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.

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.
