May 24, 2011Some truly excellent ads, although I’d contest that the last one isn’t exactly “smart,” given that it has a quite blatant spelling mistake in one of the only two word in the text.

May 24, 2011Advertising at it’s best. Despite the digital revolution, print design will still work
very hard for you.

Just wanted to say I really enjoyed reading the 30 Examples of Smart Print Advertisement article, however I just wanted to point out a typo that was overlooked.
Shriram Cement: Athena, Greece
Caption on image reads: Unfotunately since 1987. Maybe Shriram Cement should hire someone to proofread their marketing images

May 24, 2011That’s a pretty major typo on the cement ad.

May 24, 2011Many of these were never printed nor commissioned by the company they supposedly represent.

May 24, 2011Thank you @Kinectronic, @Heather Cosson and @John Sprofera for pointing out this huge spelling mistake. I didn’t notice it. Anyway, I think it’s really smart ad (except the mistake).

May 25, 2011Thanks ! Really inspiring! The creative ads are much more credible for me as they are not that obtrusive and trigger positive emotions.

May 26, 2011I see so much web design, its really nice to see some print advertisements once in a while, especially clever ones (Minus the spelling mistake in the last one!). I like the Samsung zoom with the dog and the Air Wick motion sensor. The WWF one is pretty cool too. It’s weird seeing a Tuna with a Panda face, they’ve made them all look friendly so you feel sorry for them too!
