Time for a great campaign
Posted on 2007-Jun-19 at 12:42

Here is an amazing print campaign that launched in April.  An African newspaper launched this campaign to promote readership/ subscriptions.

This campaign utilizes some brilliant creative. The imagery is extremely simple, yet very powerful. The ads take snapshots out of time, 24 hours before a major historical event. For example, the day before Kennedy (US president) was shot or the day before the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The copy on all of the ads reads "“The world can change in a day. Don’t miss your daily edition of in-depth news. Cape Times - Know all about it.”

Great idea. Simple. Effortless. Memorable. Letting the idea do the work and not trying too hard.

I love ads that make me jealous.

Inspiring
