Economist Ads cont.

Posted by Charlotte on August 17, 2009 at 11:43 pm.

I wrote about about my favourite ads from the legendary Economist campaign last year and they are still producing some of the most interesting and innovative advertising, so now it’s time for an update. Below are a few more of my favourites.

They continue to retain their classic plays on words but they have also gotten a little adventurous as you can see below.

The Get a World View campaign (Twister and the Ostrich below) was awarded an OBIE in the Media category. Large version here

If you want to see more of this year’s campaigns I really recommend heading to Colouribus which is an amazing archive/hub of advertising in all mediums, unfortunately you can’t have the high res versions unless you subscribe, but that seems fair enough, and the free version is amazing in itself.
