New M&C Saatchi ad?

Advertising

M&C Saatchi's Dixons.co.uk campaign attracted a lot of comment when posted here recently. Now a rival agency has got in on the act...

The Dixons.co.uk ads cheekily encourage shoppers to check out products in certain department stores and then go and buy them online instead.

Big Al's Creative Emporium suggests you could do the same with advertising... check out their version over on our Feed section here

…from the Vogue-F**king receptionistas… may be a slight kerning issue methinks.

Looks like Big Al is so fast and cheap, they can't afford a decent artworker...

Producing a pastiche of a successful advert is, although funny, not exactlly very 'creativer'.

Great stuff Big Al's.
It's really good to see a bit of chutzpah and cheekiness out there.
A pat on the back from Sell! Towers.

Creative Review and their readers never fail to disappoint. It's a bit of FUN. Yes fun. It's the cousin of SENSE OF HUMOUR. Try it someday.

How so? Fallon have been getting away with it pretty successfully for quite some time now.

Saatchi's could clearly benefit with input from a bunch of 'creativer' out of work bloggers. Please apply to bitterfailures@saatchi.com

That's mental. Stuart, i keep getting a bounce back from the bitterfailures email address. Is there a postal address that you know of?

Perfect - I love it, bring it all on! This is the future of advertising not too mention the eventual downful of it too. We need more of this. Thank you M&C Saatchi
