Creativity can never be drained out of advertising. I don’t know if sales will increase post these ads, but smiles definitely will.
An incredible Incredible India TV commercial by Nirvana films.
A wonderfully executed TV commercial by TATA Communications for its foreign markets (hence not featured on Indian TV).
A glocalized Intel ad for an Indian audience.
An Amul billboard I spotted in Bombay, targeting the 90% reservation proposal for SSC students by the Maharashra government. Never doubt the power of the freedom of speech in a democracy!
What are your favorites this year?

I can’t say I’m one to watch television, therefore I never actually see any adverts (good, bad, I’d say good lol) but I did enjoy those
Thanks for posting!
