Leafly
Emphasising science over stoners
Cannabis information website Leafly's full-page ad in the New York Times broke new ground by being the newspaper's first-ever marijuana advertisement. The ad focuses on addressing the way medical marijuana can help treat several medical conditions, utilising Periodic Table-style cells to emphasise science rather than stoners, plus the prominent 'Just Say Know' tagline.

Queen Bee Salon and Spa
We couldn't agree more...
It wasn't just the obvious products and services that took advantage of Valentine's Day. This amusing campaign, created for the Queen Bee Salon & Spa by LA agency Hanlon, draws on self-image paranoia masterfully. The slightly ruder part of the campaign can be seen here.

Cyclists awareness
A thought-provoking print ad from Brazilian agency Heads Propaganda
"Every day, more and more cyclists are being killed in Brazilian streets and roads. Let's respect the cyclists. Let's stop hunting." That's what this print ad from Heads Propaganda in Brazil aimed to promote and we think they did a great job. Striking and immediately thought-provoking, it's a triumph of a print ad design.

Intricate and inventive

A typographic treat
We loved this print ad from advertising agency HY Connect, mainly for the typographic execution. Showcasing a beach hut style background, it certainly portrays the kind of laid-back style the brand would like to be associated with.

El Universo
A nice treatment of the familiar location symbol
Ecuadorian agency Koenig & Partners created this print ad for daily newspaper El Universo's campaign promoting its new training course, 'The ABC of Entrepreneurship'. With the tagline 'Place your business on the map', utilising the familiar location symbol was perhaps not the most original idea but the execution was charming.

Monopoly
In addition to Scrabble, Monopoly is another board game that has had numerous print advertisements throughout the years since its initial release in 1923. This print advertising campaign is designed for those who already know the board game fairly well and for those who do, this campaign works extremely well. The design plays on the games construction, with the red hotels opening up the readers imagination. It was incredibly important to ensure that the same colour was used throughout the entire page so that the clothes of those in the picture could highlight the intensity of the red.

Scrabble Squirrel “The Surprising Power of Words”
Scrabble has been around for decades and it’s had its fair share of advertisements. However, this piece offered the tagline of “the surprising power of words” and the playful illustration of a rather large squirrel chasing a rather small fox. In the game, the word squirrel would receive more points than the word fox, which explains the idea behind the advertisement. It’s all word play! Find more great scrabble ads here.

B&B Hotels “Bacon”
German advertisement agency, Publicis, worked on this master piece to promote bed and breakfast hotels, which is a piece you should certainly feast your eyes on.

The rest of the series features a simple cheese sandwich and sausages on toast.

Wacom “Creativity has no boundaries”
Wacom designed a creative print advertisement to showcase and promote their latest tablet design, Bamboo, under the tagline “Creativity has no boundaries”. Wacom’s art director and illustrator, Maria Molina, created a series of three illustrations each featuring various designer tools with a twist; in this instance it features a pair of scissors and a magnifying glass. With minimalist styling at heart, with minimal typography, bright colours and simple graphics at heart, this campaign works perfectly.

The Guardian “The Whole Picture”
UK newspaper brand, The Guardian, commissioned London based BBH to create this eye-catching pie. The pie attempts to convey the message to their audience that they receive the full story. The advertisement is clean and is cleverly designed to convey its message. Incorporating The Guardian’s colour scheme into the design, with the use of the purple background, the lowercase g and branding located at the bottom, the piece features a simple pie chart with the legend, ‘the whole picture’ next to each key.

Fanta - The World's First Tastable Print AD!
The new Fanta campaign boasts the title as the first tastable print advertisement. This means that you tear a piece of their advertisement and place it in your mouth. Of course, you can do that with any advertisement but this once tastes like oranges, similar to their signature soft drink. The advertisement, created by OgilvyOne in Dubai, reads, “Like a burst of sunshine through a cool wisp of wind, it’s sweet and tangy, surprising and juicy. It tickles like a delicious secret that you cannot bear to share”. You can see how it all works in the following video:

Lego
It's a classic recipe for a successful print advertising campaign - a double-edged phrase and a series of quirky images that bring the alternative meaning to life. This campaign for Lego by French agency Grey Paris played on the slogan 'Creativity forgives everything' with a series of scenes of young scamps misbehaving.

Sebo Museu Do Livro
We all get a little tense when a movie adaptation is made of one of our favourite books. Characters, plots and environments are often tampered with - and this brilliant print ad from Brazilian advertising agency RockerHeads perfectly captured this sense of dread with their tagline: 'A big part of the story is lost when it becomes a movie'.

OLED-TV
Few print campaigns give much thought to the print products the ads will actually appear in. Here's one that did.
When M&C Saatchi Stockholm were asked to promote LG Electronics' new curved OLED-TV they noted that it was 4mm thin - the same width as the most-read tech magazine in the Nordics, Sound & Vision. The agency cleverly capitalised on the coincidence, using the magazine spine as a unique media placement - creating what they've called 'The World's Slimmest Ad' for 'The World's Slimmest OLED-TV'.
