – are virtual worlds the next realm in advertising?
