I am filing these ads under “Wish I’d Thought of That.”
When you spend most of your time trying to think up visual/verbal concepts that communicate that all mighty key benefit, you really appreciate seeing creative that gets it right. Like this stuff.
Created by DDB, Paris, the first ad makes the case that Stihl chainsaws are FAST.
This one, that Stihl chainsaws are QUIET.
Exaggeration is a great creative strategy. It’s one of my “go to” idea starters when I begin a concept project, and I think both of these employ exaggeration to great success. I am not sure what kind of results the campaigns generated, but from a purely creative standpoint, as someone who spends his days in the creative trenches, I admire the quick, clean, impactful simplicity of them.
