1. The flash mob idea was banded about for years at S+S for other clients so it's not original. FACT.

2. The Dank press ads are genius because of their simplicity. FACT.

The t-mobile ad is just a take on the YouTube group improv everywhere they did this ages ago. It's definatley not original.

Does it really matter if the idea isn't completely original. Every idea needs inspiration. Even if the idea was pretty much copy and pasted, it still took the creatives' ability to make that connection between the ad and their client's product.

Besides, it made me feel good. OPINION.

Sorry, had to.

Original or not, the T-Mobile film is a good execution, with lots of WOM. Dank! makes me wonder what will happen with copywriters if art directors continue hitting it so right, as they did in the print campaign for second hand furniture. Citroen's is pure design and pure simplicity, with tons of branding and proprietary cues. Good picks!

The T Mobile ad just makes me think of two things: hanging around Liverpool St station on a wet January evening, and S&S employees listlessly googling for viral crazes to flog off to the next client.

Love the press advertising for the Second-hand furniture company Dank!

A masterpiece in graphic design / photography.

The Press ads for Dank are 'remarkably' similar to the brilliant Stella Artois campaign
by Lowe Lintas from 2000. (a Cannes Lions Grand Prix winner)

Exactly the same idea with a different logo.

A masterpiece in copying and pasting?

Dank campaign is brilliant & has nothing in common/similar with the Stella Artois campaign ideawise.

The execution on the other hand is similar (still, far from "exact same")

Maybe the people who can't tell what sets the two apart shouldn't attempt to critique the work.
