Advertising geekdom

I guess I haven't revealed my deep geekiness when it comes to advertising, but then I did promise not to talk about work. However I saw this, this afternoon and just thought 'that's amazing'. It's the concept more than the execution really although that's pretty cool as well

Honda's advertising has been consistently amazing for years now and this Civic ad. really tops it IMO (have to add that don't I)

I must agree this is another stunning advert. I have to admit to being a Honda fan.

< really tops it IMO >

God no Lucy, I wish. Unfortunately I work in B2b ICT clients. Very heavy duty and boring, but lucrative.

Gavin Corder said...

Six, you have a duty to make the link work. Otherwise you are going to shoot down the trade for both of us...

Gavin Corder said...

Six if you put in the html (here with an extra space between each bit) you'll be able to click the word as above

< a href = "http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b121/GavinCorder/index_loader.swf " >Ad < / a >

Or if you right click on a blank area in this comments window and go to view source, you can cut and paste the code from my comment above so the spaces are right.

The trade can breathe a collective sigh of relief! Well done Six!
