Ad of the Week: Love and Hate

Written by on

This week's 'Ad of the Week' explores the concepts of love and hate, and we've found some particularly interesting examples of adverts which work on the themes.

Of course, there's one brand which will immediately spring to mind, and rightly so. Marmite has managed to turn it's well-known reputation to it's advantage, and can be seen here to be doing just that, in a series of rather clever ways. Let us know which one is your favourite!

We've also thrown in a few more examples of ads used to promote the German website, jobsintown.de. Life really is too short for the wrong job, and these ads illustrate it really cleverly!

Anyway, be sure to post a comment or two and have a fantastic weekend!

I like the job ads, very thought provoking. A) you could be working in a really cruddy job B) imagine if that's how things were? and how we take things for granted.

I like the Mr Bean ad too, the others invoke a very different feeling.
So yep, the ads done its job.

Good one lads!

See my husband and kids think there is a fairy that flys off with the washing and brings it back clean... not someone sat in the washing machine! Still, nice easy to read imagery.

Marmite's love hate theme is great, and is one that has been used for years in different guises.

Look forward to next weeks installment

Only a couple of hours until we can all go home! Thanks for all of your comments so far - maybe a few of you need to sleep on it before deciding on your favourite! If that's the case, I'll let you off - you can always let us know on Monday!

As much as I like the Marmite Ads, the other ones are my favourites. They're so clever, and there's so much detail in each of them. I mean, how distressed does the woman in the washing machine look? And you can almost feel how much pain the guy in the petrol pump is going to be in with his neck arched over like that ... and the guy in the cash machine has even had to tuck his tie into his shirt because he's struggling for space! Most impressive!
