Ad Blog Arabia

Nicely executed job.the batteries got lot of features, long lasting,Maintanance free, water Resistant .etc…..But here idea is expressed in a simple manner,it cleraly shows that these batteries are long lasting,i have seen the ad which Ogilvy Mexico done, guys that ad says DEEP INSIDE, can some one can explain what it mean? that was talking about either water resistant or maintanance free…enough of enough stop blaming FP7.

2nd one… i saw the link some one had send here. An Advertising student done it long back. not even released any where,even though ideas are totaly diffrent from here.dead body in the forest, still tourch lights are on…..ha haha haha haha hahah ha ha guys what a shame on it. duracell tourch batteries r got 12 hours life. ha ha haha ha hah . i think FP7 oman guys had done a good job. stop blaming pls getting to the reality

you think this and the original are poor ya zalameh malak ???????? when u changed ur last battery for ur Q7???

Dont have a q7…First off this is stock imagery which is fine but the least they could do is change the license plate to show local; second the fact that it’s been done before, third what kills me the most, is cars that are that old and torn apart still have front lights that arent broken…

walla u right amre about the light this is really wasn’t in thoughts of FP7…

Mr. Amre Husseini,

Did u see all the three ads? Didn’t u notice that the bulbs are broken in two the creatives?

Anyway, am sure u r a trainee who has just joined advertising. So I spare you!

Learn art from this work my dear. All the best!

Mr. Tricky,

Xerox is just a brand. The product is photocopier.

U don’t even know this!!! That just shows ur ignorance.

You Anti FP7 ******!

I think u have tried for a job in FP7, and that they’ve thrown you out of the window.

FP7, shame on you guys

David is this your work?
Don’t you see the original work man?
it’s being done dude,
and i think you’re the one he just joined advertising and not Amre.

Dear Grand Master David:

Relax…In two of the ads, the light is shining from front or rear lights of a car, in one of the executions yes you are right the stock image had the front lights removed.

You are 100% right I am a trainee, I learn something new everyday, but I do beg to differ that there is truly nothing to be learnt from these pieces. At least take the time to pick cars that come from an era when the Sultanate had roads, or pick cars that at least carry Omani License plates.

Finally, remember one thing, advertising is not about art, its about communication and messaging.

Mmmm…. let’s see…. Ogilvy Mexico’s is a shockingly similar concept…….mmm…. and it’s FP7……ahem ahem….. but that was for water resistant batteries? it’s gotta be different right?

Wrong…. it’s basically the same concept, but done worse.

Lets say something useful & maybe someone would read it & learn… ” and all of us are in a learning process ends with death ”

1. Define creativity Elements for an ad?
2. How an ad should consider cultural issues in its’ communication?

i put the 2nd Q because the visual communication in this ad in not culturally correct, it\s a foreign car in a foreign environment.

I hope everyone writes something useful. some people well learn something & i don’t mean ” FP7 “.

i think that Booyakkasha makes an interesting point.

FP7, you’ve been nailed on your work. Whether rightly or wrongly in your eyes.

Posting this kind of thing is killing your reputation in the region. It happens to all of us occassionly, even me on this site! (Ask Amre!) But this is getting ridicolous.

and it is being defended by the media!!! http://bloganubis.com/2009/04/05/rusty-idea/
