Eng “The creative idea: a close-up of a mouth that looks like an anus... I wonder what asshole creative thought no one would notice how unoriginal this idea was! I guess they can kiss the awards goodbye. Copy or coincidence? Be the judge.”

Fr « L'idée créative : une bouche en gros plan qui ressemble à un anus... je me demande quel trou du cul a pensé que personne ne se rendrait compte du manque flagrant d'originalité de cette idée! Une campagne qui ne finira pas dans les annales. Copie ou coïncidence? À vous de juger »

Be the judge!

    Bonus track, DAFLON made the same idea in 2024 (and won a PHNX awards BRONZE) :

    I agree these are very similar. Too similar. Question: How did you find those old ads? When I google search using the 2025 image, they don’t come up. Also, the more recent campaign from 2024 doesn’t come up, which is very similar. I did a word search as well (have to be a bit careful with this subject), but … butt … nothing appeared. So, genuinely curious. Thanks.

    I have a huge collection of them in my personal database. I own more than 300 advertising annuals and ad books. And I use B-to-B pro websites like Ad Forum, Ads of the World, Luerzer’s Archive and Ads Spot among others…
    You’re right Google search is a good starting point but you cannot only count on it.

    Le pire, c’est que (comme souvent) la premiere campagne est la mieux réalisée
