Identity Theft Scares You

CitiBank Identity Theft Solutions features "Darrel," a bald man sitting on his weight bench, bewitched with the voice of an 18-year-old girl. He starts out by saying, "I stole his password online and 'Hello, makeover!' I got hair extensions, plumped up the lips and snapped the hottest head shots. Hollywood, here I come! Tell me what you think." Then comes the off-key rendition of "Unbreak My Heart."

Australia : Effective Advertising

Two 30-second spots and one 60-second ad shows Australians telling viewers that:
  • we've saved you a spot on the beach,
  • we've got the sharks out of the pool,
  • we've got the roos off the green,
So Where The Bloody Hell Are You?


Do You Get It?

The Austin American-Statesman launched a TV campaign called Get it! that asks viewers how often they get it (the newspaper). Full of innuendo, the campaign is clean and funny.
